"Shayly! are you okay!" someone said, but I was in so much pain, i could'nt figure out who it was, until leanalee bent down in front of me, stay calm! iIl find someone," right after she said that, she looked up and yelled,"Kanda! help! she's in alot of pain," leanalee noticed the blood, and looked at me with concen I saw black boot's appere in my vision, as I was holding my head, looking at the floor. I saw hand's reaching for me, and remembred,dark hand's reaching for me, coming to kill me! i tryed to escape! but I was slapped and slamed into the wall!i screamed in pain! "no! leave me alone! please! i did'nt do anything!"
