The Created

Prologue

"Just keep running! Faster!" she screamed, although I was ahead of her.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" I screamed back, running into what seemed like nothing, the darkness overwhelming. The only light that could be seen was emitting from my companion.

"Well it's not fast enough, they're catching up on us!" she responded, picking up her pace to catch up to me and shine some light on where we're heading. We had to go somewhere, we had to get out. Completely in darkness before, I thought we lost them and were far ahead. That was until I saw a bullet pass by my head. I instantly went faster, once again surpassing her as I turned a corner.

I wiped sweat off my forehead as my body started losing energy. We couldn't run forever… but we had to. I kept turning corners, trying to lose them. Soon, all I could hear were the footsteps of my companion and me, along with the sizzling of light beside me as she again caught up. I turned another corner, and finally that's when I saw it. An outdoor light, a chance for freedom.

My run turned into a sprint and I was going so fast I could barely breathe. I thought I was alone for a second, the light next to me gone, until suddenly I felt her beside me again. She was breathing hard, as out of breath as me, craving for that light as much as me.

We were going to make it, we lost our foes, and we were so close. Sweat continued to trickle down my face as I finally made the last few steps to reach the light, the exit, the chance. It wasn't until I finally stopped to catch my breath did I realize she wasn't next to me, her heat gone.

Looking back at her, I noticed her face as it blanched, looking around us. Finally tearing my eyes from hers confused, I looked around also and realized… we were surrounded. Miles of them around us, trapping us as they always do. We weren't free, we could never be free. I couldn't have that light, that chance for freedom… if I never had the chance to begin with.

Yep, so there it was! The prologue to this story. I'm sorry it was so short, but I wanted to keep things simple and start off with a part of the story that will happen later on; make things interesting. xD Don't worry, the chapters actually get longer and longer as I go, I don't know how that happened or why I did it, but it works! So, I hope you like it and please review! :D
