I swear something was following me. I didn't know what it was but I had to get away. "Hsss" said something in a erie voice. "Get away from me!" I said as my body was shaking with fear. I started to run as fast as I could. All of the sudden the ground came to my face. My knees and hands now scraped and bleeding. I got back up and saw nothing but the dark. "Who is out there? Please leave me alone". I walked but felt nothing, I did not feel the soft grass upon my feet or the rustling leaves above. I sat down as I suddenly felt dizzey. What was happening to me? Who was out there? What did they...or it want? I closed my eyes and my whole body felt weightless and I lost all feeling. Never knowing what would happen to me. I thought, surely, this was a dream. It was no dream at all. I was in great danger. CHAPTER TWO Though all I thought I could see was darkness that was not true. I did see a sliver of light and I had hope. I got up, or at least I tried. I was tied down. More like my hands had been cuffed to gether. I was sitting on a chair. It was tall and I could not feel the ground. "Hello?'' I said sleepily. "please sit still mrs. Jones. We are not set out to hurt you ma'am." "Mrs. Jones? Oh ya. Who are you?" I heard foot steps and looked for the masked voice I had heard. '' Miss, We are studying the... Um Human Brain!" he said as he hesitated. As if he had not known. "Why am i cuffed up?" "In case of a nightmare, you might try to run in your sleep.Sorry". "Can I leave?" I had questions, yes. But i would love to leave this creepy place. "Miss you had a nightmare in the process and we just wanted to see, well, things the body does when in imaginitive danger." "Imaginitive danger Huh?" He, as in the masked stranger came out in to a bit of light and nodded. "You can go aftre awhile. Now try to sleep". I did fall asleep. When I awoke I was in the warm sun and in the green grass. I was walking towards my house. I walked in and saw mom, making pancakes. "Hi mom". She looked over, "Hi Honey!" She was happy. "I am going on a walk, I will be back in a hour." I walked out the door and down the sreet to the diner. "Hey sweetie!" said Margery, the owners wife. "Hi M" that was her nickname. "Honey! Anna is here!" I waved at John as he walked out. "Well Hey!" He brought out a small cappictiono, my fav. It was chocolate chip. Yum! "aww thanks John!" He winked as I sat down, reading a magazine. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the guy in my "so called dream". I blinked and he was gone. Weird. I got up and ran outside,leaving M to look in confusion. "Hey!" I yelled at a guy who I assumed was the figure. He turned around and apeared to be some young guy who had light hair and a sly smile that crept up his face, with light blue eyes that melted your heart. "Um,hi?" He looked confused now. "Ugh,sorry. I thought you were someone else." He checked me out then said. "I can be anyone" he wiggled his eyebrows which made me laugh. "How old you,hmm?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "I am um, 17,almost 18!" "Woah! Hey I am 19, sorry I am Noah." He blushed. "Well, Noah I am Anna" I smiled. He set down his backpack and some bags so that they all were on one hand, extending his other hand towards me. "Care for a walk, miss Anna?" I blushed "Sure sir Noah." He blushed back. He took my hand in his and we started to walk down the road towards the Statue of Liberty on a nice warm wind on a September day in Ney York. How romantic hun? "So,may I get to know you a little better?" I looked up at him and shrugged. "Okay,first question. Do you like tall dark and handsom guys?" I started to think about it. "Well, I usually go for nice, smart and funny guys. Like, Oh! I absolutely love Josh Hutcherson!" Noah looked at me and smiled. "Oh, well I like Anna Kinderick. She is smokin'!" I pushed him a little bit and he just stood there smiling. "Come on!" He started to pull me and we ran. We finally stopped and I could catch my breath. "Wow,cross country or track?" I asked him while puffing out all my air. "Both, and soccer," he said as he took a swig of water. This guy was athletic! To me anyways. He lifted up his shirt and I saw his toned abs. "Like what you see?," he laughed. "Well,looks like we are here!" I looked and saw a small boat tied to the dock. "Aww, a boat ride?"He looked at me and said, "Ya,gotta treat a girl good around here." We went and sat on the boat,a small seat glued onto the bottom. Nice. I sat then hit my foot, a small picnic basket was set there. I looked inside, and to my surprise I found moldy cheese and old juice. "Eww!" I threw it out of the boat. "Woah, I gotta a