Swift Of The Darkness.

Darkness, most welcomed it with open arms greeting it as if it was a dear old friend while others were afraid of being consumed into it; of what had been hidden in the shadows. Sliding into the next alleyway, his shoes clattering loudly against the cold, hard concrete floor. Footsteps paced right behind him, quickly he jumped over a bin and made his way up the barbed wire fence, both hands and feet working at the same fast pace, shifting his weight from one side to the other.

Scrambling over the fence, he pushed himself onto the cobblestone concrete floor; racing against time, time to find a safe place to hide, find shelter, and warmth. His heartbeat had been accelerating with each step he took, his legs wanted to give in, his body wanted to give up, his lungs were in an unbearable amount of pain; struggling to breathe with no other options but to push himself even further until he was safe. But nowhere was really safe.

All eyes were on the lookout for him, ears listening to the false news spread about him, people who once knew him now turned their backs on him, closing doors and hiding in fear from him; fear that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Facts had been twisted around, the truth had been hidden from the people of the world for way too long, and while he was trying to bring change but instead he was the one being hunted down like a terrorist, constantly on the run.

Shots were fired on the wall beside him breaking him free from his thoughts, his body pushed him forward, urging him to run but he didn't have the energy or determination to run anymore. With a gasp he stumbled forward he fell onto the now blood-red colored ground, glancing down towards his newly soaked shirt was a twinkling bullet winking at him through the cold and foggy winter night.

Time seemed to slow down, walls were closing in on him and so he had no other choice but to give in.

And he did.

A/N= Shoutout to one of my friends (sundae) who's probably not on Wattpad any longer.

The title was her idea and thanks to all my friends who gave me some title options.

Thanks for the title options, loved it tbh but I honestly didn't know what to go with so I might change the title later onwards. 

I originally was gonna submit this story for a writing opportunity/ contest but I am no longer the age it was maximized to.

Love Kashu11.
