They

Chapter 13

February 26th, 4343,

I swear I saw someone else running. I think they were going in the opposite direction. Why would someone run back to there? It doesn't make sense. Maybe there was no one. But why would I see them in my flashback and not in real life? I don't recall ever seeing them. How did I miss them if they were really there? Maybe there is a way I could control my flashbacks. I don't know if it's possible but maybe I could go back to that specific time. I wish I had ways to search about this. I can't search online or anything publicly. If They find me, it's over.

Gasping for breath, I looked around. I don't think I made it that far. Guess I'm a little out of shape. They'll bee here soon if I don't leave. Okay plan time. First, stand up and survey the area. Wait, I see someone. Do I go over to them? He could help me. Although he seems to be lost. I can tell he's not part of They. Okay then, I'm going over. He doesn't see me yet. Should I say something? Yes, yes I should.

"Hey!" I say loud enough for him to hear.

He jumps and snaps his attention towards me.

"W-who are you?" His voice shakes.

"Umm, more like who are you? And don't even use the excuse 'I asked you first'."

"My name's Braden. W-what's your name? And why are you out here?" He asks nervously.

"Well, my name's Alice. And to be honest, I'm not exactly sure why I ended up here. So why are you here?"

Well I know why I'm running but now I'm not really sure why I chose here.

"I don't know why I'm here either. I'm sorta on the run. I just ended up here."

He looks frantic. As if he's not supposed to have ended up running.

"So, you're running too? Why are you running? Are you diseased?"

"Umm, no. Not exactly. It's hard to explain. I don't really know if I can trust you. You could be one of They. And also seeing as we're both on the run, I don't have time."

Okay seriously, if I was part of They, I would at least have a weapon.

"I'm not one of They. And if you aren't diseased then I'm guessing you're immune?"

"W-wait, how do you know about immunes? Only They and immunes know about them."

"Well, maybe I'm immune too." I say as if it's obvious.

"But that's not possible. I thought I was the only one left."

"I did too. But I guess I'm not. Maybe if there's two of us, there could be more. It's just a-" A shout in the distance interrupts my sentence.

A/N: Ooh cliffhanger!!! XD you all probably hate me now.
