Oh great. Figures it would start raining now. A soft voice mumbled from the doorway as they reached into their bag and shuffled around for a bit. After a minute they managed to pull out a purple umbrella before opening it and walking outside. Elena thanked her lucky stars that she had actually remembered to bring her umbrella to work today. The last thing she really needed would be to have to run home in a thunderstorm and she got soaking wet. It had been a long day and after everything that had happened all she wanted to do was take a hot shower and then curl up in bed while the tv whisked her away to some dream land where she could forget about all of this for the night. Of course the next morning she would just be woken up and have to start the process all over again. There were plenty of people in the world who would have given up everything to work for one of the largest fashion magazines in the country but over the past few months it had become a nightmare for Elena. They had such a big deadline coming out in two weeks and every moment had been filled with stress and headaches as nothing went according to plan. It seemed like everything that could go wrong was going wrong and it was Elena's head on the chopping block if they didn't meet their deadline. Even as the water droplets splashed against her umbrella Elena was glad to have a moment just to breath and clear her head. After spending the past ten hours either in front of a computer screen or hunched over a mock-up of the issue she was glad to actually have some space. Everyone else had pretty much gone inside so she found herself walking the dark streets alone with only her breathing and the sounds of water against concrete keeping her company. Sighing, Elena pushed a strand of black hair out of her face as she made her way down the street and towards her apartment. She could see the tall building in front of her and a small smile spread across her face as she could already picture the warm bubble bath. Ouch. What the? Her boots hit against something solid causing Elena to trip slightly and drop her umbrella. Holy. Crap. Looking down she moved closer to what had tripped her and what she had first sought was a garbage bag suddenly took the form of something very human. It looked like a young man who had on a pair of cat ears from a Halloween costume. Moving closer she could see the bruises clear on his body and it appeared as if he had recently been beaten and left in the ally for dead. 'Just my luck. Of course I'd be the one to find a dead guy in the ally.' Well, it looked like he was breathing but now she had to think of what to do with him. She could call the police but they'd probably throw him in jail or wouldn't even bother showing up just saying he was a bum. She couldn't really leave him here either and suddenly Elena saw images of her warm bath fading away. I'm an idiot. Elena mumbled to herself as she tucked away the umbrella before swinging his arm over her shoulder as she gently lifted him up and carried him towards the building. After a good ten minutes of dragging him she unlocked the door to her apartment before dropping him with a bit of a grunt on the couch. Great, so she had an unconscious guy on her couch, now what?
