The New Girl.
Chloe White wakens suddenly on her cold hard makeshift bed. There has been a strange noise from somewhere down stairs. She stills herself and holds her breath. The room is dark and cold, it smells mouldy but she is not sure wither that is the room or the damp blankets she was using to try and keep herself warm. She hears the noise again and gasps throwing her hand over her mouth. That is definitely the sound of someone moving downstairs. Her body is completely frozen and she wills herself to get up. It takes her a moment to will her body to move, she slowly removes the covers from herself and stuff then into her backpack. The noise nears and she can hear whispered voices.
"She is in there I can hear her heart racing." A female voice says. I gasp and rush to the window.
"Chloe White, come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded." Someone shouts from the other side of the door. Chloe freezes at the window. The man on the other side sighs and starts to kick the door. The door cracks. And with one more kick the door flies off its hinges. All she sees is a gun come through the door and that is all she needs to get the hell out. She dives through the window she lands awkwardly on her wrist and climbs onto her knees. Spot lights are trained on her and she is blinded. She blinks and rubs her eyes. She sees a tall broad figure walk slowly towards her and she scurries to the wall, truly trapped now.
"Chloe White?" The voice says trying to sound strong but there is a definite hint of worry somewhere there.
"Yes." Chloe says holding up her hands to try and see who is advancing slowly on her.
"I am Bill Harken, we have been looking for you for some time."
"Why? Why are you chasing me?"
"We are trying to help you; we are trying to get you some help."
"I don't need help; well I didn't until you people started chasing me." Chloe shouts angrily. Bill stops in his tracks.
"It's ok Chloe, just relax." Bill says. Chloe glares at him.
"Relax? I have guns pointed at me, how am I supposed to relax?" Chloe says shaking furiously now. Bill speaks into his collar.
"Everyone put your guns down." He says and he lowers his gun onto the floor. "I an not going to hurt you please Chloe, just relax."
Chloe was breathing heavily now and she was shaking her head.
"Get back! Leave me alone!" Chloe says curling in a ball.
"Chloe..?" Bill says backing up as he spoke.
"GET BACK!" she screams and Bill turns on his heel and runs. Chloe watches him as he runs and then all hell breaks loose. She catches fire and sends the police officers who are surrounding her flying. The house she is huddled against crumbles around her and she shakes violently as the heat subsides and vanishes as quickly as it came. She sits there smouldering slightly naked as the day she was born. There is a quick pain in her neck and her hand flies up to where there are two tranquiliser darts in her neck, she just manages a small laugh before her world turns to darkness.
The streams are flowing and trickling, the smell of the fresh water that she floats on, is like nothing else in the world. Mixed with the sweet smell of the soil and scented air surrounding the lake and streams Chloe never wants to leave this place. But when does anyone get what they really want? She is torn for her heavenly day dream by a flash of violent light assaulting her eyes. The beautiful smell obliterated by the smell of a hospital, clinical and clean. The light flashes from one eye to the other and Chloe feels a cold hand on her face. She clamps her eyes shut and the hand vanishes.
"Miss White? Can you please open your eyes?" says a soft male voice. She stills herself and strains her whole body, she then realises she is bound. Instantly she begins to panic and begins thrashing. "Please Miss White just relax." This aggravates her more and she begins to scream, seconds later there is another sharp scratch in the crook of her arm and she is back in the world of peace and darkness.
