Inside the Mirror

Ch.9~ Escape

Solcia POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt something hit hard against my back. I woke up franticly and saw it was still night. I also saw somebody I have never seen before, standing beside me, with a belt in his hands.

I may have just woken up, but I wasn't groggy. I jumped out of bed, which caught the guy by surprise. He tried swinging the belt, but missed. I ran out of the room while he was swinging. He realized what I was doing and ran after me.

I ran down the stairs and went to run out the front door. I noticed that the window in the kitchen was broken. That must've been the way he came in. I opened the front door and ran. I don't know where I was running, and I couldn't think of a place to run. I followed were my gut felt like I should run.

The guy chasing me runs fast, but I run faster. I loved to run, so it would take me a while to get out of breath. The guy chasing me though, looked like he couldn't run as far as me without getting out of breath. I deepened my breaths and kept running. When you deepen your breaths, you can run farther with less effort. I am so happy for that random google search.

Before I knew it, I was in the forest. I still don't know where I am going, just that I feel a pull towards where to go. I started focusing on the path my feet where taking me. I jumped over multiple tree root. When the forest didn't have as much roots, I looked behind me. He was still hot on my trail. I guess it was easy to follow somebody when they were in front of you and jumped over every tree root. Then you wouldn't have to look out for the tree roots as much. I looked around at the green blur passing me. I could still make out what was what, but I wasn't focused on that. I kept running. The guy behind me was getting tired.

I think I will soon out run him. He has slowed down, but I'm still running at the same pace. He was at a distance were if I fell I could get up and still be fine. I took more deep breaths. We have been running for about 15 minutes. I could feel the burning sensation that I love in my muscles. All of a sudden, I saw something black fly across me and I ended up falling. I felt the material on my leg when I fell and realized it was the belt he had earlier. I quickly got back up and resumed my pace. He was a few feet closer, but I was still ahead by a good amount. I looked back again. I saw the belt still on the floor behind him. He didn't stop to pick it up.

We have now been running for about 20 minutes, but I kept running as if my life depended on it. I still don't know where I'm going. I don't recognize this place, but I feel like I'm heading to safety. I soon ran out of the forest, behind a house. It looked like a mansion. I ran towards the front. It would be rude to come in through the back. The guy behind me has gained 2 more feet towards me.

I was now alongside the house. I hope the door is unlocked, because I would not like to go up opening the door to find it locked. I would be trapped if it was. I'm almost at the door, and I don't care if it's rude, but I need to get in. I swing open the door. It was open! Yes! I ran in and saw a group of people. They were all sitting on couches. I ran to the wall in the far end of the room. I didn't even look at the people. I stopped when I reached the wall.

I turned around and faced them. I then screamed "Stop him!" Some person stuck out his foot, causing him to fall. I took in my surroundings. The house was beautiful inside as well. I looked at the person who tripped him, now dragging him out with another guy that had brown hair. It was Victor who tripped him. I looked around and saw Hannah who had an empty space next to her. I'm guessing that was were Victor was sitting. I looked to my left and the closest couch to me had a beautiful lady with caramel hair. Then again, everybody here was beautiful, they were vampires. She had an empty spot next to her, and I'm guessing that is were her husband was sitting. I think she is their mom that Mason told me about- Alicia I think her name was. And that person helping Victor drag the person was Jamel, the leader of the coven/family and her husband. I looked on the couch next to her, still on my left, but farther away, and Mason was sitting there. Victor and Jamel then came in.

"We scared him so good! He shouldn't come back again." Victor said. Jamel rolled his eyes at that. I wasn't sure what to say or do. I just ran into their house like a crazy person. I looked at the time and saw it was 1:20. I finally thought of something to say.

"Thanks. Sorry for running into your house like a lunatic." Mason chuckled a little when I said that. Alicia then responded.

"It's ok. Do you know who that person was?"

"Not at all."

"You must have been running a while, let me get you some water. Make yourself at home and have a seat."

"Thanks." I went and sat on the vacant couch that was in front of the table that was in front of me. I could then look at everybody when I talked. Alicia then came in with a bottle of water. I ended up drinking the whole bottle.

"Do you want another bottle of water?"

"No thank you, I'm good."

"How long have you been running away from that person?" Alicia -I should probably call her Mrs. Anthony- said.
