The alarm clock was ringing loudly in Amaria's ear. With a groan, she got out of bed and turned it off. She went to the bathroom and back to her bedroom to get dressed. She put on a pair of jeans, black tennis shoes, a black long-sleeve T-shirt, and a gray wristband with a small chain attached to it. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen. "Happy Birthday!" her parents yelled in unison. Amaria had almost forgotten, today was her fourteenth birthday. Her parents had fixed her a special breakfast, pancakes and scrambled eggs. After eating her fill, Amaria grabbed her backpack and dashed out of the house to school.
Almost running, she arrived at the bus stop only to see that it had already left. Amaria sighed. She continued running in the direction of her school. Suddenly, she heard footsteps that sounded like they were coming from behind. She quickly turned around, but no one was there. I must be paranoid, she told herself. So, she continued on, not wanting to dwell on the thought. Amaria ducked down an alleyway that she knew was a shortcut and would save her some time. A hand grasped her shoulder which made her stop dead in her tracks.
She turned around to see who it was. A tall, fairly young man clad in a white suit and trench coat stood behind her. His hair covered his right eye, only the left one visible, which was silver. Glasses rested on his nose, one red stud earring in each ear. Amaria questioned him, "Who are you?" "Who I am is not important. What is important is that I've found you, my dear." the mysterious man replied. An odd smile formed on his lips that frightened Amaria. She questioned him further, "What do you mean?" as she tried to shrug his hand off of her shoulder. His smile became wider and he pulled her closer.
She pushed him away, but in the process she had fallen down. The man looked down at her and said, "Oh my, you shouldn't have done that..." His right eye suddenly lit up and as she stared at it, Amaria became paralyzed. "Oh yes, you will surely regret the day you met me." the man said as Amaria started to lose consciousness. The last thing she saw was the man holding a gun and laughing sadistically.
Author's note: Most parts of the story will be considerably short. Sorry about that. Anyway, please review and let me know what you think about the story. I've only had it reviewed once by a friend, so I'll be glad to take good and bad criticism alike.
