We thought people would be safe here….. But we were wrong. They came in the night, the first thing they took was the government. No one knew why they came or who they were, we didn’t even know where they came from. They looked like us but we knew they were not human. We all feared what they would do to us….. That was 6 years ago.
They took my family and they would of took me to but my mother hid me. I’ve been on the run since. They almost found me after a few months of me being on the run but I got lucky and snuck away. I’m 20 years old now and my name is Skyler Anderson ….. I don’t fear them like others there’s worse things on earth. I’ve been living in a abandoned barn for awhile now
There are others like me we call ourselves the runners. The town that I i’m in have two other runners, Jane and Luke.
…..I woke up from the nightmares in a cold sweat, my breath was uneven and I was having trouble breathing. I grabbed the cup of water that I always kept by my makeshift bed and guzzled it down till it was empty. I try taking deep breaths to calm down and after awhile my breath became somewhat even. I roll the sleeves of my navy blue cropped hoodie up and fix my black skinny jeans so I was more comfy and get up.
That’s when I heard it a loud crash from down stairs in the barn! I quickly got out of the makeshift bed and went to go look out the window. Since it was the middle of the night I couldn’t see anything . Then there was another crash and that’s when my stomach growled I haven't eaten in awhile since I could not go on a run. I try to ignore it and quickly walk down the wood stairs.
Once I got to the first floor I start to look around it was pretty dark but there was some light coming from the full moon…. Wait I know I closed and locked the barn door before I went to bed. Someone is in here with me I grab the pocket knife that I always keep in my back pocket and pull it out. I start to look around carefully but ended up finding nothing.
I go to turn around and go to close the barn door but a black cat jumps out and hisses at me it green eyes were glowing in the dark. I shoo it out the barn and close the barn door.
I start to walk to the stairs but stop. Cats can’t open doors I know that for sure they can’t. As soon as I turn around i’m grabbed from behind I struggle to get free but there to strong. I can tell it is a man because of how strong they are.
They still have me in a tight grip when they cover my mouth with a cloth. I try to struggle even more but they still have me in there grip. My mind tells me not to breath in but I do anyway. My vision starts to blur and I knew i was going to black out but i was not going to give up now, not after 6 years of running.
Soon my body turns weak and I could barely move. I start to feel my eyes close slowly. I was slowly going unconscious.
I started to whisper “No.No….. No” trying to move my body but I couldn’t feel it. This couldn’t be happening all these six years going to waste.
My eyes soon were too heavy to keep open i tried to keep them open but it was to hard so I did what my body wanted, I closed my eyes. I started to get really tired and I was going to go unconscious.
The last thing i heard before I did was a deep voice say in a whisper “ I’m sorry”, then I fell into a deep sleep.
