INSANE KILLER
Breath came in shallow pants, her legs trembling as they held up her weight. Silver eyes were wide, filled with a numb shock as she stopped to lean against the wall, trying to get air into her oxygen deprived lungs. Faintly she could hear the soft tapping of shoes against the floor, echoing down the hallway. Her breath hitched, heart rate picking up, fear replacing the shock. She was scared. A killer was after her at this very moment and here she was gasping for air and leaning against a wall. Small chuckles echoed around the hallways, bouncing around the concrete walls. "Did you give up, Doctor Rains?" His voice was still soft, deep and full of cocky arrogance only a professional could posses. The amusement in his tone made her growl, anger crashing through her as she realized he was playing with her. Toying with the fear she held hidden within her. And he knew it. He knew she was scared of him. Her silver eyes narrowed with her hate as she growled out defiantly, "You don't scare me! I won't give up. I won't loose your game." The last words faded off, a laugh replacing the words.
"Yes," he drawled, his words slow, almost as if he was thinking the words over in his head, "I suppose you won't. But, Doctor, you won't win if you just stand there. You know what happens if you loose don't you?" It was a rhetorical question. She knew her life would be put on hold. A flash of regret clashed against the anger within her, making tears fill into her silver eyes and leak out of the corners.
"Hey, will you do me a favor?" She called out softly, her voice breaking slightly. The foot steps paused, signaling her to continue. She took a breath, ragged and painful, "Call me by my name one last time." Complete silence and just when she thought there was no hope he spoke at last.
"Angel. Angel. I'll say it as many times as you want." And he did. Over and over again he said her name. He called her as he always used to. "My lovely, lovely, Angel," he whispered. Then, she did cry. She cried as she took off running, the pain and regret and anger breaking her mind.
"Run."
