AN: Hello! So before you read this I have an important message.
The Demise Of evil; one of my other oneshots, has been revised and changed to make it correct. I would really appreciate it if people could go read it, even if you already have, the changes may seem insignificant to you but not to me. And i've added to it a little. so.. i'm not trying to be pushy or anything...
anyway...
Disclaimer: I don't own but I wish I did...
Corners
You never know what might lay in wait behind the next corner.
Happiness in the form of your one true love, hurt in the betrayal of your dearest friend.
The blind anger of being trapped by those that are more powerful then you, or the black peace of death as you fall into oblivion.
Every step you take is full of chance. All you can do is shield yourself against what is to come. Don't let anyone or anything into your heart. And never make the mistake of letting someone see your soul.

Alex Rider ran down the dark, shadowed street. Every hidden doorway hid another fate, another choice. His breath came hard and rattly in his chest, freezing into a fog as he released it.
The slaps of his own bare feet against the asphalt road echoed loudly in his ears. His pyjama clad legs pumping furiously as hot, frightened tears slid down his cheeks.
Suddenly he was falling, crashing to the ground and rolling messily. Pain searing immediately as his thin pyjama pants tore and his skin connected with the rough road, cutting him.
He cried out, sobs coming faster, harder as he panted, lying in a heap of tangled limbs. Slowly, he got to his feet. Limping slightly as he started to run again, sprinting down the street.
Sirens, loud and piercing pounded into his head. He kept running. Ignoring them. Running, running…
Bu-bump, bu-bump, bu-bump…
He turned the corner.

Wreckage, metal everywhere. A powdery blanket of twinkling glass.
The car was wrapped around a light pole. The orange glow flickering as the globe threatened to die.
Sparks erupted from the car. Police and firemen patrolled, working together to release the woman trapped in the rubble.
Alex Rider came to an abrupt halt.
He stood on the street corner, rooted to the spot. Unable to tear his eyes away.
He stumbled. His legs threatening to give way.
He ran. A shriek ripping from his throat.
"JACK!"
AN: Now, I wrote this in class when I was meant to be revising for my math and history exams. Both of which I am most definitely not prepared for. I just couldn't concentrate, my class is full of idiots.
I do hope you liked it. (well I don't hope you didn't like it, do I?)
til next time,
Lies.
