Chapter1

Everything was dark around me. I didn’t know where I was. The only thing that I knew was that I had to get the hell out of here. I was confused and disoriented. I could only feel my legs moving and that I was running as fast as my legs could carry me. The only sounds were the ones of my own heart beating really fast and quickly and shouts and footsteps of a man running behind screaming my name.

It was so dark and since I was trying to get away as far as I could I didn’t notice a loose branch on the floor, and the next thing I knew I was falling and lying face down on a smooth surface that could be some sort of grass.

As bad as my vision was I could sense that it was getting blurry so instinctively I placed my hand on the back of my head and could feel a stick and wet surface on my brain, blood. That relocation caused me to get extremely dizzy.

The next thing I knew I was being grabbed by the neck and puId roughly and violently against a hard surface that I could only guess was the trunk of a tree.

“You little bitch, you thought that you could out run me! And save your little family, well let me tell you that I won’t give you that satisfaction. You’re going to die knowing that you couldn’t do anything to save them”

That’s when his grip on my neck started to grow stronger and it was more difficult to breathe with every second that was passing. Suddenly I could feel something slicing my side and let out a blood curdling scream. They grew louder and louder as he sliced more and more. I couldn’t take it anymore the only thing that was passing through my mind was when that torture would end

Finally he stopped he took the knife to my neck and I could feel that he was putting more and more pressure on my neck. I closed my eyes waiting for my end and finally giving up. When suddenly the hold and pressure on my neck was lifted and you could hear a loud bang.

After catching back my breath and coming back to my senses. I stood up on shaky legs, leaning on the tree trunk. When I was finally capable of raising my head the sight that was in front of me was scaring the hell out of me and making me more confused than I already was. There laid that man in a puddle of his own blood and not moving. I stood there frozen not knowing what to do.

After what seemed like a lifetime but was only a few minutes I could hear the sirens coming from afar. I only had a few seconds to decide to stay and wait for the police and then explain how I puId the forty year old man from on top of me while he was holding the knife to my neck and then sent him ten feet away from me without even touching him, resulting in his death. Or run and stay in the shadows till I could find a solution as to what was happening to me. And as they had their own life I could feel myself running from that dead man, from my family, my friends, the sirens and specially from my life. That’s when I knew that I would never be again Hayley Johnson and that my life as a normal fifteen year old girl living with her mom and brother in London, and going out with my friends and going to school would be changed for a life on the run, running away from the persons that I knew, that cared about me and loved me, and that were looking for me.
