Run

Run run run

That was the only thing that was going through my mind. Run

They found me and the only choice I had was to run. I can't go back. I don't wanna live that life. Not again. I was out of breath but that didn't stop me. I was crying, scared that this night would be my last. That I wouldn't wake up the next day.

I had blood falling down my arms. Scratches all over my legs plus bruises. My back was tore up with deep cuts. Not the small accidental cuts. The *I tried to kill you* cuts. I was a bloody mess. This is what I was trying to avoid. Getting hurt. I winced at the stinging impact of my feet pounding against the hard, solid concrete as I went from a run to a sprint.

The steps were getting louder and faster behind me.

I wish someone would come and save me like how it always is in the movies.

???: You can't run from us little Y/n

He's right. I've been running all my life but I realized now that it was useless.

???: Why don't you just give up. You hid from us plenty of times and everytime you did we found you.

They started laughing and I cried harder.

It was dark and I could barely see. I basically ran wherever my mind told me. I ran into a dark alley. I was always scared of the dark since I was little.

But I didn't let that stop me. Not this time. I have to face my fears to get me out of this tragedy.

I ran through the alley as fast as I could. I tripped over a few things but got up everytime. When I was out of the alley I stopped.

There was a park. I was breathing heavily, thinking if I should run into the park or not. My conscience told me to run into the park and I'm glad it did. Fate was finally on my side.

I ran not looking back. The park was empty. I didn't hear anyone behind me so I looked back and as soon as I did I hit something. Or should I say someone.

Oh my gosh. They caught me. I'm dead. This is the end for me.

I started to panic thinking that it was one of the men who were chasing me. I was so tired of running. I couldn't do anymore. I gave up.

I was about to fall on the ground but he caught me and held me tightly. It was a protective hold. I was shocked at first because I've never been held like this before. But that didn't matter right now. I have to prepare to die.

I started breathing really hard. My heart started pounding so loud and fast that probably the whole city could hear. I looked around but couldn't see anything because black dots invading vision.

"Save me" I didn't care who I was talking to. I just wanted to be saved.

He cupped my face with his hands, making me look at him. I wish I could see him right now but I couldn't. I started to cry again.

???: Hey are you okay. Why are you running? You're covered in blood! What happened?!

His voice was soft and sweet. I put my hand on his shoulder and grabbed onto his shirt.

"They're coming after me"

???: Who?
He asked with worry flooding his tone.

I tried to talk but I became weaker. I felt like my whole life was crashing down.

"I I I" I stuttered.

???: You what. Can you hear me?

"....I'm tired"
