The Chase

The man looked wildly around, searching for something he didn't know, anything to assist his escape. The man was losing consciousness. He saw the world go blurry, getting darker and darker with each passing second. He felt bile in the back of his constricting throat, his stomach churning, head pounding, leg throbbing, neck stinging. He knew this wasn't going to get better, only worse. He slowly closed his eyes, letting the darkness encompass him. The last thing he saw before sleep closed its arms around him, was the face of a man. "You will have consequences," he said. Then, succumbing to the relentless pulling of the never ending darkness, he surrendered to sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------17 year old Emma Whetherspire leads a normal high school life. With one exception: she is hunted. She sees strange men in dark clothing following her around, turning up at places, wherever she is at. She doesn't know who they are, only that they are dangerous. She is growing tired of being seen changing in her room, or talking in small groups at the mall with friends, or even in her shower. So she would do what any irrational teen would do. She ran.
