Okay

There's no such thing as family. That's final.

      I run fast then i thought would have been possible, and i can faintly hear him yelling for me to come back. He begins to run after me. I hear him say "I didn't get this far to let you go you bitch!" i don't respond i only focus on getting as far from him as possible. Despite my new found speed he closes in on me quickly. Damn him for staying in shape. I weave in and out of various dark, creepy allies. With ominous shadowy buildings rising up and cutting me off in the form of dead ends. I can't keep this up forever, but neither can he, so i hope to myself that i don't tire out first.

  I run farther down yet another shadow covered ally, then realize as it's too late that it's a dead end with no other way out other than the way i came. My shoulder throbs to the beat of my racing heart. 

I'm stuck and I know it, there's nowhere to go other than the way I came and that's not an option. He is standing in the only way out, and I don't know if I can fight him off. I decide to do the only logical thing. Freeze. It's probably not the best thing to do but i froze in fear of what was to come. This surprises me that it takes this much to break my numbness to the world, but for how long. How long will this little burst of emotion last before i go back to the bittersweet numbness that surrounds my entire being. Do I even want to feel emotions. In a way it's nice not to feel the pain so deeply rooted inside me, but at what cost. 

   I watch as he closes in on me with that smile of victory on his lips. I know what he's thinking, it's not hard to guess. I hold my throbbing shoulder and wait for him to make a move. The hand with the gun twitches at his side like he wants to raise it to my level. Go ahead shoot me you'd only be doing me a favor; i think to myself. Sadly the hand remains at his side. " You're coming with me." he snarls at me, now standing only inches from me. I make no effort to get away this time, it's futile to run since i dont think ill stay dead and he'll catch me anyway. I stand as still as humanly possible. I feel his hot breathe against my face as he looks down at me. Suddenly he thrusts me  around by my hurt arm, it takes much effort to not groan in pain. He then proceeds to tie my hands behind my back.   

   " What are you doing?" i ask shocked at first, trying to reorient myself. 

" I'm not letting you get away, I've come too far to let you escape now. I will not be fooled again!" I've managed to piss him off again, but now I can't get away from his anger. Maybe i'll get lucky and he'll figure out how to kill me effectively. Though i doubt he will; he is pretty adamant about keeping me around.  

   He pushes me forward towards the entrance of the shadowy alley. He has no regard for my pain as long as i'm alive he doesn't care what happens to me. We take a long walk back to where he parked the car in front of the old warehouse building. There is cloth covering all of the windows, whatever is in there they don't want outsiders to see. Well isn't that just great, i know that's the building he's going to force me into. I never used to be involved in shady stuff like this, but that was when i was little and didn't understand what was going on, that was also when my brother was still alive. There is no such thing as a family, that's final.
