     A thousand ideas filled my head, as they dragged me along the never ending empty dark hallway. What are they going to do to me!? My arm began to throb in his strong grasp, as we finally turned a corner.

"Open the door Lance." He ordered the friend who had been stalking me most of the day. He walked ahead, and opened the door to an empty room. 

     More panic surged through me, as he pulled me along, closer to the vacant room. Link would be so disappointed in me if I let them lock me in this room alone with them, to do what ever they wished to me. I must fight! I encouraged myself, feeling my fear turn into a fierce determination.

"I'm not going in there!" I screamed, trying to squeeze my hand free from his grip.

"Keep it down!" He hissed back, tugging my arm, bringing me forcefully to his side.

"I won't!" I yelled again, shoving the heel of my boot into the instep of his foot.

     He wailed in pain, letting go of me. I used this chance to escape, and bolted away from the two of them, my heart beating so fast in my chest. It felt as though I were having a heart attack. I shocked myself at how incredibly fast I was running, and without much need of breath. Adrenaline really is a life saver! I thought, in all thanks to my body.

     "Don't let her get away!" I heard Richard scream to his friend. I turned back to see Lance catching up fast behind me. My body started to tremble, as I began tumbling over my skirt. I kept having to pull the bottom of it from under my feet over and over again. He's gonna reach me! I thought frantically, my eyes not focused onto where I was going. After I heard the loud slam of my face smacking into the wall, everything span a moment before I gave way and lost consciousness.

     I heard faint whispers at my side, as I began to stir awake. The movements of my body shot pain all throughout my head, as I moaned from the intensity of it. The ringing in my ears began to subside, as the quiet voices became a little clearer.

"She was acting so wild! I only wanted to speak with her in private. She acted as though I was going to assault her or something." What?

"Thank goodness you guys are roommates. She hit her head pretty bad. We probably shouldn't have come across so aggressive..." What are they talking about?

"I guess you're right... She just gets on my nerves. We should probably get a new cold ice pack for her head though."

     My eyes began to flutter open, as I cringed from the sudden brightness hitting my eyes.

"Where- Where am I? Why does my head hurt?" I asked aloud, trying to position myself to sit up, still unable to see properly through my eyes. I turned my head to the sound of footsteps nearing where I lay.

"You're in your bed in your dorm room. You ran into a wall and pretty much knocked yourself out." I rubbed at my eyes, not recognizing the man's voice.

"How more clumsy could I be? I ran into a wall?" I laughed, still a bit out of it. Then it hit me like a rock.

"Why were you trying to shove me in some dark room you freak!?" I shouted at Lance who sat by my bed side, as I readied my hand to slap him across the cheek.
