I don't know why I ran off. "Why didn't I just except my fate?" I ask myself, "Are they looking for me?" Probably not. Besides Lily and a few other people here and there, I really don't have any friends.
I wander around until it gets dark out. I could always go back. No, I can't. Suddenly I hear voices, two boys and a girl. They don't sound much older than I. Being the person I am my first instinct is to run, but honestly I've been running nonstop for what feels like forever. So I hide, which I'm not very good at.
I hear twig snap and I look at the ground. I just stepped on a twig and now they really are going to find me, no doubt about it. "Hello?!" One of the boys call.
"I thinks it's coming from over there!" The girl responds. Crap, now I really have no chance of surviving.
But I didn't notice how close they really where. I turn around and sure enough, they're right there. I don't know who scared who more, me or them. "Oh my god you scared the living crap out of us." The girl says, "I'm Anastasia, or simply just Ana." She flipped her long blond hair over her shoulder.
She looks at the taller of the two boys with her deep blue eyes. He sighs, "I'm Gavin." He blows some of his hair out of his face. Ana and Gavin both stare at the other boy, his hair was dark brown and sorta wavy, his eyes blueish-green. Yes I find him attractive, no I won't tell him that.
"Ze," he finally says, "you?"
"I'm Anthony." I say. Why am I so freaking awkward?
"Why are out here all alone?" Ana asks me. The smile fades from her face.
"Are you a spy?" Gavin questions, his brown eyes wide. Ana punches Gavin in the arm. "What was that for?!"
"Don't be rude!" She tells him, "Let him answer my question!"
"Um, no, I'm not a spy, and I'm out here because I ran away." I answer, my voice shakes.
"Ran away from what?" Ze asks, he doesn't ever bother to look at me.
I sigh, "My brother Aaron just committed suicide, I was about to be placed in an orphanage or foster home, but instead I ran." I hope they believe me, because I can't come up with a good lie to save myself.
Ze looks at Gavin and Ana, "I'm not sure if I believe him." Ugh, this guy is really being a jerk.
"Well if you don't believe him then we'll just take him with us!" Gavin suggests.
"I don't take hostages." Ze points out. My hands curl into fist, I'm not going to punch him though. If I start a fight I will lose.
"Ze we're not gonna kill him!" Gavin snaps. Ze rolls his eyes, he obviously doesn't like me.
"Come on Ze," Ana says, she walks over to him, her voice now a whisper, "If he really is untrustworthy, then we can kill him."
Ze nods. "Ok," he sighs, "Come on Anthony." He signals me to follow, and I do.
I just escaped a nightmare. But who knows, this place could be ten times worse.
