I ran. I didn't know where to, or who to; I just ran. I tried my best to see what way lying ahead of me with each step, my vision being impaired by salty tears and rain that fell from my dark auburn hair. The previous events of the evening kept replaying through my mind, like a skipping record, torturing me as I carried on.

I was in my room, doing nothing, really; just staring out my window, listening to the distant thunder roaring a few miles off. 'Beautiful' I thought. To me, London appeared stunning when it rained, which was often. The sound of the rain rattling on the rooftops on the houses of London put me at ease and helped me relax. But my peace was short lived, when the sound of a crash traveled to my ears. I arrived downstairs moments later, to find my mother trapped between a wall and gun, help by a sinister-looking figure.

"Where is it?" he inquired harshly.

"Please, I don't know what you are talking about. Just don't h-"

"Don't play daft with me, you foolish woman! Now, where is it?" he interrupted my terrified mother, not hesitating to backhand her afterwards. That's when I cut in.

"STOP IT! LEAVE HER ALONE! GET AWAY!" I continued to shout as I leapt down the rickety, wooden steps of our small house. As soon as my feet hit the bottom, the figure suddenly pointed the silver pistol at me.

"Ah, so the monster does exist." He sneered. He knew? But how?

"Your life ends tonight, creature." And with that, he pulled the trigger. From that point on, everything was moving in slow-motion. I could hear the scream of my mother as she watched in horror as the gleaming, silver bullet inched closer to my skull. Common sense told me to move, but fate held me fast. I could remember closing my eyes and praying that somehow, the bullet wouldn't hit me. I knew it was impossible and it was useless wasting my last thoughts on that, but I still hoped it would miss. I waited for the bullet to drill through my skull, waited for my last moment, but it never came. I opened my eyes to see the figure, shrouded in black, rooted to the spot out of shock, and my mother, obviously relieved but still surprised, gaped at me. I felt around my forehead and felt…air? No, no, more like the faintest mist. I turned around to a mirror hanging right behind me, and nothing could prepare me from what I saw. A hole, about the size of a coin and the color of a smoky grey, was marked upon my forehead.

'What?' I thought as I examined the opening. I then felt at the back of my hair, and I once again felt the same misty feeling through my curls. I looked down, finding the bullet lying on the floor, its metal exterior shining in the light. I turned around, just as the intruder regained he sense.

"Monster!" he called, and the gun was pointed at me again in seconds. My mother jumped to my rescue and tried to pry the gun away from the man's grip.

"Run, Seria! Run as fast as you can and don't look back!" she said motioning towards the door as she struggled with the man.

"But mother-"

"Go now!" and I bolted out before anything else could happen. But just as I was fleeing, I heard a gunshot, and a monstrous cry.

The cry kept echoing in my head, causing more tears to rush from my eyes. Knowing that scream was the last thing I'll ever hear from my mother was tearing me apart. The rain beat down on my face and the tears stung my eyes. The only thing I wanted to do was join my mother, but she wouldn't have wanted that. So I took her advice; I ran and ran…and I never looked back.
