The morning was a warm one for January and Vanessa looked forward to taking full advantage of it as she left her house.  A nice walk would do her good- she’d blow off steam and maybe find some local bulbs and seeds for her garden.  She reached the edge of where she could safely dare to go and prepared to turn back when she ran right smack into a nasty surprise that no doubt Damon had left for the Resistance.
She shrieked before covering her mouth with both hands and bolted back toward home, her eyes darting between unoccupied buildings; the nurse subconsciously expecting an ambush. With hot tears running down her face Vanessa picked up speed desperate as she was for the safety for the locked doors of her clinic. “ Move out the www-,” she mumbled feebly before she mumbled before crashing into the first person who crossed her path. Lucky for her it was friend and not foe as they both lay splayed in the middle of the street. The blonde was seeing stars and she was probably gonna have a fat lip later.
