Strawberry Suspense

Prologue

Her shallow, quick breathes seemed to echo through the streets, like the backstabbers they were. Red curls flowing behind her, feet making no sound on the pavement and blue eyes focused on the pavement in front of her, occasionally looking over her shoulder. She raced through the streets of London, dodging shadowy figures still stalking the dark streets. Heavy footsteps thundered after her belonging to a stocky man with only one eye and a bald man who was more brawn than brains.

"give up, girl! We'll catch u eventully!"they jeered.

She pushed thier voices out of her head and seemed to stumble but recovered quickly and nimbly leaped onto a low balcony. The two brutes ran past and she crept onto the roof, then dropping into a side-alley.

"Ive gotten away at last."she thought, relief coursing through her.

She was unaware of the dark form creeping closer to her silently, until she felt him pressing something to her nose and mouth.She gave a gasp of relization but her head began to spin and she collapsed. The last thing she saw was the bright green eyes of a man staring down at her before darkness enveloped her.
