Surviving Odessa: Preface

----------

I have to get away. He is dead, the cheerleader is not... just barely slipped through my fingers, that one. But that is unacceptable. I will be back, I will find her again. It shouldn't be too hard. Only because he was there to protect her did she escape. That won't happen again though, she will go home... and I will find her there.

For now... I had to leave.

The figure wove through the forest underbrush, his mind reeling but set on his course of action. He was therefore unaware of the man and woman in his path until he was directly in front of them. He stopped and his hands twitched, ready to be of use as soon as needed.

Now who are these people? They look like they have some interesting talent...

"You don't want to hurt me," the woman said in a cherry-sweet voice. The man blinked, that was strange. Almost as if...

"We just need to talk. You can tell me all about yourself. But first..."

What is that? My mind, I can't... the man glanced to his left, at the strange black man, who hadn't said a thing. He'd sworn there were heard two voices. Not the one that was now vibrating on the inside of his mind.

"Go to sleep. You need to sleep."

There it was, the double meaning in her words, I can feel them. Her words were thick and heavy in the back of his head. But yes... he did need to sleep. He was incredibly tired.

And the hand on his face, pushing him into unconsciousness didn't help either, and it was not intentionally that the figure collapsed onto the pine-carpeted forest floor.
