Forbidden Love

On the run

Alana's P.O.V

      I keep running, why do I always have to run from my problems, every time I start to think things are going good for me. With Jax at my heels I don't stop even though i hear Jason in the distance. I'm embarrassed and I'm not ready to face reality. I'm just a lowlife orphan  thief in fancy clothes , I guess pretty jewelry and gowns will never change that.

The ground is frozen beneath my feet and the grass crunches before I hit the  treeline , I don't know how far Jason is behind me and I don't care. They'll execute me for sure now. I wasn't supposed to run. The night air feels like needles against my bare skin and I pause for a breath whilst hiding behind a tree.

Jax is sniffing around but I don't hear any sounds besides the animals out here and rushing water, there must be a stream nearby. I head in that direction,  not having anywhere specific to go and as I stumble upon the creek I stop dead in my tracks....

    A few feet away from me in a clearing is a group of people in cloaks and Jax is growling. Something bad is afoot and I don't know what. I start to back away slowly and step on a stick causing it to crack. Suddenly all of their attention is directed on me and my dog.

   I'm frozen like a deer in the headlights, this isnt good. It isn't until Jax barks that I realize that I cant fight them all. I turn on my heel and run into the forest at full speed, with Jax right next to me. I check behind me every few seconds and there is nobody following, without a chance to stop I run right into a tree. The next thing I know everything is blurry and theres blood running down my face. I pass out with Jax nudging me.
