A Hunter's Nightmare

How Wonderful life was

My life was perfect before I turned 20, I was young, I had friends, family, education (even though everyone hates school/college I miss it) But before I ramble on about my life my name is Alex and my life changed the week after I met Tom. So who is Tom you ask, Tom was a boy I met online, well a online dating site. I know it's frowned upon by well anyone to meet someone online but this is the 21st century, and I don't like the idea of meeting guys in bars or clubs and the fact pretty much any guy that lives close to me is a chav or thinks they are 'gangster'. I was a simple girl before things happened, I liked watching marvel films, reading fan-fiction, seeing my friends and discussing where or not to go to comic con and who to dress as, but all of that is over now, now I am running away from everything, I really miss my old life, but everyone thinks I'm dead, I need them to think that well all but one. My best friend Mia, only she knows the truth, and she is protecting anyone from finding it out.

31st of January, the day I met Tom for the first time, it was a wonderful day, we went around London, went to the arcade, a few shops and got dinner on Baker street before heading home. It was a truly wonderful day, I thought my life would change now that he was apart of it, and it did, just not the way I hoped. I was 18 he was 24, I normally don't go for people 6 years older than me but he seemed so nice and he didn't acted his age (in a good way). But that day we met we really hit it off and was due to meet a week later. Which was my big mistake.

I should have realized that people around me, people I never seen before, where acting strange around me, but the thing is I had seen them before. On Tom's Facebook, but only briefly, you know as you do when you look through some ones Facebook images, you don't really take in the other people in the pictures, but you should, and if I ever get another chance, I will be doing that. A couple days before I was meant to be meeting Tom for the second time some one came up to me, acting all crazy about how I should turn back now, before it's too late, little did I know that they knew what was about to happen.

It was cold and dark that day, my parents weren't home, and I didn't hear from anyone my friends, apart from one Tom. He text me at 6pm asking to see if I was still meeting him the next day. Of course I replied confirming, But then his reply was strange, he said that he would come and pick me up from my house. It might not sounds strange to you but since he lives quite far away from me, at least 2 hours on the train, but that's not the only strange part, the strange part was the fact he didn't even ask for my address, and the next day well you could probably guess that he made it to my house.

For the rest of the night I spent texting Mia and occasionally Tom, I was expressing how I felt about Tom to Mia when she started to tell me that I needed to becareful, and that she worries about me, obviously I told her that she didn't need to worry about me and that i'll keep her updated through the day and take a old nokia phone with me incase something happens and I can't use my I-phone to call anyone for some reason. By the time it got 11pm both Mia and Tom had Said goodnight, so I decided that I myself should call it a night.
