The Perfect Circle

Chapter 2

Why am I running?

Where am I?

What's happening to me?

"Stop the running August. You know you can't run from me." I whirled around to a menacing voice. The man behind me seem to be walking leisurely while I was running for what seems like hours. Each step he took seem like a thousand of mine.

I soon realized I was running on a sidewalk heading towards a parking lot, which was thankfully filled with unknown cars. The street lights were out so it gave the place a dark and eerie feeling .

I hastily stooped behind a car, hiding from the monster of my nightmare.

"August, come out, come out wherever you are." He said in a sing-song voice. A shiver of disgust ran over my body when he said my name. His voice almost sounded like Ry-

He found me.

No no no no no this can't be happening.

I began making my way between cars since his voice seem to be getting closer. I don't think that was a good idea. The minute I moved, I walked right into him

I released a toe-curling scream when he grabbed me. I thrashed in his hands and began throwing punches all about not really caring where they hit.

"Let me go." I screamed as I continued to thrash about in his scrawny arms.

Snap out of it August, its just a dream.

"I wonder if you still feel the same underneath me?" He muttered mostly to himself, a very disturbing smirk appearing on his face. "I'm sure Xavier wouldn't mind. He's probably dead by now anyways." He laughed, causing some of his spit to catch me. His laugh seem to echo through the entire town so I covered my ears trying to block it out. I clenched my eyes shut as if I am trying to prevent his evilness from seeping into my body and take over my soul.
