Running

Some days I wish I could start over. Make everything different, try to be normal. Well we all know that's never going to happen.

As I'm running I can hear the hooves of the charging horse, and his rider, the one I'm running from. I jump over a log that has been strike by lighting, and my dress gets caught and I fly backward,

"NO!" I scream in frustration.

I hear the horse get closer and closer, I rip my aqua blue dress, the one my father gave me before he died, my mother killed him. Nice right? I keep on running, my feet bleeding from the rocks that scraped my feet, scars that re-opened; I could hear the sticks that were scraping against my bones. While I'm running I'm going to tell you my back ground story. As you already know my mother killed my father when I was young, I watched as she did it. She is the queen of witches and my father was the king of the water people and I am their daughter, and my name is Nawfar. That means water lily my father picked it out for me. After my mother killed my dad she made me do everything that she wanted and now she is making me get married to the creep who is chasseing me his name is Donavan he is the prince of vampires which means dark warrior. He rules Dark Island and believe me when I tell you this, DO NOT COME HERE ON VACATION! All the people here are either vampires or witches or both mixed together, that is what Donavan is which is not good not good at all.

When I was running I looked behind me and saw nothing. I didn't hear any more hooves hitting the ground. I saw nothing so I slowed to a stop which I know was a bad Idea but I have been running all day and I was tired. When I turned around standing there with his horse at his side was Donavan smiling at me.

"Time out!" I screamed.

I was breathing so deeply, and I could hear my heart pumping a million times a minute.

"Well that's not fair" said Donavan in a 'sweet' voice "I was about to grab you and carry you off to the wonderful castle!"

Sarcasm, I could sense it.

"You call that wonderful? HA please, my vacation house is better than that nightmare!" I screamed at him "and I won't be going anywhere with you ever! You devilish creep!"

He stared at me with blank eyes. Then exploded.

"Well that's not your choice now is it! It's your mother's choice! And you or I have no word in it!"

We both went silent then he sighed.

"Nawfar, I love you I really do I don't get why we can't just get along!"

I started to laugh historically.

"You love me? Ha! Sure you show that vary well!" I pointed to the teeth marks I had on my body "This is not how you show someone love Donavan" sounding a little bit gentler "You hurt me by doing this, and I don't love you back."

He looked to the ground, I felt bad for the guy but he is still a creep.

"I'll buy you a new dress, the same one" he said "let me do that at least".

"No need, I can do that myself, noting a little magic can't fix. Xif eht nekorb ssed taht seil no ym yedob" and the rip disappeared. I looked up and smiled but I was picked off my feet and then zooming past trees.

"No time outs" Donovan said.
