Astrid is still chasing me. I turn a couple of corners, trying to lose her. As soon as I think I lost her, though, I turn around, and she's still there. She has the most evil grin, and her eyes lit up maliciously. Her eyes are still an empty black void. She keeps repeating the same message over and over again in the same scratchy voice, "KILL ASTRID, ANGELA. SHE DESERVES TO DIE. SHE CANNOT SURVIVE WHILE YOU LIVE."
"NO," I call over my shoulder. I keep sprinting, never slowing. It makes no sense. Shouldn't Astrid be the one wanting to kill me?My breathing becomes heavy and labored, but I don't stop. I can't stop. Even when I try to stop, my feet keep pounding against the pavement. Something is wrong with me. I absolutely can't stop. I try to turn my head, but can't. I just keep running. Something keeps me going for what seems like forever. It's like someone is controlling me. Finally, I can stop. I had been forced to run into an alleyway.
"Hello Angela," a rough voice chills me to the bone. I turn my head, searching for the location of the voice. Astrid stares at me, a malicious grin lighting a fire in the void of her eyes.
