Run. That's all i can do. I don't know where I'm running but it needs to be as far away from him as possible. I ran into the woods only to feel something hit my leg and cause me to fall. I looked at my leg and saw blood dripping from it. Even looking at my own blood was making me hungry but I knew I had no time to eat. I wrapped my leg in my hoodie to stop the bleeding and ran out of the woods. There was only one place I could go. I ran until I got to a giant mansion at the edge of town. He was still chasing me. I banged on the door until I saw someone. This is one of my best friend Alicia's house. She is a very rich girl but she isn't stuck up or rude. She's the complete opposite actually. Alicia came to the door and looked at me in fear. "Kaitlyn, what are you doing here? I haven't seen or heard from you in months," she said "It's a long story....Can I come in please before he finds me?" "Yeah of course, but have to explain why I haven't seen or heard from you." I ran into the house and immediately dropped to my knees and cried. So let me explain why I was running for my life. For the past year I've been beaten and abused by the one who said he loved me. His name is Juuzou and we had been together for 3 years. About a year ago I found out he cheated on me with a girl who bullied me for my entire life. When I found out I tried to end everything but he wouldn't let me go. He started to get drunk and beat me until I passed out. As months passed it got worse and worse and I started to enjoy the pain . I lost contact with the outside world. Whenever someone asked him where I was he said, 'I moved far away from my old life.' In reality I was being held against my will and forced to do horrible things for his personal gain. Everyday he would beat me and say he loves me. He called me a monster and a freak because...I'm a ghoul.Tonight I finally had enough of the abuse and ran away until he realized i was escaping. He chased me until I got to Alicia's house and saw her let me in. Juuzou was always afraid of my friends so he would never go near them. After I finish explaining to Alicia, I saw her face in shock. "You.... never had anyway of communication...?" She asked. I shook my head slightly. She leaned against the couch. "Do you want to stay here for a few nights? Possibly more..?" I nodded and hugged my knees. I couldn't get rid of that feeling that all of this is just a dream and I'll wake up in the same house I was beaten in. I don't know if I'll ever be the same after what he's done to me. I won't let myself fall for another lie or be beaten for being myself. My stomach started to growl. I almost forgot I hadn't eaten in almost a week. I stood up and almost fell. "I'm going to get something to eat, I'll be back soon." I grabbed a big kitchen knife and put it in my back pocket. I left the house and ran to the closest place to get food...the bar. I went through an alleyway and saw a drunk guy walking towards me. "Hey sexy wanna have some fun?" he said. He put his arm around me and pulled me really close to him. A guy with white hair and one red and black eye ripped the drunk guy's head off and threw it somewhere.
My eyes turned red and black. "Hey that was my kill not yours," I told him angrily. He looked at me annoyedly. "Oh please, without me being here you would've gotten raped or killed. In fact, you should be thanking me." He rolled his eyes and gave me one of the guy's arms. "Here, you need to eat." I took the arm and ate it without hesitation. He looked at me shocked and ate the other arm. I finished eating and looked at the guy who thinks he saved my life. What I didn't realize before is that he is hot as hell. I started blushing and looked at the ground. He lifted my chin and looked me in the eye. My entire face turned red. "U-ummm.....I have to go bye." I ran back to Alicia's house and saw her and boyfriend Jimin sitting on the couch. Alicia ran over to me and hugged me tightly. "You're ok? You were gone so long, I thought he got you again....Why are you blushing so much?" "Well...I went to get food and this drunk guy I guess flirted with me. So this other really really cute guy came and he thinks he saved me." "Really? Did you find out his name or where he lives?" I finally realized...I didn't know his name. The only thing I knew was what he looked like. I could tell he wasn't like most ghouls. He actually shared some food instead of trying to make me go away. He also only had one red and black eye instead of two. Alicia took me to my room in the basement and it looked awesome. "Thanks for letting me stay here. Otherwise, I would still be running." "It's no problem really. Get some rest you look like you haven't slept in weeks." She closes the door and leaves me alone with my thoughts. The truth is I haven't slept in weeks. The beatings had gotten worse recently and more frequent so I never slept. I laid on the bed and almost instantly fell asleep. [The Next Day] I woke up to Alicia standing over me wrapping the bullet wound on my leg. I completely forgot about that. I guess I was too focused on staying alive to notice. "Thank you for wrapping my wound. I completely forgot about it." "You're welcome. I saw the hoodie wrapped around your leg and saw the blood so I fixed it for you." I stood up and heard my stomach growl again. It's been so long since I've eaten, so I guess my body is trying to adjust to it. Alicia gave me a black and red box with a bow on it. I opened the box and saw a pistol but instead of bullets, there were knives. "Here. It's so u can protect yourself. In case, Juuzou tries to hurt you again." She left the room and went to her loving boyfriend. I went to the bathroom a took a hot shower, the first one I've had in a long time. After I finished my shower, I got dressed and put my knife pistol in my back pocket. I went upstairs and saw Alicia and Jimin in the kitchen being relationship goals. "Hey, I'm gonna go get food. I'll be back later," I went outside and went to the city again. I was hoping to see that guy again, but so far he's nowhere to be seen. I went into an alleyway and saw a shadow eating something. I put my hand on my pistol and walked closer to whoever or whatever it was. When I turned the corner, I saw the same white haired guy from last night. He turned around and saw me. I hid behind a dumpster and hoped he didn't see me. All of a sudden I feel hand on my shoulders and a raspy voice say, "Well well well, look who it is. The girl I saved last night and never learned her name." My entire face turned bright red like a damn tomato. I turned around and saw him standing there with his shirt ripped up. "U-ummm... Hi... I guess." He chuckled. "Hi, I'm Kaneki. The guy who saved you last night." He held out his hand for me to shake it. "I'm Kaitlyn. You didn't save me I was fine on my own." I shook his hand and he pulled me closer to him. "You know, you're very cute when you blush my dear." He kissed my hand and backed away from me. We heard police sirens nearby and looked each other in the eye. "I have to go, but I hope I can see you again." He gave me a piece of paper and ran out of the alley. I looked at the piece of paper and it had his phone number on it. I put the paper in my back pocket and ran back to Alicia's house. When I got there, I wasn't expecting to see who I saw.
