Prologue
It's dark, I can hear him coming. I break into a sprint, my sneakers pound the pavement. I don't know if it will be enough. He closes the distance.

"Bella! How's my best girl today?" Mike asked sweetly. I wanted to puke but instead I placed a kiss on his lips.
"Good thanks Mike." He kissed me. It was different to when I kissed him. But that's probably due to the fact Mike kisses like a demented washing machine. By now you're probably thinking 'who's this dork.' And that's probably a fair thing to be thinking. Mike is my boyfriend. It was a dare. Angela dared me to do it and I was to gutless to say no. And then Mike got all attached and I was too weak to break it off. Recently it has been good to have Mike around. See he's rather big and scary and some stranger has been stalking me. I can't tell my dad, he's the police chief and he'd freak if he found out. So I have to deal on my own.
Present
A hand clamped down on my shoulder.
"Why do you run lamb?" Said a harsh velvet voice in an angry whisper. I don't know why I said it but I did.
"Because I was scared of the lion hunting me."
"Don't worry it'll all be over soon." He moved in to bite me. I span and kisses his lips. Giving my head enough time to tell my feet to run.
I fled for what felt like hours. I turned into a large modern house. I didn't care who lived there. I just banged as hard as I could with fists. The door creaked open.
"Hello lamb!"
"Shit."
