Role-Play Example:

Emmie peeked into the window of the bakery, everything smells so good! She hadn’t eaten in days so was almost drooling on the ground! Closing her eyes the girl pressed her palm against the glass focusing all of her concentration on the store. Opening them she found everything inside the store was moving at a creeping slow level, as if some one had hit slow play and pause at the same time. No time to lose! she snapped out of her trance, jogging to the door, she flipped the sign to “closed”! Weaving through the tables and chairs she smashed open the cash register stuffing some twenties in her pocket.
Gawking at the fresh baked goods she stuffed a pastry in her mouth just as a baker shouted out.
“HHaAAAYY… Yoouuuaah!”

Startled she spun on her heals swiping a loaf of bread and running outside just as time had started up again! Dashing into an ally ways she peeked back to see no one had followed her. “Few!! That was close!” She slumped down on the floor biting into her bread.

“That was quite an impressssive dissssplay of power, my dear.” She nearly choked on her bread as the slimy voice spoke!
“What?” she jumped to her feet standing with the bread as a bat. It may have been morning but it was still too dark to see anything. “Where are you! Who are you?!” she demanded as adrenaline started to surge through her body.
“I am with the Alliance of Night. And you will be coming with me now.” He said as he appeared a dark figure from the shadows.
“Back off a*****e! I’m not going anywhere with you!” she snapped throwing her hand up for a fight.
“You don’t have a choice in the matter.” He said calmly. He Snapped his fingers as two shadow like hands came out of thin air grabbing her hands and bringing her to her knees, “You want be rebellious when you have a taste of my acid!” He sprayed a substance in her face that instantly knocked her out. A twisted smile creped along his face as he dragged her unconscious body down into the underworld.
