Sweat dripped down Abigail's face onto the collar of the red shirt she was wearing. It was a hot day. In fact, it was so hot, Abi could see the heat waves moving through her kitchen. She didn't dare turn on the stove, despite how hungry she was. All it would do was make the house ten degrees hotter. She wasn't quite sure if she could stand such extreme temperatures. A frown formed on her face, and her eyes darted to her front door. The sound of footsteps shuffling past her house rang through her ears, and she could hear the nasty comments the teenagers exchanged as they past. She's a witch, they told each other. She's a murderer, I bet she's always cooking bodies in there. There was a good reason Abi never dared go outside.

"Damn teenagers,[/font]" She mumbled to herself, "Need to learn to respect their elders.[/font]" Abi was always under the impression that her mental age was much higher than her physical age. While she may appear to be twenty-three, often times she'd act like she was eighty. Complaints about back problems and noisy children, and telling people to get off of her property seems to have made the neighbors think the exact same thing. Until she put a bathing suit on. That was when you could see every muscle in her body moving beneath her skin. She was slender, but muscular. What less to expect from an ex-swordswoman?

It's too hot outside for me to not be in the water, She thought to herself as she wiped the sweat from her brow with her thumb. It didn't help much, but something was better than nothing. She jumped off of her stool, and headed for the bedroom with intents to slip into her bathing suit. It didn't matter at all to her that the water she would be swimming in was polluted. Most people tried to keep out of the water, for fear their bare feet would scrape against a dead body or something.

Her bathing suit was completely black, as expected from someone who dressed as plainly as Abigail. She wasn't one for flowers or pretty bows or anything of the like. It was two pieces, the top covering Abi's small breasts completely, and the bottom covering only a small portion of her upper thighs. The bathing suit didn't leave much else to the imagination. Not that there was much to see. Abi had a small, boy-ish body, and a complete lack of curves. Though she was toned and muscular, her body itself wasn't very attractive. Her hair rested delicately over her well defined collar bone, and bony shoulders. Her arms were abnormally long, and lean, as well as her legs. She had no belly, and her ribs stood out over her abs. And she was pale. She was very pale. Which was strange considering the fact that she spent a lot of time in her bathing suit, outside, in the sunshine. Of course, she didn't care what people thought about her body.

She stepped outside, letting the sun pour light over her body. Her street was, for the most part, deserted. Her neighbor was outside tending to remainders of his garden, but that was about it. And it was hot. It was cooler than it was inside of Abi's house, but it was still hot. Abi squinted. The sun bounced off of the water into her eyes as she let her toes dangle over the dock. A cool sea breeze blew some of the salt water into her face. A familiar stinging sensation tickled her tongue, and she couldn't help but smile. She leaned forward, and let herself fall head first into the water, splashing her neighbor. He cursed at her. She grinned.
