I slowly peek around the corner glimpsing at him trying to breath as slow as possible. Slowly walking towards me, a dark figure, a long black coat , black sweatpants and black shoes. And in his hand and long shiny blade. A knife.
I slowly walk backwards and turn around. Passing an alleyway, a hand grabbed me pulling me backwards holding my mouth stopping me from making any sound. "Shhhhh" he whispered into my ear, slowly releasing his hand away from my mouth. I quickly turned around bashing him up against the wall and holding my arm across his neck knocking over garbage cans, I took off his cap that was covering his face. To my surprise it was Dane, my eyes watering and my body flushing with relief, I stared into his eyes and saw the fear he was in. There was no more time to stop and chat so I threw a rock down the street hoping it would distract that mysterious man to think we were further down. I grabbed Danes hand and pulled him along with me, running for my life trying not to stumble from my legs shaking. We finally got far enough to catch our breath.
"Dane!?" I questioned.
"It'll be okay, he will stop, I know he will" he was saying promisingly.
"Who is that man Dane!? Why does he have a knife? Why is he doing this?" I kept questioning.
"I can't tell you anything until we are safe Skye." He deepened his voice.
