Freedom

Chapter 1 ~I've moved on

I run, not knowing where. The one thing in my mind is, I'm free, I am finally free. They might catch me later on, but now... I don't care.

"This happened 5 years ago." I reclaimed

"That's how you escaped?" The therapist said

"Yeah, well, someone helped me but he doesn't matter anymore." I rushed my words towards the end of my sentence

"How so?" Mr. Smith, the therapist, said

"I haven't seen him since that day. In fact, he was just a stranger. I don't even know his name." My mood changed and Mr. Smith noticed, he didn't ask any more about the man

He cleared his throat, "Actually you have never specified who you were running from and where. You basically said, 'A bad place and horrible people...'" a sigh escaped his mouth as he checked his watch, "Never mind, we don't have any more time left, I'm afraid." He paused, waiting for a reply

"I understand if you don't want to talk about the incident." He continued

"Yeah, I don't. But, I'm moving to Brighton!" I exclaimed

"Oh! I know someone that lives there. You might meet him, he's very... energetic. His name is Sean and he has a YouTube channel, called Jacksepticeye!"

"No, I never heard of him." I replied

"Oh well, tell Sean I said hi, if you ever get the chance. And goodbye Mila!" he got up from his lounge chair and walked towards the door opening it for me.

We were in cozy room, I was seated on the couch and he was on the right of me in his chair. It was a small room but he managed, having a room soundproof was pretty much all he needed. I looked at him, never really thought of Mr. Smith as a YouTube kind of guy.

"Goodbye!" I said as I headed out the door.

I walked down the hallway to the front door after I checked out. Once I was outside I head towards my car, a Nissan Ultimate, and got in.

I sigh "You can come out now," I said as I turn on my car.

He came out of my black heart shaped pendant and yawned "God that human is so annoying." Dark said

Dark aka, a demon, is connected to the pendant that I'm currently wearing. Usually his counterpart is a human named Mark (he told me) but he thought I was "special" so to say because I was the only human without a demon counterpart that can see demons. So he wanted to observe me, so to speak.

"You never told me you were moving... Why didn't you?" his low deep voice turned demonic, manipulative, and cunning all together.

I have gotten used to it, to the point that it's almost annoying, but at first, I pretty much crapped my pants.

"Because you would forget the next day," I'm currently driving to a In-n-Out. "besides why would you care?"

He sighed, annoyed, "You're moving out of LA that's why! And you are moving into Anti's territory as well!" he stopped " ummm I mean, you're moving out of my territory"

I don't really care about his problems, right now I just want food. I parked the car in the In-n-Out parking lot and placed my head on the steering wheel. I felt sick, another headache is happening. Tears barely escaping as I think. Another day, another tear. Why do I always have to be stressed?

Dark placed his hand on my back (a rare thing to do), "Hey, everything will be ok. Just don't cry." His voice changed, it sounded more like a kind talk show host...

I raised my head off the steering wheel and looked at him.

He looked like a flickering light...

Every time I would blink he looked like a more human version of himself. This is scary... it kept on going for a minute.

I broke, this is to much... Tears falling down my face as I shout "STOP!!!"

It stopped...

He's back to normal, but isn't talking. I sighed and got out the car wiping my tears off with my hands, I pressed my back against my car door and crossed my arms under my chest. I heard the door on the other side open and close, I wasn't looking but I knew it was him. He walked to where I was and pressed his forehead against mine.

"Mila, I'm so sorry," he wrapped his arms around me, "I just...felt a feeling."

"What was that?" I was curious as to what it was, I mean, he can't really feel, he's a demon.

"I was worried about you, allowing me to be weak." He sighed, "Allowing him to take control and say those things!"

I gasped, anger clouded my eyes and pushed him off. I turned away opening the car door and got in.

Without waiting for Dark and getting food, I turned on the car and started driving towards my apartment. On the way I turned on the music. Music really helps avoiding my problems.

Sadly, they would've punished me. They wouldn't have believed me... Telling me that I'm a failure.

I will never forget them, no matter how much I want to. They... were... my...

"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!" A man in a truck yelled as he honked the truck.

Realization hit me as I swerve out of the big truck's way, skimming the rear of my car on the front of the person's car. The impact set my car flying off the edge of the railings on the side of the road. My car kept on rolling down, down a hill as I lay there as my head is reeling but my body is feeling sluggish. This is happening, I'm actually in a car accident. Everything is happening so slow, but I react every time when the hood of my car touches the ground so hard and quick.

"HELP PLEASE, ANYONE!!!" I silently screamed everything hurts...

It stopped...

My heart pounding as I slowly fade away

The pain stopped...

I feel numb, the glass impaled my skin leaving nothing but mental scars that can't heal.

I stopped...

I close my eyes as my heart beats the last time.

I never have met the man who saved me from them, giving me a ride towards freedom.
