I didn't want to think about how I was getting out of this place because I didn't know how, and I knew that they would realize I was gone any mintue now. I dropped my bottle of water as sirens went off in alarm.

People stood up in a panic. The sirens rang and the lights went dim and only the flash of the alarms could be seen. People started running off. I knew what was happening, they were trying to find me.

"Everyone to their stations, in a calm and orderly fashion. Security has been breached. I repeat security has been breached report to your areas immediately."said a robotic voice.

A breach, I didn't breach I was trying to escape..Red and Stan were signalling me to come with them but I shook my head. They looked at me understanding why I couldn't go with them. I knew what I needed to do. This was perfect timing. I knew now why the alarms went off. Harry.

I threw off my shoes because they were weighing me down. I ran into people, their bodies slamming into mine.

I couldn't get angry with them because they were going the right way. It was me who was going to the "danger". They were making Harry seem like some heartless monster.

I squinted my eyes at the long hallways going left and right and it was just too much. I was never good under pressure. I liked to take my time and make sure everything was perfect. Especially when I was painting.

right

I gladly went right, where I was expecting Harry was. My footsteps couldn't be heard over the roar from the siren. It was still dark. I get its an alarm and their under "attack" but how do they expect people to get to where they need to be if they can't even see? Yeah exactly makes no sense.

I ran a little to fast and slipped. My knees hurt from the impact. I leaned up on my elbows hoping that would help my pain, yeah well it didn't. I saw a figure, as they came into the light I realized it just wasn't a figure it was my Harry.

He looked down at me and studied my face, he looked angry and tense. When his eyes met mine he melted. I rose to my feet and ran to him jumping in his arms. It felt so natural, I rested my head in his neck and quietly sobbed.

"Gnat, I thought they hurt you, I thought they took you away from me." he said softly his voice barely above a whisper.

"I thought I wasn't ever going to see you again." I cried my hands cupping his face.

"Its okay, I'm here right now." he whispered rubbing my back.

As much as Harry and I would have loved to just stand there and embrace each other, we couldn't, we had to leave this place.

We still weren't safe. He lowered me to the ground. We ran through the hallways together hand in hand.

A young man in a coat stepped out. He had a lab coat and a needle in his hand. It was filled with some blue substance. Harry's face hardened and his jaw tensed as he focused on the man's hand.

"Harry what is that?" I whispered looking at him.

"Its zyogites, they actually did it. They made something that could stop me." he said out loud.

"What do you mean stop?" I questioned, my eyebrows pulling down in confusion.

"Kill, he means kill. And if the serum works as planned Harry will be stopped and you Miss Wilson will come to me where 1. you will be severely punished for your acts of treason or 2. Let go and we will say Harry was your captor, and kept you hostage, surely everyone will believe us and you can go back to the way your life was supposed to be. . . Now Miss Wilson come over to me immediately." the man said.

I don't think Harry liked the idea of me being punished because he took a step towards the guy. I grabbed his arm and gave him a look. I couldn't let him go, I didn't want to lose him yet or ever.

I needed him. Slowly I started walking over to the man when Harry called me pleading me not to go. I turned around to face him and he looked, scared.

I mouthed "trust me" before continuing to walk over to the man.

When I was close enough he grabbed me and held me close to him. I looked at Harry who didn't know what to do. I had to make a decision either Harry or my life, the way it was always going to be.

I thought for a moment before I made my decision. I grabbed the needle and pierced it through the guys neck and injected him with the serum.

He looked at me before slumping to the ground, his breathing became heavy and he grasped on to my hand. He looked like he was in a terrible amount of pain. I knelt down next to him and gently held his hands, "I'm sorry."

But I wasn't sorry for what I did, because it was the only way to save Harry. I was sorry because I had to kill him, I didn't know anything about him, if he had a family, or friends. If he was nice or mean. Hell, I didn't even know his name.

I looked at his eyes, cold and dead. I closed them a tear escaped from my eye and I wiped at it absentmindedly. I shouldn't be crying for him, but I was, because I knew it was my fault he was dead. I didn't have to do it but I did.

"Gnat, we should go." he urged pulling me to my feet and away from the man.

I nodded and we ran together hand in hand. Harry went into an office and locked the door.

It was empty he walked over to a long, colossal modern window and kicked it harshly with his foot a few times before busting it. It shattered into a million pieces. He jumped without even looking down and I ran over to the window, a scream leaving my lips.

Harry stood there looking up at me  with beckoning arms. I noticed it was like almost three or four stories down. A loud commotion could be heard from outside the door. There were doctors and guards pounding on the door.

I cried to myself, I pulled my hair in frustration. I didn't mean it, I never wanted to hurt anyone. That was never my intention, the door groaned from the amount of pressure it was receiving.

"Clayton do you think life is important?"

Yeah, I sure wish I could be alive..but Natalie you don't have a lot of time you should jump

Right.

I walked to the edge on the window the glass pricking into my feet. I didn't cry out because it didn't hurt. It didn't hurt me I was so numb. I never liked heights but it didn't matter anymore.

I laughed and turned around so that I was facing the door. I raised my arms out in a T with my palms to the sky, I leaned back and let the air embrace me. My hair flew around me and my body wasn't as stiff as I thought.

I felt arms wrap around me and both Harry and I fell to the ground with a thud. My body stung and ached from the impact but I wasn't dead. I let out a muffled yelp as I looked at my ankle, that I was sure I had twisted.

For the life of me I couldn't imagine putting any weight on it.

"Good girl." he praised, for me for jumping off a building that high.

I couldn't smile because of the pain I was in, Harry pressed me against his chest, "I know gnat, I'm gonna make it better, let's get you somewhere safe and I'll make it all better." harry said in a gentle tone.

I nodded before burying my face into his chest  away as he ran. I didn't know where we were going nor did I care. I just know I wanted to be anywhere but here.
