Anya sighed deeply as she stepped from the bar and onto the streets. She slipped her hands in her pockets and walked away, her dark hair falling into her eyes. She didn't really wait for anyone, she just needed to go. She glanced around, searching the dark shadows for anything that might be lurking. She felt tense, alert, and cautious, her whole body felt like with any sudden movement, she would spring away, and leap into action. But she hated to fight, she fought when she had to, never because she wanted to. She clenched her jaw. She tried to relax, to breathe. She wanted to run. She found real freedom as a panther. But she couldn't let anyone know what she was, especially humans. Bad things happened when humans knew what lurks in the darkness.

Johnny chased after Anya. She took off in such a hurry.
"Hey, everything alright?"

Anya slowed in her step when she heard Johnny. She glanced behind her, and turned to him. "I'm fine, I swear," she told him, not really wanting to reveal her feelings to a stranger. She flashed him a smile, it was fake, and hesitant. "I... just needed air."

"I don't believe that." Johnny replied. "Whats up? Come on, tell me."

Anya shook her head. "You don't know me. You can't know."

"Yeah I can." Johnny shot back. "Over time, we're not going to be strangers to each other. I don't know whats going to happen next here, the only thing I can rely on are the people around me. That includes you and Veronica. Talk to me."

Anya glanced away from him. Why did he care? He wouldn't understand, he couldn't. How could he? He's just human. "I can't rely on people around me. Many people are suffocating." No one could be trusted.

"I'm sorry if I'm making you feel that way. If anything I'm just trying to get a grip and ease this whole situation for all of us. I'm trying to help, that's all." Johnny replied as he put his hands in the air.

Anya shook her head. "No. Not right here, with just you. I meant in the bar," she told him. "I felt like I was suffocating." She wasn't sure why she admitted that. "It hits suddenly, at random moments."

"Whats up?", Johnny asked as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Talk to me, come on."

Anya lifted her gaze to meet his. "I'm alone, and not being alone scares me."

Anya shrugged. "I can't explain it. It's complicated. It'll hurt your head to figure me out."

"My, you are determined. To tell you would be telling my entire life to you. And that is both a long story, and something I'm not all too willing to give out," she told him.
