1-On the Run

I hurriedly walked passed the crowd of people pushing and shoving a few out my way, earning a few glares and choice of words. My eyes flickered around me as anxiety started to crawl up my spine my eyes darted towards the trees as if I would find Damien there looking at me. Once I escaped the crowd of people I walked down the street willing myself to breath. I had a small bag thrown over my shoulder as I sped up my pace, it was filled with the few things I owned.

I didn't stay at a single place or town long enough in fear of Damien finding me I flinched as his angry eyes flashed across my vision. I just needed to get out of this town so I can relax a little, I've stayed here for half a week that's long enough. I took out my ticket as I started across the street towards the bus station just as I about to make it I bumped into someone causing me to go to the ground.

But I stopped mid-drop I realized arms were wrapped around my waist my breathing hitched as I started to panic. I squirmed as I started to shout "Let me go! Let me go!" suddenly I was pulled to my feet and the arms disappeared. I stumbled back making sure to put distance "Are you alright?" a deep voice asked behind me I jumped and whirled around to be met by a well built man with blonde hair falling into his brown eyes.

I moved back again as he moved torwards I studied his huge frame frantically there was something about him but I couldn't figure it out. I didn't like that at all. His eyes shone with concern that made mine narrow in caution. "Are you okay?" he asked again as he step closer "No!" I nearly shouted flinching away from him as he brought his hand towards me but it quickly fell when I protested.

I watched as his eyes ran over me I couldn't help but to the same I wore the same white shirt and jeans from when I escaped, they were torn and dirty  and caked with mud in some places. I tried to ignore his stare as I asked quietly "Who-Who are you?"

The man snapped his eyes back to mine and I flinched "Dom" he answered softly the name repeated itself in my head. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion "You are?" he asked interrupting my thoughts I hesitated in giving my name. I didn't trust him my eyes ran around us through the trees, half expecting Damien to pop out.

I screamed when I left something grip my wrist I looked down to see Dom quickly snatching his hand away. I blinked at him before stuttering "Uh-uh I'm A-Annabel" I fidgeted with the strap of my small bag. "Are you running from someone?" the sudden question made my face pale I looked up at him as I started to gape like a fish.

"Erm, no, no I'm-I'm not" I assured I looked behind him just now remembering my bus I started to move around him but he blocked my path. I stumbled and looked at him in confusion his eyes held the same confusion mixed with concern. "Tell me, I can help, trust me" he urged I shook my head before avoiding his eyes they suddenly seemed dangerous.

"I really need to go-" I was cut off when I saw my bus pull off and was already down the street slowly disappearing. I sighed, great, "Nowhere" I huffed softly as I shifted the bag on my shoulder I turned and noticed the way Dom's eyes glinted I felt my eyes widened, he heard me. I gulped as I continued to try and walked past when I was successfully, he followed me.

"Let me help you, I have a place for you to stay" he offered I turned on him causing him to suddenly stop. "Look, I don't need your help" I said before continuing on my way but I heard echoing footsteps "You'll be safe" he called I hesitated in my step. safe.

I haven't felt like that in years but I brushed off the thought of agreeing and kept walking "No thanks" I called as I turned the curb. I noticed the sky was getting dark and my stomach growled I dug in my pocket and sigh in relief I had a bit of money left.

I walked into a café and order something to eat I sat in the back where no one could notice me once I finished I leaned back in my chair as I started to think of how I'm suppose to leave town now. Suddenly Dom and his offer popped in my head I pushed the thought back as I push my hand though my hair. I groaned as I placed my head on the table I could use a quick nap before I had to worry I didn't really get much sleep.
