Secrets and Lovers

After escaping from her father, Aliana must continue her life. She now works for the FBI and her team has no idea what she's been through. Even though she escaped, her father was never caught and she has no idea whats in store for her and her team. The past events will always haunt her.

I was running through the woods as fast as I can. All I knew was he couldn't get me. I had to survive. It was dusk, and, in the woods, it seemed like it was midnight.

There was tree branches everywhere, as were trees' roots. I had been running for about an hour.

I could hear his footsteps behind me, trying to catch up with me. All of a sudden, I fell face first into the dirt. I'd tripped over a tree root and I'd cried out.

I scrambled trying to get up quick, but, when I tripped over the root, I broke my ankle.

Even though he was close to where I was, as soon as I screamed he knew exactly where I was.

I finally managed to get up, but I couldn't run as I've been, not with my ankle broke.

While I was trying to get in a position to walk, I could hear him getting closer.

A few more minutes passed, when all at once, I started to see a dim light, symbolizing the end of the woods.

I'm almost out, I thought to myself. I could hear the noise of cars driving on a road and people having conversations.

I was about to scream for somebody, anybody, to help me, when I felt a sweaty hand grab my shoulder. I started screaming, trying to get away from him . . . . .
