With each step I took, the rain became heavier and the lightning became more visible to me. My overstuffed bag and the pouring rain were beginning to weigh me down. I could have crashed at any moment, but I couldn't, I had to take shelter.
"Hey!" I turned around when I heard someone call out from behind me, and I quickly regretted it. The man at the shelter who took advantage of me when I was knocked out on some kind of pill was walking suspiciously behind me. I decided to run as fast as my legs would allow, but he was still close behind.
"NORMANI!" He yelled again, and I began to panic, tears streaming down my face. This man was really fast. I decided to duck at the house ahead; after a while, he returned down the road, and I decided to spend the night here because I was under some kind of roof. I'll resume my journey in the morning, but I'm tired right now.

Since it was gloomy outside and a tree branch blocked the road, I decided to call in to work for the next few days. I needed a break anyway, and the weather was perfect for me to watch movies and drink hot cocoa. Stepping outside to smell the fresh wind, I spotted a small body under my shed sound asleep, she looked to be shivering and muddy, maybe I should help her.
"Hey" I said tapping the brown girl, she immediately shot up and I scooted back instantly, she turned to face me then looked back at the house and her face softened.
"I-I'm sorry if I was trespassing I'll go" She said, quickly gathering her bags, but I grabbed her and took in her appearance. She was dirty, and severely bruised, her shirt was torn up and she had holes in her shoes. "You look hurt. Where are you coming from?" I asked her.
