Short stories.

Running

 'Just keep running. Don't look back.' She thought racing down the erie empty streets of the city, 

 "Darling~ Come back,"

'No' she thought, she hid behind one of the makeshift cardboard houses that were made by the poor, she was silent as she saw him pass by.

"Darling? Where did you go? Come on, I do enjoy these games of hiding and seek, but I do believe it is time to come out." He said, walking around. She held her breath, Standing still as stone, not daring to move or take her eyes off of him. When she saw him disappear into one of the other alleys, she let out her breath only to hear his voice behind her,
"Found you~" She turned around only for him to grab her hands so she couldn't move.
 "Now that I've caught you will you be mine?" She shook her head no, several times, he seemed displeased with that answer,
 "Well, doesn't matter, you have nowhere to go and don't have any magic left, so I guess you're coming with me." he smiled, her eyes widened in fear, only one thought entered her mind,

'How did this happen?'

"and this is Kaitou Kazuto,"

"Hello, you can call me Kazuto."

"Wonderful to meet you, I'm Damon. Damon Casey."

"Nice to meet you, Casey"

"Please call me Damon."

'Yeah I remember now, I met him a few weeks ago, He was new was the guy at work. He was kind at first, however, he kept calling me by my first name, but people usually call people by their last names, unless they are close. I kinda got used to it but then...'

"Hi, Kaitou,"

"Damon?"

"The one and only!"

"How did you find my place?"

"You told me remember?"

"No,"

"Oh well you did, May I come in?"

"Um, I'm actually going somewhere," 

"Can I come with you?"

"Um, no actually, sorry."

"Ah, no problem."

'He also started showing up at my friends' workplace and followed me to my brother's work. He even introduced himself to my brother like they were old friends, calling him by his first name. It raised a lot of strange suspicions, so I stopped talking to him, for a few days he'd still try and talk to me, but I ignored him. He stopped trying to talk to me so I thought it was normal again until 2 nights ago when My brother and a couple of friends were over at my place.'

*Doorbell*

"I'll get it!" 

"Hey, what's up?"

"Who are you?"

"Who is it, Leo?"

"Ah, nice to see you, Kai,"

"Damon?"

"You know him, sis?"

"Yeah, we talk sometimes, but what are you doing here?"

"Just wanted to talk to you about something in private."

"Sorry, I have people over, maybe another time,"

"Why can't I talk to you now?"

"I don't see them that often, sorry,"

"that's not true, you see your friends every day, heck you work with them. And you always visit your brother during his lunchtimes at the park."

'This raised more flags, we haven't talked in weeks, and I changed my daily schedule, my work department, and location when I broke communications.'

"Sorry, but I want to hang out with them a little longer,"

"*Sigh* Fine. See you later Darling~" 

'I went inside after I was sure he left the property and sat down with the others. My brother asked who he was, and I explained what I knew. They agreed that he was suspicious and told me to be careful, and my brother agreed to stay with me until I could move. I was grateful for that. But tonight, I didn't think he'd make it this far,'

"I'm Home Bro-Bro!"

'I thought it was strange because the house was silent and all the lights were off usually, Leo was either watching tv or sitting on the couch talking to one of his friends on the phone.' 

"Leo?"

'Then walked around and turned on the lights when I heard the sounds of something break upstairs. I dashed to the noise that came from my brother's room. I open to see my brother on the ground covered in bruises with a figure standing in front of him,'

"Kai get out of here!" 

'The figure then turned to me and I saw something glisten in his hands, My eyes widened, it looked to be a switchblade. It wasn't until he smiled as he turned to me, that I saw my brother's leg was broken and the man had splashes of blood on his clothing.

"Welcome Home... Darling~"

'That's right, I ran out of the house and called the police that I was being chased and my bother was covered in blood in my place, I also gave them Skylar and Kodiak's location for them to check on them.' 

"So darling~ let's go home?"

'I shook my head no, but he just smiled and chuckled,'

"Oh well," 

'he put something over my mouth, and I start to lose consciousness.'

"Sleep well, my love."