fresh one" he got a basket and took out a sandwich, one very large slice of cake, cheese, cheetos,and chicken breast. "Wait,were you stalking me?" "No! No! I am...." He hesitated. "My father owns a couple of companies in New York and took them to Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Russia. He made a ton of money so as his only loving child, he shared all of his money with moi'. But with the lunch, well my chef makes me a big lunch so I will be good for the day." He handed me a sandwich,a sliver of chicken,and a pouch of cheetos. "Thanks, and also thank you for not stalking me." He smiled and started eating. When we were done he took the cake and handed it to me. "Here" "Wait,do you want it?" He shook his head and looked at the sky and continued rowing the boat.When I was done we went back to shore. I looked at my watch and saw I had been gone alot later then I had promised Mom. "Crap! I need to get home!" He caught me and held on to my hand. "Wait! Cant you stay? Come to my house maybe?" I glanced at my phone. "Fine", I gave in. *Bring,bring,bring* "Hello?" My mother whispered into the phone. "Hey,mom! Do you mind if I spend the night at a friend's house?" "Well who?" I took the phona away from my face and whispered to Noah. "I think I can go!" "Oh Mom,it's Penelope!" She said yes (Of course,Penelope is my best friend). "Come on Noah!" We raced to a taxi. We came to a giant house, It was a tan color,very pretty. Inside I saw a indoor pool and a basketball court. Cool! "Well M'lady this is the master bedroom. For you." I gasped when I saw a giant bed with stuffed animals around the edges ad the satin blankets gave the room light and love. There was a hottub that filled up my room at my house. "Wow!" "I never tell a girl that I'm rich because they just want me for the money, but you are different." He smiled and gave me a kiss on the forehead.I was surprised but liked it at the same time. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? WILL THY FALL FOR EACH OTHER? OR HAVE THEY ALREADY? He showed me around a bit then we sat down to watch a movie. When the movie was over it was like 3:00 so we went out side to go to the garden where butterflies flittered around and birds tweeted and chirped. It was like a movie. "Noah, thanks for inviting me over. Wait what about those bags you had when i first met you?" He just smiled at said, " Oh, Martin will get them. He's the best servent around, but he's more like family. Great guy." We sat there for an hour just watching the animals and looking at the flowers untill we decided it was time to go in. "What sounds good for supper?" I didn't even think about it. "Macaroni and cheese?" He looked as though I was crazy. "You want macaroni and cheese? In a big fancy house, you want macaroni and cheese?" He started to laugh. "What?!" He stopped laughing and said sorry. "Usually when friends come over, they want amazing delacacies. But i guess you're not normal. Cool." He smiled at me. "Cheff! Two plates of macaroni and cheese please!" We went to the kitchen to a big beautiful marble table with roses as the center piece. Purple and green decorative flowers attached to sides of the table. The table cloth looked like it was made of satin. And it probably was. A big white chandileir hung from the ceiling hung. We sat on the ends of the table. I was giggleing and squirming around like a 6 year old in a barbie house. When cheff came out with two big steaming plates of macaroni and cheese it looked amazing!. "Hmmmm, this is amazing, seriously." Noah smiled and took a bite and nodded in agreement. "Indeed". After that it was getting pretty late and I headed to bed. "G'night Anna." "Night Noah". I tucked in my satin sheets and cuddled up with a stuffed raccoon with big green eyes. "Good night little 'coon."......... When I woke up it was a little dark outside and I started to think about Noah and how he sort of resembled the man in the dream. How that dream scared me and how I felt safe awake. "Hello?" "Umm, yes?" I answered cautiously, it didn't sound like Noah. This voice sounded older. "Miss, it's me, Martin. The butler, maybe Noah talked about me?" I remember, the butler, Martin yes. "Sure come in" He walked in with a large envelope and a small box. He walked back out and closed the doors. I opened the box first. It was a necklace with a weird emblem and a colorful ruby that had a A in the middle. It was gold on the sides with a wolf of some sort. I opened the envelope and it had a letter, and a picture. It was a picture of the man in the dream and Noah. When I went to read the letter it had yet another wolf and a strange looking emblem.
