she threw herself off the edge

Prologue

        As she looked out over the lights of New York City, she felt someone's gaze on her. She turned around but there was no one there. Or was that a person? No. It couldn't be. The being had no outline. Only a black interior that seemed to get closer. She wasn't afraid, just confused. Then again, she was most of the time. The dark sillouhette traveled quickly across the roof of the building towards her. She began to feel panic as the being got closer. But it was no longer moving now. It had suddenly stopped. She cocked her head to the side and felt her panic diminish slightly. However, she was still confused as the feeling of unease was not so fortunately gone as quickly. The sounds of the city were drowned out by a ringing in her ears. The being, which was only about ten feet in front of her, began to take less and less of a human shape. The ringing in her ears grew louder as the inhuman thing in front of her made sudden, jerky movements as it shifted into a creature most people only see in nightmares. She walked backwards as the dark figure stepped towards her quickly. As she reached the ledge of the roof she looked the nightmarish being in it's empty face. Out of fear, she shut her eyes and slid down the wall of the ledge and curled up.
        "Ella?" She heard a voice. Opening her eyes, she realized it was no longer dark and the being was no longer in front of her. She couldn't stand up. "Ella!" The voice grew nearer. She looked up into the face of someone whom she did not recognize. She heard his voice but could not make out his words. As she looked past this person, she noticed a familiar looking figure. It was the thing from the night before. The ringing in her ears suddenly returned. A panic once again swept over her. The man who was before her dissolved into nothing as she had her eyes opened but could not see. She could not hear anything but it. Not even her own screaming. She could not see anything but it. Not even her own death when she threw herself over the edge.
