"T- Tyler... Come here... now." Dylan's voice had a string of panic within it. "What's wrong?" I asked, walking toward the living room. He stayed silent, saying nothing as I looked at the television. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, it was the same blonde woman with green eyes saying something about the Marines, that was until I saw the headline at the bottom and it was labeled "Breaking News: 22 Year Old Female Platoon Leader Critically Injured After Explosion" My jaw dropped and my heart started to race, I kept whispering to myself and shaking my head, cupping my hand over my mouth. I backed up slightly and Dylan looked over at me, "Breathe, Tyler." --- Nineteen year old Alia Kendall is a Military Working Dog Handler in the Marine Corps who had met Tyler Trader, a Navy SEAL, at a bar in Virginia and she would have never guessed she'd disappear into the night with this unknown man.

I've been on the run for three years. I'm not the first, but I certainly won't be the last. For as long as I can remember, I had been experimented on, drugged to the brink of insanity, and tortured by someone I thought was my family. Boy, was I wrong. This isn't one of those stories where I suddenly get a huge boost of courage and defeat the bad guys then live happily ever after. I don't believe in that stuff anymore. Instead, I was a coward, and ran for my life, for my freedom, because I was too afraid to stand and fight and risk losing control like the monster they had created me to be. I've been too many people, have moved too many times. Now, I wonder if I will finally be able to find a place to call home... I won't allow myself to be captured before I even have a chance at that. Because if do, I'm as good as dead. © Sweetslover8 ~August 26th, 2013 ***Please note that the following is a work of fiction.
