TOPIC | I made a mini horror drabble?
I got bored and kind of just
Spit this out onto tumblr
Liked it so thought I would post it here

Not really looking for critique, just wanting to show it off.

*~*~*~*~~*

Hips swaying in time to the music, the young woman let herself be swept away in the moment, the thrum of the melody almost intoxicating. Lips parted as she sucked in air greedily, she almost didn’t see the green eyes on her — a predatory gaze from the red haired girl across the room. No, this wasn’t the first time they’ve met, and a part of her brain made the woman stop to question — was this intentional? Was this more than just coincidence?

There’s a pause, a moment where their eyes meet, and instead of the butterflies in her stomach that normally came with these type of meetings, the girl stopped completely. A sense of fear, or dread, overcame her as the red head started to make her way through the crowd. This… Something wasn’t right. Something was horribly, horribly wrong.

Swallowing down the knot in her throat, the air suddenly too dry for her liking, the dancer turned and left. No, she didn’t look back, and she didn’t notice the ginger following her. Well, she did — when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Something was horribly, horribly wrong.

That much was clear when she felt the rag covering her mouth, and her body dropped after she gasped in the sickeningly sweet scent.

For right now, the girl’s head was so fogged that she didn’t even remember her own name. All she knew was she was looking up, and all she saw was green.

I do commissions!!!!
Do you have any plan on continuing this? I don't know if qualifies as horror just yet exactly, but it's nearly 7:30 in the morning so heck if I know my genres right now, pfft.

Yeah, I kind of left it ambiguous -- but it's hinted that she was drugged and kidnapped by the red head girl.

"All she saw was green" -- the first thing she saw about the girl was her green eyes.

ouo

It's not horror in the sense it's gory or death but more of a little drabble that makes you think.

Hm...
I don't know if I'll continue it to be honest. It was merely that, a tiny little drabble =w=

I don't know if I'd call this horror, maybe suspense. To me horror tends to be either a lot more shocking, unnerving or has more dire implications in one way or another. Then again I'm a pretty big horror fan, especially when it takes the form of body horror, so I might not be the best judge of things.

Yeah I know what you mean, I've written worse in the sense there's an actual fear that settles in but

As far as I can tell the rules here seem to be keep things around PG-13. No profanity of any sort, no gore for its own sake, no sexual content and that's pretty much it. I mean stuff with fighting, small amounts of violence and similar things seems fine.
