Crossing The Line
Prologue
Naruto's POV
I am running, running on and on. My breathing is shallow and labored and my legs are shaking uncontrollably but I can't stop running. If I stop they will get me, they will get me and hurt me. I can't stand the pain it hurts so much. They don't stop chasing me and I can't take anymore or I'll collapse. I look over my shoulder to see that they are catching up. I scramble into an alley only to see that it is block. I franticly look back but the villagers have already covered the only exit. I know I can't escape the pain so I curl up into a ball so it hurts less. They smile and walk towards me, a mob of about twenty-five people, all carrying a weapon of some sort like a pan or bat all I know is that they will hurt. I brace myself and feel the first blow across my arm. Then all of the sudden pain is everywhere. I'm ripped from my protective ball as they slice, cut, and bash me everywhere. I open my mouth to scream only to have a dirty rag stuffed into y mouth. After hours I'm left there bloody and crying in the alley. I wait till the pain subsides a bit then stand up shaking violently and walk to my apartment. As I open the buildings door the manager looks up and scowls when he sees me but quickly grins when he realizes the state I'm in. He walks off muttering something about finally getting revenge on some demon. I slowly walk off to my apartment and shut the door.
