A KILLER'S EMBRACE

CHAPTER 1

She ran and ran down the alleyways. Her red hair flew behind her like fire. Her clothes, still on one piece, were glued to her from sweating so much.

'Oh GOD! Sora! Please be OK!' her mind screamed as she continued to run inthe pouring rain. Ligthing flashed. "AAHH!" she screamed.

It was so dark out, the poor girl had no idea where she was or where she was going, as long as it was away from HIM.

(Back a few hours)

It was the year 2006. May to be exact. Kairi was a regular 15 year old. She had a very close friend named Sora who was about a couple inches taller than her. Both had met at school. They had so much in common, they had hit it off. They had been best friends ever since…maybe something more.

Their lives were plain. Nothing adventurous ever happened…until that night Sora brought her to a club further in the city.

Their parents set straight rules for the date, and all were followed. "I understand," said the two of them in unison. Sora and Kairi got up off the couch and went outside to Kairi's dad who was going to drive them.

Kairi wore a medium length red shiny dress. Her hair was down. Sora wore a black shirt that had the word "WINNER" plastered on it. To Kairi, he was her winner. He wore blue jeans with the shirt.

The Club was called Club 13. Sora and Kairi got out of the car. "Thanks dad," said Kairi as she kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be back at midnight to pick you two up," he said. "Sounds good!" yelled Sora as he waved good-bye.

Kairi was excited to be at a club. She walked into the club with Sora on her arm. They went in just in time too, for it was beginning to rain. Thunder and lightning followed the rain.

It was an underage club, so their was adult supervision and no alcohol. "They'll be fine," said Kairi's dad as he returned home to his wife.

Kairi and Sora went in and were met by blasting music and kids jumping up and down dancing. The whole room was a swirl of color. The probe lights were blinking on and off, making everything seem to move in slow motion.

"I think we're going to have fun tonight!" yelled Sora over the blasting music. "WHAT!" asked Kairi as her and Sora made their way to the dance floor. Both danced to the music with ease.

A wet black hooded figure had watched the two kids from the top of the nearby building's roof. "Well, looks like things are going to get interesting tonight," he said as he jumped onto the Club's roof.

He landed with ease on his feet, like a cat with perfect balance in the water puddles that had formed from the rain. But even balance couldn't keep his black hood from falling thanks to the momentum of the jump. With his hood off, you could get a good look at his features.

He had medium length white hair. He stood a little under 6ft. His eyes were hidden with a black blindfold. He smiled as he looked down. Just below, inside the club, Kairi and Sora were dancing.

Slowly he jumped off the back of the roof. He silently opened the back door to the club and easily blended in with the crowd of young teenagers. "Security is slacking," he said to himself. He was sure to put his hood back up.

He slowly made his way over to a dancing Kairi and Sora from behind. He danced along, so to not to look suspicious. Then he slowly put his arms around Kairi's small frame, which caused her to yelp and jump out of his reach.

Sora had seen this and instantly put Kairi behind him, in a protective embrace. "Go find your own girl," Sora said. The back figure just smiled.

Sora and Kairi went to get a drink, but Sora was pulled back by the hooded figure. his arms were pinned behind his back by the figure. "I have found my girl," he said then he threw Sora into the edge of a table.

The music had stopped and the lights were on. Kairi put her hands up to her face in shock. "SORA!" she screamed as she ran to Sora, but her small body was caught by the black figure.

"You will not talk to him ever again! You belong to me now," he hissed at her. "Let me go!" screamed Kairi whio was tuggging her arm out of this guys's grip. Finally, he let her go, but that was only because securtiy was coming. "Who do you think you are?" asked Kairi backing away from him.

He walked over to Kairi put his face right into hers. He smiled as he took off his hood. "My name is Riku...and don't you forget it," he said. Kairi spit in his face. "take that you freak," she said then with all her strength, ran out the door and intot he darkness. The rain hit her face as she ran down the alleys.

'Sora, I'm sorry for not checking on you. I'll loose this looser and then come back for you', she thought. Riku smiled. "Bad move girl," he said as he took off after her.
