COMING INTO THE LIGHT

Mina walked quickly down the street, it was bad enough that she had to go out by herself but it was getting dark now too. Her brother would throw a fit if he knew she had gone out alone, at night. But she had no choice this time. It wasn't like the other times when she had snuck away just to be alone in the city.

Then she felt it. That feeling where you know you're being watched. The shivers up your spine, and the bad feeling in your gut. Mina walked faster. She new it was him. She tried to deny the fact but every part of her body told her it was him. She walked faster.

She knew she shouldn't have gone, but she really didn't have a choice. They didn't have any food. On normal days she wasn't allowed to go out alone, at least not since the threat. David, her brother, always went with her, or one of his friends did. It was rather annoying but after a couple of close calls Mina knew that her brother was actually right this time about wanting to protect her. Then there was a fight. It had happened about a week ago. Mina didn't know the whole story, which wasn't unusual because no one ever told her anything. All she knew was that her brother's friends had brought David home, and he was unconscious and bleeding from several severe wounds. She had nursed him back to health like any good sister should. But then he got sick, it was horrible and all she could do at this point was keep him warm and try to get him to eat. Then yesterday they had run out of food. She hoped he'd still be asleep when she got home.

If I get home, she thought, and then she mentally kicked herself for thinking something like that. Why am I so paranoid?! Oh maybe it's because everyone has always protected me! she thought, somewhat bitterly as she quickened her pace yet again. Mina breathed a small sigh of relief as soon as she reached a place that was crowded with people. She thought that she'd be safe there, too many witnesses. After gathering together some food that would hopefully last them several days Mina hurried back home. She could feel him watching her the whole way, but she just kept walking as fast as she can. Once she reached the apartment Mina locked the door and went to check on her brother. Thankfully, he was asleep still.
