Born of Air
Running.
The only thing I've ever known. I don't know why all these creatures were after me, but I knew it wasn't to play.
So I Ran.
I looked behind me to see the beasts still running at me. I had no idea what it was but that it had tried to kill me moments ago.
I was running through the streets of New York, in the middle of October and it must be two O'clock in the morning by now I was exhausted but I couldn't stop it would catch up to me.
I don't have a family. I don't have anyone.
My name is Anneleigh. I am 13 years old.
There is definitely something wrong with me, all these creatures want to kill me. I do not understand why, but they have been after me since I was five years old.
I lived in orphanages all the country.
The first one I remember was a foster home in Detroit Michigan when I was five. Some winged beast attacked and the building collapsed. By some miracle no one was hurt, but the foster home was never rebuilt and all of us children were sent to other homes.
The last orphanage I stayed in was when I was 11 in New York City, and yet another beast attacked destroying the place. A few of the kids got hurt when the building collapsed. I decided that it would be better if I just stayed away from people. No one could get hurt if I wasn't around. It's not like the others could protect themselves, they couldn't even see the creatures that were attacking me.
I was alone.
Which brings me back to now.
Running down an empty ally in New York City praying for a miracle because I was getting tired and this beast wasn't slowing down at all if anything it was growing faster.
I couldn't keep this up, I turned and looked again and the creature was only a few yards behind me now. I need a plan, but what can I do I don't have a weapon there's no one to help.
I made a sharp turn down another small ally but in seconds I was at a dead end. My back up against a brick wall the creature advancing on me quickly.
I looked around to see if I would make a weapon of anything but there was nothing.
Out of all the dark ally's in New York City I get stuck in, it's a clean one.
"Stay away from me!" I made an empty threat.
The creature didn't seem threatened by me at all. I got a good look at the creature it was a Minotaur I believe they're called.
It had the head of a Bull, but the body of a Man.
Without a warning it charged at me, I thankfully jumped out of the way and it ramped into the bricks of the building behind me.
I was amazed that the building seemed unfazed by this.
The creature knocked me against the side wall of the ally I hit the ground hard, I felt myself spinning slightly as if I just gotten of a Merry-go-round, and not only that but I wasn't able to breathe for a few seconds either. I tried to stand back up but I couldn't find the strength to do it. Dots started clouding my vision.
Not only had I been running from this creature for a few hours it had just knocked the wind out of me.
This was it.
I had been running for years and I was going to die now.
The minotaur readied itself to charge again, when there was a voice.
"Hello! Over here" The voice of a boy. The Minotaur creature moved and I seen well I think I seen a boy waving some kind of flag or something.
The creature ran at him and he dodged it.
"Stop, run!" I told the boy trying to stand up again. But like the last time I fell the only difference was this time my head bounced off the pavement and everything disappeared.
The last thing I remember thinking was.
'God please let him be okay'
