This Was Something I Wrote Way Back In 2009. So The Editing And Way I Describe Things May Not Be Up To Par With How I Do Things Now A Days.

Claimed But Not Known:

 /Death Will Seek You Out and Bite\

The old ware house stood before me, blocking my way, he would catch up to me now. I was ashamed that I had forgotten that this ware house was in the forest, if I had remembered, I would have used it in my get away plan, but now, it was going to be one of the reasons I would die tonight.

            I heard the swish of the tall dark green pine trees, they swayed in the night of the dark sky, well, at least it would be a nice night for the night I died, it would of been warm and beautiful, and then he came, hands in his pockets, his eyes flickering as he stepped out of the shadows of the trees.

He stood there laughing, his eyes going from green to sliver, shining in the low light of the door outside the ware house, taking the moon, the stars and the navy blue, black like sky, and reflecting them back at me.

“Nowhere to run Emilie, Nowhere to hide, no use in the words you say, you see, you have caught me at a bad time, I am starving, actually, more like dying for a dine of your lush blood.” He said, his mouth had two canine like teeth in them, pointy, sharp, scary, and seriously white, I couldn’t believe they were in the mouth I had kissed, stared at for hours, watched as they moved when he talked. This wasn’t right; it was downright wrong and creepy!

And that’s when I grabbed the ware house’s doorknob from behind me, and fell backwards as the door opened, my hand pulling me with it, I knew he would follow, but I was going to try, try to get away from him. Even if I had to push my fear down, while thinking fear was only an illusion.

My hands grasped railings, it was like I was moving, but I couldn’t see, as I ran up the stairs to another level in the ware house, trying to lose him, trying to hide, to seek truth. But he was like an uber vampire and followed, especially fast tonight, he was the speed of lighting, the god of movement, my hunter, and he had me caught in a trap, trap of the mind, the heart, and life.

I kept running though, leaving that room and entering more and more, until I reached one full of pipes, and I was only standing on a metal bridge, and then I remembered, this was a pipes ware house, it would be dangerous in here because of the pipes, I started to run again, when he gripped my wrist and yanked, I screamed and reached out to grab the bridge’s railing, failing, and getting my head smashed into the tiny metal spikes on the bridge, I screamed again as they dug in as he pulled me back, pulling off skin, making me bleed, making his hunger wilder.

I finally succeed in grabbing something, it was the railing’s pole, and I clung to it as I lashed back out at him with my feet, screaming my head off, until he let go.

“You will not get away so easily! You are mine!” He yelled, looking directly at me, I could feel his stare as I got up to run again; I didn’t want to die here, not now, not ever, would a prayer work?

“I was never yours! You claimed me without my knowing!” I yelled back, not bothering to look back until I heard the whoosh of something passing in the air near me, it was a pipe, a loose one, and it smashed into the pipes in the walls, the strength of his throw, causing the pipes to burst open, I shuddered and hid my face.

The pipes blasted, water escaping them, and I moved back in slow motion, avoiding the spurts of water and led pipe as they all came loose and came crashing down on us, my breathing was hard, and my favourite gray school shirt was getting drenched.
