Tokyo, japan

Midnight

It was pitch black out, almoat to the point that you couldn't see even five feet in front of you. The only light came from the stars as the half full moon was slowly swalllowed up by dark clouds. Not many people would be out on this type of night. But there was one person. A girl. And she was running as fast as her legs would carry her.

"Running, I have to keep running," the girl was shouting frantically at herself in the thoughts only she could hear. "I can't let them catch me." The girl was gasping for breathe as she had been running for hours on end trying to flee from her "parents." The girl was adopted by the same people that she was curently trying to run away from. And by trying, meaning she tried once before but failed. She has tried multiple times really.

The girl could hear the men yelling her name repetedly asking where she was at. They were saying things about how she would be safe and warm. It was all a lie.

Safire, the girl who was curently still running, wasn't a 'normal' child. When she was 5 years old her family was in a terrible crash. She remembered that day perfectly. The twisted convolted metal surounding her, the heavy sent of toxins and blood in the air clinging to her clothes. Also the smell of burning flesh. And finally, The realization that she was the only survivor.

Safire had been sent to am orphanage in a town close to where she lived. It was there that she met two scientists who were looking forward to adopting a child. More like scouting for experiments. The two payed the orphanage a lot of money to just take her and not fill in the papers witch would take at the very least a year and a half to get processed. Safire had apparently been up to their standards because she was who they took.

"No more," she chanted to herself. "No more. No more experiments... no more pills...no more needles!" Safire ran because she couldn't take what they were doing to her anymore. It was torture; anytime day or night, whenever they were struck with an idea they would experiment on her. All of the poking and prodding and slicing of skin was just too much.

Safire had escaped the cramped dog kennel she was kept in at about 9:45. Between 9:30 and 9:50 the place was ungarded because the gaurds were switching posts. And it was midnight now, so she had been running for little over two hours. Safire had no clue as to wether she would have to go back to the place she called hell or not; it all depended on if she was caught. She desperetly hoped and prayed to god that she wasn't.

Safire had made her way into the park. The world was quiet for a second, the calm before the storm. Safire heard the shrap ringning cliping sound from hard soled shoes. Not thinking clearly enough at the moment, her brain to occupied of thoughts of recapture, divied into bushes that would hardly conceal a squirel let alone a ten year old girl. She was hardly breathing for fear of being caught.

The sound turned out to be the heals of a teenage girl and her date out for a stroll.

Safire sighed in relief and relaxed for a brief moment before crawling from the bushes. She thought that she had finally gotten awayfrom all the pain and torture.

She sighed in relief and the slowly crawled out of the bushes thinking that she had finally gotten away from all the torture.

In the next few seconds a controlled sort of chaos erupted like lava from a volcano. Someone had quietly walked up behind safire and quickly threw their arms around her waist. She struggled as mush as she could but her body was exhausted from running. She was lifted of the ground and a hand with a rag was shoved violently into her face. Safire held her breath knowing the rag was doused with something to render her useless. She held out for a long while but the burning in her lungs forced get to breathe. The moment that she did she felt dizzy and her eyelids started to drop. Everything was blurry and her limbs felt like a ton of bricks.

Another person strutted up to the men holding Safire. He took her from the others carrying her bridal style. He looked down at her and whispered in her ear, "I guess your plan didn't work out to well did it? My little kitten, you will be coming back home with us forever." The man laughed loudly sending violent chills down her spine.

And that was when hatever diety was watching over her gave her mercy; she blacked out, not knowing what was going to happen to her.
