Helpless

Chapter 2: Premonition

I sighed as I continued the long walk to my house. I was extremely tired.
"Today was such a tiring day."
I thought as I continued walking. Staring down at the pavement, I could think of nothing but food. Yes, food! For I was too hungry to think of anything else.

My train of thoughts was soon interrupted when I felt as if someone was following me. A cloud of thoughts gathered in my mind.
"Who is it?"
"Why is he following me?"
"Should I turn around?"
My forehead started sweating as I quickened my pace. My heart pounding against my ribs. I could feel adrenaline rushing through my blood stream. My neatly tied braid started dangling in the air as I further quickened my pace. I was terrified. Extremely terrified.

Soon came a time when I could no longer run. My legs just refused to run. I had no choice but to stop and turn around to actually see who that person was. Panting, I placed my hands on my knees as I stopped to catch my breath. Finally, I stood up and taking a deep breath, I turned around to discover who he was. I was extremely shocked to discover that it was a, it was a, it was a.....
A rabbit? Following me?
It took me a while to understand the whole scenario and finally it dawned upon me that it was just an innocent rabbit following me.
"Oh Allah! I am such a fool. These premonitions are probably gonna kill me one day." I said to myself as I continued the long walk to my house. Thankfully, it was just two houses away. I was now seriously tired from running unnecessarily. The muscles in my legs ached so badly. Sweat was dripping all over my body. My neatly tied braid was now a complete mess. I looked like one of those people in a horror movie who are lost in a forest.

It wasn't long before I finally reached my house. Sighing, I knocked at the front door; only to discover that no one was home.
"Just great."
I thought to myself, highly irritated.
I pulled down my backpack and opened the front pocket to find my house key. Thankfully it was there. I had placed it there just incase of an emergency. I quickly picked it up and turned the door knob to open the door. Finally it opened. I entered my house and locked the door behind me; losing no time and rushing upstairs to my room inorder to take a bath. Today had been such a tiring day.
