What a rehearsal! The sound of hurried footsteps sounded through the narrow alleyway, punctured by the sound of the occasional splash from a particularly large puddle. No matter how many times she tried the choreographer was never pleased with her performance. Over and over again she did the same damned five minutes of Pointe. Over and over again there was something wrong. Her movements were too stiff; her movements were not controlled enough. She was half a meter too fast; she was a beat too slow. The biggest thing that he complained about was her breasts. No ballerina should have had such a heavy chest! There was even one point where he stopped working altogether and refused to resume until she had properly bound them. It was ridiculous! All the other dancers were allowed to go at the normal time but she was kept for three hours after just to make sure her foot was pointed just right.
Maria Johanna Foster much preferred when Manuel was under the employment of Madame Do’trive. This guy was a slave driver and now, much to her horror, she had to walk back to her apartment all by herself in the dark. Calling a cab was out of the question; she was completely tapped until that Friday when she got paid. All of the minutes on her cellphone were gone, too, until she could get a card to refill it.
Just her luck!
Carefully she wrapped her coat around her small frame to ward off the chill in the air. It was only mid October but the weather had already taken a turn for the worse. The week before the city had seen its first snowfall of the season. Though it melted almost instantly the next day; all that remained were piles of pitch black slush and puddles of freezing water. Water that always managed to make it inside of her boots! An audible groan escaped her lips and she shook her foot; swearing as the feeling in her toes was lost. In frustration she began to stomp her feet, squealing through her muffler. Pale gold curls bounced and bright green eyes shone with her frustration.
There was nothing that could have made that night worse.
