Living the Dream

My footsteps echo through the deserted alley as I chased after him. His broad and muscular back was the only thing in my line of sight. My arm throbbed from his tight grip on my elbow and I struggled to free my arm from him. This only caused his hand to tug harder, as if to tell me not to stop. Finally, when we rounded a corner, I pulled back and nearly dislocated my shoulder trying to stop him. When he finally stopped running, he looked back at me and said "We can't stop. We have to keep moving." "Now wait just a damn minute! You can't just bump into me and grab my arm then expect me to start following you when you sprint off," I cried between pants. I glanced at his face and realized that he really did expect me to follow him around like a puppy on a leash. My eyes hardened and I glared at him while I demanded, "What is going on?" His face twisted in urgency and guilt before he finally opened his red, plump lips and coldly stated, "If you don't follow me, you're going to die." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sanya Dyna is an ordinary girl struggling to get through high school, but when a mysterious boy starts invading her dreams, she begins to question her sanity.
