Faster, I need to run faster, they're closing in. My legs are killing me but I need to… my breath is short, it's doing nothing to help my headache. Stop don't think about unwanted thoughts, just, just run. I hear noises behind, grunting from them and the crashing noises they cause by bumping into things in the hallway. I hear them coming closer and closer and closer. What was I told again? Right, they can hear well, really well but they can't see.
I take a turn and hide in a closet. My hands come over my mouth and I try to not make any noise. Please, let them pass just like that. I try to believe in these words and maybe… I hear them passing by, ever so slowly. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears and I hope whatever higher being there is out there that they don't hear it. Minutes tick on the clock feeling like hours, I lean on the door and listen. After I'm sure I can't hear anything, I take a deep breath and relax, as much as I can.
I'm crying, it's been hours now, perhaps, hours since the district's Barrier fell and chaos have come. I'm crying for my mother, who was one of the firsts to… to die. I'm crying because it's been maybe over sixteen hours since I started running and it's my first break from all the tension since then. I'm crying because of the past, I'm crying because of the future, I'm crying… what future?
Please read and review! And tell me what you think because I don't know if I should continue!
