Facing your fears
Chapter one: Keep running!
Running, running, running. That was what Darren had been doing all day and it was what he was doing now. Down through Vampire Mountain, down into the tunnels that twisted and turned in all directions like a huge maze, never stopping. He had no idea how far he had ran where he was now but he didn't plan stopping. He knew that the thing behind him, the thing following him, whatever it was, was a lot worse the running for the rest of his life.
But why was he running? He was a vampire prince and he was armed. He was strong and fast, he could take on anything. So why was he running? Was it because he was scared of what was behind him? Even though he had no reason to be scared. If he turned to face the beast behind him he would have more chance of living than running and waiting for it to catch up and kill him.
Darren had made up his mind. Soon enough he would have run out of tunnels anyway. He skidded to a halt and turned, lifting his one and only sword high above his head, to face his fears.
Chapter two coming soon.
