The Red Light

Turn

Back in London
I looked behind me one last time and sighed in sadness . I took the last step inside the boundary's of my house and ran . I felt my feet pound against the concrete , and my heavy bag bounce lightly against my back . I didn't know were I was going and yet the direction I was running felt so natural . I ran through the streets of London avoiding eye contact with the passers by . I looked at the Cafe were I had first spoken my best friend . We of course had seen each other in school but I first made any contact with Riley Carmelo there .We had bumped into each other and I had coffee splattered all over my top . I looked back and wandered what he would do if I told him about this .And with that I ran off to find his house , in the winding streets . I reached the small house and my heart was was beating against my lungs. I pounded my fist against the wooden door , desperately , not wanting anyone to see me . The door swung open and I was greeted by the warm familiar smile I had known for eight years . He wore a slogan t-shirt and denim jeans .I looked at him with a grim expression .
"Are you okay Danni." He asked saying my nickname .
"No." I said and collapsed in his arms sobs wracking my body .He held me tight and led me into his house . He lived alone as his parents died in a horrific car accident . He sat us down on his soft grey sofa .
"Explain to me what's happened ." He said and wiped a tear that was rolling down my face , like a raindrop on a leaf .
"M-my parents they they lied to me ." I stammered. Riley looked at me in bewilderment.
"What do you mean ,they lied?" He questioned , his voice anxious.
"They s-said I'm n-not human." I cried.
"Then what are you , I mean if your at human . Isn't that impossible ." He said in disbelief.
"That's what I thought . They also said I needed to find my protector . My mother when I was little told me a story . I think I told you this . So I'm going to North Wales , it's my closest lead ." I said my mind clearing and my voice unwavering. Riley looked at me as if I had lost my mind . We sat there in his living room , tension you could cut with a knife . He rested his head in his hands , his brown hair resting on his head . He finally lifted his head and stared at me . "Wow , I'll come with you , that's if you want me to ." He said scratching the base of his neck .I looked at him trying to brighten my face with a weak smile . I hugged him "Thank you so much Ri that means the world to me ." I squealed using his nickname . "Just let me pack a bag ." He said a hint of humour lacing his voice . I nodded and followed him up his carpeted stairs , and down the landing into his room . He grabbed a black bag-pack and stuffed so many things than I couldn't count .We raced down the stairs and stepped out of his house , I could tell he was anxious . We ran to the woods because I knew that was a way to Wales .My only way .
