Riven's point of view.
I sat drinking my coffee. Holding the diary I had keep close to me since that day, can feel my thoughts drifting to her.
* "We can't stay together anymore now! Were on different sides I'm a runner and you're the police" she says coldly, all the emotions had drained from her face and eyes " good bye Riven hopefully we won't cross paths again" she says turning and running off across the roof top. *
My grip is tightening on the diary; it's all I have to remember her. How can I be so stupid to let her out of my life? If only I had one way to return it to her then I maybe I can move on. And as If god has heard my prayers a buzzing comes down the radio, "All cops in the area we have a runner at queens park" funny? I'm sat in the café across from there, I look out the window, and a girl that is stood in the park has short midnight blue hair wearing a red midriff top hanging above her belly button, with black tight shorts. Tattoos black tribal ones down her right arm, and a star tattoo next to her right eye, on her pale skin and deep blue eyes. I slap my hands down on my table; my knees are buckling, could it be her? She turns looks at me; I can feel my heat racing.
"It is her" I breathe. I run out, she looks my way I can see something spark in her eye.
"Put your hands up!" screams one of the cops waving a gun. From what I have heard around all cops are to open fire on any runner that is caught. The cop that is screaming at her is young and an obvious noob to the job. I can see his finger moving for the trigger. I dive at the runner to knock her out the way as the bullet scrapes my arm as the pain shots up I grab the girls arm pull her along.
"What the hell! You're an officer! Why are you helping?" she yells pulling her arm out of my grip. I'm losing my eyesight, and I can't feel my arm. I hold my arm where the wound is and trying to focus on her face.
"I guess you don't remember me" I sigh leaning back on a wall to slide down, I have no idea where we are, I just ran, but I'm glad she's here. My mind is going blank…..
"OI wake up!" someone exclaims shaking my arm. I sit up blinking a couple of times; I couldn't recognize anything that's surrounded me. It is al dark and appears to be black expect in the corner there is a computer where the little light is coming from.
"hey your awake finally, by the way you are new runner, I'll be training you" next thing I know the girl I saved has me be the collar, "and tell anyone you're a cop Riven and they'll kill you" I just nod, I look down my clothes have been change, I'm a little worried who and how, I ain't the lightest person. I'm now wearing a red vest top with joggers that go tight around the ankle to trainers.
"Ok you know my name what's yours" I challenge I know who she is but messing with her is so much fun. A smile flashes on her face.
"No you do well in training today and I'll tell ya mine"
"So what do I call you for now?"
"You'll call me miss I'm your teacher remember?" she grabs my hand I pray she doesn't't feel the electric flowing through her hand in to mine. I follow her up a fire escape, I'm pretty sure she could make it up with using stairs, but as I'm new she didn't want to make me look a fool…. I think?
"Here we are" she spins round at the top of the stairs, to face me, we was so close I could feel her breath of my face, it was intoxicating, she was a drug and I was addicted. She looks at me for a minute, something going though her head I just wish I knew what it was. She turns on her heel and hurries towards a sectioned off area with poles and billboard, then a zip wire across to another building. I gulp slightly, knowing this is not going to be easy.
"What happens if I can't do this?" I laugh masking my fear. She grins over her shoulder.
"Just watch closely and don't fall" she smirks before running off, scaling the wire fence, hitting the floor as she carry's on running, she almost fly's alongside the billboard, she floats across a pole to the zip line, but stops as she reaches it. "Now you try!" she calls, smiling wildly.
I gulp a little, worried, if I screw this up then, I'm dead in both situations. I breathe deep calming myself before taking off leaping the fence in one move, rolling across the floor to soften my landing, leaping up using the balls of my feet, running across the billboard and finally launching myself across the pole, to her.
"That was good for a first timer" she says looking shocked. I smile breathing heavy.
"Piece of cake really" I smirk. Till she smirk's back.
"Ok follow me then" she says leaping on to the zip wire pushing herself down.
After hours of agonizing training I'm back in the dark room, I look to the pizza box longingly, as my stomach audibly complained about the lack of food.
"Musa" breaks the silence; I look round suddenly staring at her. "That's my name, don't look so shocked" she laughs. I put my head down smirking.
"Been awhile" I whisper, feeling my heart race and my first clench. Why now did my emotions have to show? She stands up turning her back to me, I watch her body tense, first clench.
"Why did you save me?" she ask sternly turning her head slightly.
"I think you know the answer" I yell jumping up and grabbing her arm. She turns her head away.
"I've moved on Riven" she whispers so quietly I almost didn't catch it. My arm goes limp falling away from her arm. She turns around to face me, looking at me hard."I've found someone with the same passion as me Riven" I step back trying to get away, "you waited too long Riven we are nothing but friends, if even that" advancing towards me.
"Friends I get it" I say looking towards the floor. "hope this guy is good for you" as I walk round her and climb though the hole across the rooftops to get as far away as I could.
