Dawns P.O.V
woke up in something foul smelling. it was dark, but light. suddenly the nigh flooded back to me. i jumped up and banged my head on th roof of the dumpster.
"stupid. stupid. stupid." i muttered to myself as i found the lock and unlocked it.
swung the lid open cautiouly, petrified. i looked around, it was mornning, there was nothing there.
"oh, jesus christ." i trembled as i ran, ran straight from this hell.
had just reached the entrance when i ran straight into something. something very big and something very intimidating. it was a man. he was about six foot three, had black wild, messy hair, green bright eyes, tanned skin and he was very muscular.
eyes were giant. "hey, ya laright kid?" he asked.
shook my head
"should u be out - ya know after all thats happened with those girl?" he asked frowning.
shook my head. "i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-" i couldn't get a word out i was so badly sufffering from shock.
placed a hand on either of my shoulders "whats wrong?" he demanded.
"t-th-th-ther-there" i gave up and just pointed into the alleyway.
walked in, looking foucused and not wanting to be on my own i ran up and walked beside him, shaking and shivering.
turned to me suddenly "you have to tell me what it was." he said sternly, but gently.
"i-it w-was" i paused and took a deep breath. "it was that animal - that thing in the newspaper."
green eyes looked deep into mine.
"that thing that killed the three girls?" i nodded.
"how did you survive?" he asked curiously.
"i bashed it on the head with a bin lid and jumped inside the dumpster to hide." i said a weak smile touching my lips.
looked away but just before he did i saw a very strange expression cross his face.
followed him as he looked around in the shadows. at first we found nothing and he turned to me and said:
"your sure it was the thing from the newspappers?" i nodded, he obviously didn't belive me.
looked around and suddenly saw something - "there look!"
turned and looked at what i was pointing at.
was a bin lid, lying on the floor. it had dried blood on the side of it and the same side seemed to have gotton crushed when it had hit the beast. he picked it up and stared at it funny. he mummbled something.
"what?" she said not understanding a word.
looked up and his eyes were feverishly bright. he dropped the bin lid.
"nothing." he shook himself. "i think we should maybe get outa here before it comes back for seconds." i nodded.
started to walk out but i tripped and almost fell, if it weren't for him catching me. he strightened me but i was trembling so hard, it was hard to walk. sighing softly, he sung me up into his arms. i gasped in shock. he was so strong. he could easily kill me... the thought came unwanted, i was parinoid. even though his arms felt strong - they didn't make me feel safe... in fact they made me feel in danger. where my skin touched his i felt little electic sparks running through me.
"you musta hit that thing pretty hard." he mused.
"yea, i guess i did. i was kinda terrified." i said shakily.
"yea, i could tell." he said softly.
"my names Benjamin." he said.
"i-i'm dawn." i said.
"what a terrible way to meet" he said smiling, trying to brighten the mood.
"i agree." i said weakly.
"well, you can tell me where your house is and i'll drive you there. then we can call the police." he said.
rubbed a hand over my eyes. "ok."
"maybe you should get some sleep first though." he said hesitantly.
"no, this thing needs to be stopped, otherwise - who knows how many more people, girls most-likely - will be killed. just cause i was to tired to go talk to some police."
nodded at my speech. "so where from here.?" he asked.
stared at him horrified after surveying the street we were on. "oh my god... i have no idea."
