The Cannibals

Chapter 2

(Megan's POV)

We sprint for what seems like a lifetime, and my lungs are ready to fall out.  I should really quit smoking.  I slow my pace down, and start coughing.

"Wait, wait" I say grabbing Danny's hand and he stops running. "Look we should try and talk to them."

"That's a stupid idea, they tried to kill us with their car a few minutes ago!" Danny says to me.

"Well I'm going to stay here and try," I say being stubborn. Then a man walks around the corner and towards me. My heart rate quickens, but I'm trying not to show I'm scared.

"Fuck that," Danny says and sprints away from us.

"Oh god," I mutter under my breath, and try to compose my self. "Can we talk about this?" I ask and he keeps walking towards me.  "Stop, stay there!" I yell and it's like he can't hear me, or he just doesn't want to. Every step he takes towards me, I take two back.  "Look I'm sorry for whatever we did to you that made you guys angry," I say trying to be sympathetic, but I honestly have no idea what we did.  At this point he is a couple inches away from me, and I feel my body tense up.  I can feel his breath, and my jaw clenches.  I can see what he looks like now, he has black hair that sticks up at the front and is wearing a leather jacket.  I start to back away from him, but he rips me to the ground by grabbing my hair.  He starts to drag me away, and I scream as loud as I could.  

"Megan!" I hear Danny yell, but I could tell he was far away.  Then I see him running back to me, the man dragging me drops me to the ground.  I crawl as fast as I could away and stand up.  "Run," Danny tells me.  I just start sprinting, then I gaze back to see Danny being thrown into the wall and he lands hard on the ground.  The man starts to kick him over and over again. 

"Danny! No!" I scream, my entire body is shaking.  I have no idea what to do.  The man looks over smirking and goes back to kicking Danny until he is coughing up blood.  Another man who is smoking a cigarette comes over from around a corner and watches.  He puts his hand on the guy kicking Danny's chest, and leans down to talk to Danny. 

"Where are your friends?" The man asks.

"What?" Danny seethes through his teeth then spits blood onto the ground next to him.  

"Where are they?" He asks more angrily.

"Fuck you," Danny says and spits in his face.  The man wipes his face and stands up, then pulls out his gun and shoots Danny.

"NO!" I scream, I couldn't stop it from coming out.  My chest felt like it was collapsing. I had never felt pain like this in my life.  I sprint away from the men, who are staring me down.

"Get her," the man who killed Danny says to the other man and starts to walk away. I don't know what they want, but I don't want to find out.  I look around and all I see are buildings with boarded up windows and busted in doors, It wasn't a nice part of the city.  While running down an alley way I try to open the windows and doors by hitting them as hard as I can.  I reach the end of the alley and look around.  There is a door that is cracked slightly open, so I ram my body into it a couple times and it starts to open more.  I look at the entrance to the alley and see the man walking towards me.  My heart is thumping out of my chest, while flaming hot tears stream down my face.  I can't stop replaying in my mind what just happened to Danny.  I slam into the door as hard as I can and the gap becomes slightly wide enough for me to fit through.  Hearing his foot steps quickening to a run, I slide  through just in time.  I slam the door shut and hit him, and I jump behind a shelving unit.  The door swings open ridiculously fast and aggressively.

"I'm going to find you bitch!" He yells and hits something hard.  I jump slightly and cover my mouth to make sure he won't hear me.  I listen and hear his footsteps go over to the other side of the room, then take off running through some rooms to a different part of the building.  I stop in a room full of work lockers, they didn't quite look like the ones in high schools, but they were still lockers.  I slide into one and see him through the cracks burst into the room.  I have to hold my self still to stop from shaking too much.  He swings open a couple of the lockers across from me, then he stops and stands in the middle of the room.  While taking a deep breath through his nose he says, "I can smell your perfume."  He turns to face where I am, and I start to think I am going to die.  He smashes open the locker next to mine, and I almost scream.  He kicks and hits the locker, then walks out of the room and I hear the door open and close.

I hesitantly open the locker and step out, when walking to the door I abruptly stop when another guy dressed like the others jumps out. "Wait, wait, wait, please don't hurt me. Please," I beg him.  He grabs a hand full of my hair and throws me to the ground.  My vision starts to get foggy then everything goes black.
