Alone?

by Obsidianhighlights

A short story I had to come up with on the dot for my English class. Miranda is not normal;she has horrific,glowing blood red eyes.When her parents and brother are horrifically murdered by a mysterious man, she goes on the run from his group along with other people like her. Here she tells the tale of what it's like to have no one left after she loses everyone she ever cared about.

1. Chapter 1

A/N: I have posted this story for many reasons. One is to show you guys that I AM still writing, but my English teacher wanted everyone to write their own short story about anything (though it had to end with a cliffhanger) so -,-

Another reason is that I didn't want it to go to waste and to know what you think of it.

I hope you enjoy :)

Alone?

Chapter 1

My throat closed up. My heart started thundering harder and harder against my ribcage as my vision started to spin. There was a beam of light, only mere inches away from my slender form. Hiding in the shadows, I tensed as the flashlight slowly crept closer.

"I've found you!" I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for an impact. An impact which never came. The cries and shouts of a man then echoed desperately throughout the alleyways as the policeman hauled him away. I opened my eyes and released a heavy sigh. As the noise gradually faded, I knew it was too late to save him. Guilt plagued my body.

I should have saved him. Now, there's only me.

Slipping into the darkness, I ran as fast as my legs would allow me to go. When my vision started to blur, I blinked and felt a warm liquid roll down my cheek. I quickly realized than I was crying and swiped the tears away.

It was then I remembered that he was the only one who knew how to get back to our base. I was too young, too absent minded to even bother with learning its location. I never thought that I would end up being alone. I was too cocky and overconfident to even care.

His name was Tyler, the one who I had just let the policeman take away. With his baby blue eyes, blonde hair and round face, he was so young and innocent to be involved with something as deadly as this.

Another tear fell as I tried to comprehend what had just happened. None of us wanted to be a part of this; on the run from a government force. We didn't choose this life.

But, after Tyler's capture, I'm the only one living it.

A/N: Like? Hate? Once again I mention that the main purpose of me uploading this is to show you lot why I haven't been updating (it's not easy being asked to write a small story without any inspiration).
