"Ugh" I suddenly moan feeling a sharp pain that occurred unexpectedly in my back, waking me up from a dreamless sleep. Lazily, I force to squint my eyes open trying to get adjusted to the light, but realizing their was no light, only darkness. I arch my back bringing my hands up in the process, but right away being forced back to were they were. Confused, I reach for my hand and feel a metal bracelet wrapped around my wrist. I run my fingers around the bracelet feeling a chain attached to the bottom of it. Suddenly I panicked and could feel a sweat start to break across my forehead knowing that I was being helt by someone, somewhere.
"Hello…anyone there?" I mumble feeling the corner of my eyes start to water. I sniff a few times and blink rapidly trying to prevent me to start crying. "Hello?" I question louder and suddenly I hear something shuffle a foot away from me. Slowly, I edge myself closer to where the movement came from roaming my hands out in front of me.
"Are…are you OK?" A low voice asks from where the movement was. I jump back surprised but relieved to find that I was not alone in this strange place.
"Who are you?" I squeaked out wondering if he was the bad or good guy ignoring his question to me.
"I'm Zach…" He sighs sounding really tired from how heavy his voice was.
"ummm do I know you?" I ask, inching my way in his direction to try to get a view of his features.
"No, but I know you." He mumbles so soft that I could barley hear him "…and your probably wondering who I am and don't worry, I am not a stalker…well kinda." He chuckles at the last part making me confused on how that could possibly be funny.
"and…" I urge on, finally close enough for me to try to scan his body in the dark. He was muscular and looked around my age, maybe 23. His eyes were closed and one in particular was bruised badly. A deep gash ran across his cheek with dried blood all over his face. Disgusted, I look away trying not to puck at the sight.
"Well to sum it up, I have been trailing you for over six months, examining everything you have been doing."
"And why where you following me?"
"Trying to keep you safe, which I obviously did not do my job." He says gritting his teeth together in anger.
"Keep me safe from what!" I cry out closing my eyes thinking of something I could have possibly done wrong.
"I really don't want to talk about it now…" He whispers. For the first time he opens his eyes looking straight at me and right away I could see sadness in them.
"I'm sorry..." I mumble and suddenly feel tired again, laying my head on the rough floor closing my eyes.
"Don't apologize you did absolutely nothing wrong." He says and I hear him shifting his position. Suddenly I feel his arms come around my waist, lifting my upper body onto his chest. "I figured you may have wanted a more comfortable pillow other then a hard wood floor." He explains and I feel him shrug underneath me. His arms stay around my waist and I couldn't help but feel safe to where I lay. I move my hands up to his shoulders feeling the chain on my back move in the process and I slightly lift my head up to see that the other half of the chain was attached to Zach. I sigh relived that if I was going anywhere, he would be with me…well for now.
OK so I just come up with this amazing idea for a story and couldn't pass it up. But you guys might have some...a lot a questions and I will greatfully answer them! I feel like I am rushing it and I know it's really short but hopefully future chapters will be longer.
Now I have one question for you, is it worth going on?
