It was dark, very dark. I was running, running away from someone. I didn't know who they were, or if they were even still chasing me, but I had to keep running. It feels like I've been running for three days straight. My knees were weak, my body was exhausted, and I felt like collapsing. I could feel my chest rise and lower as I inhaled and exhaled. I was breathing so hard. I didn't even know I could breathe this hard.

All the sudden something jumped on my back and I screamed.

My eyes flew open as jumped forward. I was still on the bus. Phew. It was just a dream.

I wiped away sweat from my forehead as I tried to catch my breathe. I looked around to see if anyone had noticed what just happened. No one was looking except for this one guy sitting in the seat across from me. I don't remember him being there when I fell asleep.

His light green eyes were almost piercing into mine. I looked away quickly then slowly looked back. He wiped away a strand of dark hair out of his face. He looked around the age of 25.

I looked away then out my window. I could still feel his eyes on me.

As we drove, I stared out the window in awe. It was relaxing to just sit and stare.

It was starting to get dark. I watched as the sun slowly went down. I sighed as I leaned back in my seat.

We were almost to another bus station. I had to switch buses here. It shouldn't be too difficult.

As the bus slowly came to a stop the bus driver said that no buses would leave here for 30 minutes. Damn. I didn't want to wait that long.

I got up and went to find my new bus. The only other person who got off was the guy who was staring at me. I just tried to not let it scare me. My mom was probably right. I'm just nervous and paranoid.

I was sitting on the other bus for about 15 minutes when I had to pee really bad. I didn't want to use the washroom on the bus, they are nasty, so I went to find the washrooms in the bus station.

On my way I walked past that same guy again. It was clear he was staring but not trying to make it obvious. I ignored him and went to the bathroom. When I left there was no one around. Like at all. This bus stations bathrooms were outside for some reason so it was dark too.

I stumbled on the sidewalk as I walked toward the main doors as an arm slid around my waist and a hand covered my mouth. I tried to free myself from the persons right grip while attempting to shout but it was no use. Whoever this was is strong.

I was being dragged backwards and thrown into the back of a van with no windows. The doors slammed shut. I was gonna try to open them but there were no handles. I screamed and pounded on the door before everything went black.

Something hit me in the back of the head. Hard.
