I finger the locket around my neck. My blonde hair desperately needed a brush. I had run away a year ago. My mom had died when I was 14. After that, my dad began his new life as a drunk and he beat me daily. Now at the age of sixteen I was glad I had run away from him. I had an envelope that started with 6,000 dollars, now that envelope had 5,000.
I had traveled 160 miles from home to a place called traders rock.
I lay up in a tree with a full camouflage outfit on.
Now, was the time to start my new life. I walk into the woods and grab an old shirt and some boots. I change and then walk into town. I walk to a local supermarket to buy some hair color.
A boy looks at me oddly and then hands me my bag. He yanks me out of the store and then throws me into an alley.
"Your Alexis Proviocit!" he says. Crap. My old name. Luckily before I ran away I convinced one of my dad's drunken whores to say she was my mom and change my name to Alyssa Reddington.
"No I'm not" I scream.
He smacks me and then says "lets go"
He yanks me up and pulls me through the alley to another street.
"Ow quit!" I hiss loudly.
"Shut up!" he growls and hits me. I groan.
Luckily another boy walks up and hits him.
"Let her go Jonah!" he growls. He throws "Jonah " my captor against a building and hits him in the stomach.
I fall to the ground in a heap.
Josh runs back through the alley and dropped my bag of brown hair dye.
"Are you okay?" the boy who saved me asks.
"Yeah I think so"
"Hey let's go to my place and you can eat and relax."
"I.."
"C'mon please? Plus you can do your hair at my place, where do ya live."
"I guess,"
"My names Matthew, what's your name?" he asks as he pulls me up and opens a red rusted trucks door.
"Alyssa."
"Where ya from?" he asks.
"Ummm, I..."
"Ummm, I... c'mon I won't bite" he says.
"But you might turn me in" I whisper.
"What? Turn you in? what are you a criminal?" he asks.
"No!" I say.
"What's your hair dye for? why would you change your beautiful hair?" he asks lifting my chin up.
"I have to"
He looks into my eyes and then starts the truck.
"I know who you are"
"What?!"
"Don't worry I won't turn you in" at that I get out of the truck leaving the dye and run down the sidewalk.
"Wait! Alyssa!" he yells.
I continue running and don't look back. As I race through the woods I realize I left my backpack in his truck too.
After a while I reach a field where a large red horse stands. I walk towards the horse.
"HEY GET BACK FROM THAT HORSE HE WILL KILL YOU!" Some one screams and I hear the thundering of hooves coming from the edge of a ridge.
I look up to see a black horse with a long black mane that fades into silver. A boy rides on it's back.
As he gets closer he says "Alyssa?"
