Ever since Natalia had made that next step in her marriage to move in with Devin, things personally had gone downhill. In just one week, she had had to fight her way out of a situation TWICE. It was almost as if the town was trying to eat her up and spit her out... No-one moved into Fabletown. Since Nat had moved all of her stuff into Devin’s place from her apartment in Queens, her luck had just been terrible. Her old apartment also just wouldn’t sell. It was just like there was this... Curse. Little did she know there actually was.
Tonight, her luck was just as bad. She had left the hospital after spending the evening with Traci and was on her way back home when these three guys jumped her. Usually, Nat would have been able to take them all on; but she hadn’t even heard them coming, hadn’t even known what was happening until she was grabbed from behind and thrown down a dark alley, landing hard against a dumpster. She screamed out, and was then thrown against a wall and it winded her, sucking all the air from her lungs. She heard the voice of someone else, and then saw through hazy hues her bag get picked up off the ground and all of the attackers running away down the alley.
“Fils de pute... Merde...” She gasped, head falling back against the wall as she tried to catch a breath through gritted teeth as she clung onto her side that had earlier smashed against the edge of the dumpster. “‘m fine...”
