A Strange But Familiar World

Prologue - I guess it's death

I was walking alone through an alleyway- I know, a stupid thing to do, but I didn't have a choice at that point. I had run out of my house the second I'd come home. This was because my parents fighting. Not physically but verbally, though it still scared me for some reason. I'd noticed they'd been bitter towards each other recently but they'd never actually fought before. That's why I ran when I saw them fighting, I was scared.

That's why I was now walking to nowhere in particular through a dark alleyway.

Suddenly, there was a tap on my shoulder. I jumped and spun round to come face to face with a thuggish looking man along with some other thugs- seemingly his friends.

"What's a pretty little girl like you doin' in a place like this?" The man asked creepily, with a just as creepy smile. I shuddered. I just wanted to go home. Home, to my parents getting along and having just finished preparing a nice cooked dinner. Waiting for me.

"I-I'm just p-passing through s-so if y-you'll just l-let me g-go..." I stuttered, starting to get scared by them. The mans smile grew bigger and I got even more scared than I already was. I didn't have my phone on me as I'd just dropped everything and run out the door, what was I going to do?! "Why don't you come back to my place little girl? You look lonely, I could keep you company..." he said and I gulped. I really didn't like where this was going.

"N-no thanks! I-I'm good." I responded. This was bad. What was I meant to do? I was in a dark alleyway, alone, with a bunch of thugs that could probably kill me if they wanted to! What the hell had I gotten myself into?! "I wasn't giving you an option." The man's creepy smile immediately disappeared, replaced with a cold glare. I shuddered again and looked around for a way out of this.

I turned the way I was originally going and bolted. I had no idea where I was or where I was going, all I knew was that I needed to get out of there as soon as possible. The thugs ran after me and started yelling things like "Hey! Get back here ya lil' b*tch!" and "You're gonna regret this!"

A cold sweat ran down my forehead. How could this day get any worse?!?! I'd obviously jinxed it as I immediately ran straight into a wall. This alleyway was a dead end. Great. I turned around and nearly screamed when I saw the thugs behind me, with knives now.

"You're going to regret doing a runner little girl. I don't like misbehaving children. You should've just come along, everything woulda been so much easier. Well too late now, time to die, b*tch!" Death. I'd never really thought about it before, but there were two sides to my thought process on it in that moment.

On one hand, if I died, I wouldn't have to deal with the pain of everyday life, my parents, my 'friends' not that they were ever much of that... but, on the other hand, I had so much to live for! I was only y/a (your age). Whilst I was contemplating it, I felt a searing pain through my chest.

It was too late. If I wanted to live, any chance of that was gone. I was about to die. Well, at least I can rest in peace now, I guess. Peace... that sounded so nice right now...
