I don't own any of these characters…but if I did…lets just say things would be different.
I ran and ran. He was after me. I couldn't see him but his running steps could be heard from behind me. I didn't want to turn around; I wouldn't be able to stand looking at him. His eyes were black and full of hatred. His head was bald and I knew that through every light ray from the lamps, it would be reflecting the light. His beard small and he had a moustache too. His broad shoulders and big boned body made him look strong and kind of scary, even for me. I guess you could say that he didn't have the type of looks any girl would really be after.
I rounded the corner to a familiar street and ran straight into something hard but warm. "I'm sorry." I said without even bothering to look at who it was.
All I was worried about was running to get away from him. I didn't look at the face of the person I collided with but as I started to walk around him ready to run again, I felt a hand grab my arm. I screamed. I thought that he had me.
"Shhh, Lil, it's me. Lilly." The voice sounded familiar. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him. I looked up, "Scotty? Scotty is that you?" I asked in a voice just above a whisper.
"Yeah Lilly, it's me. You all right?" he asked me. I could hear the worry in his voice.
I suddenly remembered. "Please Scotty; we have to get out of here." I said desperately as I pulled away from him and looked nervously down the end of the alley behind me.
He must have seen the panic in my eyes because Scotty didn't ask any questions; he just grabbed my arm and gently guided me up the steps to his apartment. Once we were inside, I let out a great big sigh that I didn't know I had been holding in. Scotty's arm directed me over to his couch and we sat down together.
After a while, I decided that I owed him an explanation for everything that had happened so far that night. He sensed that something was up but he didn't push me to tell him what was wrong, he simply just sat next to me and silently waited for me to tell him.
"He was chasing me Scotty!" I said in a rush. "I saw his gun. He tried to grab me from behind but I was too quick. I ran and ran. He was following me. I don't know why. I knew I had to get somewhere safe. I rounded the corner of the alley and ran into you. He's still out there Scotty!" I started to cry hysterically. He simply just held me close and whispered comforting words in my ear.
After a while, I heard a knock on Scotty's front door. I grabbed him tightly. "Don't answer it Scotty! Please don't answer it. It could be him. Don't answer it." I whispered harshly, grabbing Scotty tighter.
"I'll be careful Lilly, I wouldn't let him hurt you. You know that don't you?" He said softly, taking my hands in his.
I nodded. Of course I trusted Scotty. I would trust him with my life!
