Her legs hurt like hell, but she kept going. They were right behind her.
Willing to kill a defenseless girl, because of whatever it was inside her
that made it so she could control fire. The hate that she had seen in their
eyes... they all wanted her dead now. Even her parents. They didn't
understand that it wasn't her fault, that she didn't ask for this. She
turns a corner, and keeps going. She knows it's not long now. Hell, some of
them are thirty, and can run three times as fast as her. Jenna can hear her
heart pounding, but if she stops, she dead. She she keeps running. Past the
school, the playground, the mall, and she turns left again. If she slows
down, she's as good as gone. They're yelling so loud, she knows they're
catching up, so she ducks into an alleyway and waits for them to pass.
And when they do, she goes home, grabs her wallet and bank card, and leaves home, knowing she can't ever return.
