My first ORG 13 fic, tell me what you think. :)
She was running. To where, she had no clue, but she had to get away. Away from the man chasing her, away from everything she once knew and loved. Away from her life.
She was sure he was close behind her, being she could hear his heavy footsteps as he ran, weapon clenched in his left hand and a scowl on his face.
She had to get away.
Tears were freely running down her face, and soft whimpers escaped her every time she exhaled. Who ever this guy was, he wasn't giving up easily and she was started to get discouraged at the fact that she couldn't see where she was going. It was too dark.
She wouldn't dare yell out, for that would just make the man angrier, she had to find a house, or someone that could save her from this.
Before she knew what was happening, she ran into something, falling back onto the concrete. A gasp escaped her as she realized it was another man, black cloak covering his body and his face.
"Help…me…" she pleaded, standing to her feet.
"Please….he'll get me."
The cloaked figure didn't move or reply, but she took cover behind him anyway, holding onto both of his arms.
"Who? Who is after you?"
Startled that the man spoke up, the brunette jumped, but soon regained composure.
"I don't know who he is…but he wants me dead. Please…please help me."
The cloaked man nodded, and she almost missed the slight motion in the dark of the night.
Footsteps came upon the two, echoing in her ears.
With a flash of light, the cloaked figure rose his arms, two spiked circle weapons appearing in his hands. Before another second of time was wasted, fire shot out of the tips and the man who was once chasing the brunette, fell to the ground…dead.
"Oh…oh my god." She whispered, fear evident in her glowing blue eyes.
The cloaked man removed the hood from his face and gave a small smile.
"The name's Axel, got it memorized?"
"J-Jessica. Thank you…for helping me."
Axel let out a gentle chuckle.
"Don't go thanking me just yet."
"Why?"
Without a response, Axel grabbed Jessica's arm and opened a pathway to the darkness, taking her with him.
Did I do okay?
