My name is Maela, 15-years-old, and unsure how to live in the battle of life, I feel like I am drowning until...
-------------------------------------------------------
Ouch! I ran into a wall, wait. Looking up I see a man, tattoos scattering his visible skin, besides his face, but his face looks almost empty of emotion, except a flicker of shock; the shock turning into determination.
"Who are you?" He calmly questions. I quickly look down and take a step back pulling out of his hands which had been grasping my upper arms. I don't say anything, I can't. I turn to start walking past him, but he reaches out for me.
"Wait!" I flinch. I see guilt pass over his features breifly.
"I didn't mean to scare you, I just need to know your name. You look like someone I once knew, someone who was really special to me and my family." It is gently spoken, with care. I don't know what to do. so, I drop my bag on the ground and grabbing a pen I write a scribbled version of my name.
Maela Reinrick
He gasps, looking almost frantic but I can't place it. He goes to reach for me again, but I take another two steps back, shaking my head no, I won't let him touch me.
"Maela we have been looking for you..." I don't hear anything after that. I run. I am never going back, not after having a without more pain being inflicted on me.
