Run

Run (Pete Wentz fanfic)

I heard a heart-piercing scream. I started to run faster, towards the sound. It was a girl's voice, a familiar voice. But now, the only sounds I could hear was my panting breath and heavy footsteps getting faster and faster. 

Suddenly, the scream sounded again. I was on the floor, writhing in pain. It didn't take long to realise, the blood-curdling screams were mine.  

And then I remembered.  

He was here.  

He was the one that attacked all those people.  

He was the monster.  

He was going to kill me.

************************************

Two months earlier.

I woke up to the buzzing noise of my alarm. "Urrrrrghh" I groaned. "five more min-" but it was too late. I had already passed out before being able to even finish a sentence to myself...

At some point, though, I did manage to unwillingly awaken myself from the dead and drag my slim frame over towards the curtains. As I pulled them open, I prepared myself to watch the beautiful sunrise over the city of Chicago.

Then, was when I realised that It was gone noon an I may as well of watched the sunset instead of rise.

I quickly rushed into the bathroom and had a quick shower. I dried my strawberry curls and let then flow naturally. I pulled on some yoga pants and a paramore tour T and swiftly grabbed my phone and purse and left my tacky downtown apartment.

As I walked down the stairs of my building, Texting my best friend Ash to meet at the usual place, I suddenly bumped into a tall, muscular body. I look up to see the culprit's face. God, he was gorgeous. His hair was slightly curly and his eyes were as blue as the ocean. Wow, so dreamy. He suddenly coughed and I realised I had been staring. I blushed immediately, appalled with myself. "god, i'm sorry. I uh... I-" he suddenly interrupted my awkwardness and started to laugh, making me turn a vicious scarlet. his smile just made him even more beautiful. But in a weird, freaky sort of way.

"hi i'm Jacob" he said, snapping me out of all my day dreams, once again. "and what about you? I lovely lady such as yourself must have a name, hm?" He asked. "I-I... uh". And then I ran. Yep. I know what your thinking. Smooth, right? Well it was really awkward and... I don't know. Something just didn't feel right about him.

Anyway, I put my thoughts aside about the gorgeous weirdo I had just met in my building and left. I walked down the alleys I walked through every day and broke into the abandoned car park that I went to, again, everyday and walked the stairs to floor 6, right at the top, where you could overlook the whole city. As soon as I opened the door to the top, Ashley was right in my face, looking livid. "where have you been missy!?"she said, sounding more like a demand then a question. "I've been waiting here a half hour, you know. I was getting worried! I thought you might of been... Nevermind" she said. "i'm sorry, I got caught up!" I replied, deciding not to tell her about the gorgeous weirdo for now.

In case your wondering why two sixteen year olds like ourself aren't at school in the middle of the afternoon, yeah. Our school got closed because it was attacked... By vampires. I know, right? Vampires? In Chicago? Well it's true. And the blood-sucking creatures have been roaming the city for a little over a year now. Which brings me to why we are here.

Ash and I have been training in self defence. We want to be able to defend ourselves if we're ever attacked by vamps.

See, we took karate together when we were kids but.. us being us (our usual diva selves) we quit as soon as we got yellow belts. Which is why we're making up for it now.

"well? Go get some weapons then! God Brooke, what is wrong with you today?"

She was right. I keep getting lost in my own thoughts. "sorry" I muttered, and walked towards a box leaning against the wall which used to bee used to store grit in for when it got icy back when the car park was still open. Now, me and Ash use it as our 'weapon cupboard' .

I took out a couple stakes and some silver knives and walked over to my best friend with the biggest smile on my face which she returned. I know, best friends getting excited about fighting but, yeah... we're pretty competitive.

In case your wondering. We don't actually stake each other, just practice. Ash made a "haiiiiy yaaaa" noise and that was the start of our sesh.
