Dru (POV)
I was sprinting now. At first the balls of my feet were dancing on pavement, gliding blissfully towards the exit of the new School I had to attend. I first thought, as I was running through the woods, that they caught me. I wasn't suppose to leave School grounds, and the thought of Ben and the Guards dragging me back for a lecture wasn't really what I had in mind.
Ben, or Benjamin, was the main Guard and my only friend at this dumb High School. Since School started and I was (again) the new kid, Ben the Guard had always been nice and protective of me. He was the only person I could come close to trust, yet still stuck to his job of lecturing and harassing all the students. My Dad hadn't been home for a couple days now, and so I decided to ditch class to search for clues around the house, as to were he might have gone.
So I was running. Once I had passed the exit doors, I felt a weird presence on my right. It was going almost the same pace I was, which was pretty fast considering I was born with super speed. Then another presence to my left, same speed. They were gaining on me. After a minute of consistent running, I was starting to doubt Ben was the one chasing me. He would have yelled for me to stop, then again, the others would have too. My doubt also came from the consistent speed. Nobody could outrun me… they couldn't even come close.
I turned my head fast to my left, then fast to my right. I was sprinting now. They were definitely not the Guards from School. Even though I took a quick glance, I could make out their horrid faces. They didn't look human… they didn't look real. As we ran, they started to gain speed, while I started to lack it. I couldn't lead them to the house, and I couldn't turn back… I was getting trapped.
At that exact moment, I realized my surroundings. A little ways behind the School were the Woods. It had always reminded me of Hogwarts with the Forbidden Forest behind it. Somewhere in the middle of these woods, there is a ditch. The ditch could fit a person and a half…a perfect hiding spot. Luckily said ditch was just a couple feet away. I went as fast as my feet could go, quickly gaining speed so that they were far enough away to make the jump.
Here goes nothing!, I thought just before I jumped into the ditch. In two seconds, the unheard sound of pattering feet glided almost god-like past the ditch. I waited till I knew they were gone, then adjusted my footing. In the ditch, each foot was on the opposite side of the "wall", holding me up. My hands were just below the rim of the opening, while my head was bent in an angle that made my hair become the lid to the ditch. From the outside, my hair looked like mud… but I bet my hair had mud in it anyway.
As I dropped and landed gracefully to the bottom, I realized it was tighter than I had thought. I had no room to move around, and all I could see was painted black darkness. All of a sudden, I heard a muffled cry of pain coming from my feet. I squinted down and picked my foot up. There, on the ground of the ditch, was a little girl. I screamed.
I hadn't written in a while and thought that I should give this story a try. I also noticed that there hasn't been many updates for fanfics lately so I wanted to write one. REVIEW BELOW!
