Run.

Please don't fail me now legs. Just for a little more. I need to get away. Just a little farther. I need to lose them.

The forest trees were passing by me left and right. The wind violently crashed onto my face and other bare parts of my skin.

I was running for my life at this moment. People were chasing me and I needed to put as much distance between me and them. If they do catch me again...who knows what. They'll probably put me in the simulator. I shiver at the thought of this.

I couldn't run forever. I was getting tired real fast. What happened to all the energy I had before? I couldn't have already drain myself out of everything I had. I needed to rest.

I started to slow down a bit. Once I completely stopped I realized that I couldn't hear footsteps anymore. I was safe for now. I laid up against a tree and slowly slid down it until I sat on the ground. The soft breeze gave me the chills. How was I going to get out of this?

I then realized a slight stinging coming from the right side of my hip. I looked down to see a blood stain on my faded black clothes they forced me to wear. I pulled my shirt up ever so slightly to what was wrong. Once the wind had reached whatever injury I had obtain, it was obvious that the wound was still fresh and open. It was also still bleeding. How could I have not realized this sooner? The shirt wasn't torn but yet there was this wound. Was this from a previous injury that they had given to me and had reopened? That seems more logical. They cut me up a lot yesterday. But I couldn't think about that now. I needed to get away.

I tried getting back up but since now my body was aware of the wound, the pain was now coursing through my body. I slumped back down. My body refuses to move another inch and the soreness of my legs were now starting. I had to keep going. If I don't they might catch me.

I was getting slightly dizzy at this point. The loss of blood and me being tired was now almost too much for my body to handle. My vision started to get blurry. I used what energy I still had to stay awake.

I then started to hear what I think were footsteps. I froze. They couldn't have caught up to me already. But as I strained my ears to hear better I noticed that these footsteps were more gentle and seemed a bit careful. They weren't like the people who were chasing me. They were running to catch me and I doubt they would try and sneak up on me. Then I wonder who was around.

That's when I started to hear growling. Was it wolves? They aren't really cruel to people unless hurt by one but that could explain the growling I hear. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I was starting to lose my sense of direction. Also everything was starting to spin. I then heard something coming towards me from my left. I turned my head but that only made me more exhausted. But what I saw probably just confused me and made my headache grow.

I saw a guy. He was on his legs and hands slowly nearing me. I don't know if I'm hallucinating now or if this is real. I then realized that the growling sound was emanating from this person. I could be hallucinating that this was a guy but was actually a wolf. I don't know what to think. I tried taking a closer look at him but now I'm just seeing three of everything. Something is on his back. Maybe it's a backpack?

Then I heard someone running towards the two of us. Were those the people who were after me? I needed this guy or whoever to help me. Even if it is a wolf. But I didn't have the strength to ask him anything. The running was getting closer but I realized that it was only one pair of feet that were running. Did they split up? Maybe it's another stranger.

"Hey, Lox! Where'd you run off too?"

It was a girl's voice. There were no girls that were chasing me. At least I don't think there were. Maybe she can help me. I just need the energy to get up or call for help.

I tried moving but the pain from my side was too much. Also, as I struggled the growling noise just got louder. What was this guy? He acted like an animal.

The footsteps were now slowing down. Maybe the girl was nearing me. I hope she can help me unlike this other person. Or at least I think it's a person.

"There you are. What are you doing on the ground!? I thought I told you to stand! And what are you growling at?!"

The girl sounded close. Who was she talking too. It didn't take to much longer but I realized that she was talking to this person that was on the ground. Were they friends? I needed to attempt to call for help.

"...H-Hey...c..can...can you h-help me?"

I hope she heard cause now I'm all worn out. Everything was going dark. I needed to stay awake.

"Oh my God. Hey are you alright? Lox! Stop growling we needed to help him! At least let me see the guy."

My eyes were closed at this point. I couldn't keep them open anymore. I heard footsteps coming near me now. I sensed that they stopped once they were next to me. The growling had quieted down too. Whoever this girls was, she seemed to calm down the guy.

I then felt someone touching my wound. I flinched and curled my hands into a fist.

"Wow, you're bleeding a lot. If you wait here I can get you some bandages. I'll leave Lox here so he can guard you. Is that okay?"

I wish I could answer back but I just couldn't move anymore. Who was this 'Lox' person? Was it that guy that was growling at me? I don't think it would be a good idea if I stayed with him.

But how I wished I was left with that growling person instead of what came next. I heard shouts of men and running. They were here. They found me and I was going to be brought back. Not only that but whoever these two were, were also going to be taken by them. I tried opening my eyes but to no were going to get me and I would be unconscious. I heard people surround us.

"We finally found you. And it looks like you made friends."

Stupid guards. I didn't want anyone else involved but now look what I've done. I couldn't even help them fight. I hate feeling weak.

"Who are you!? What do you want!?"

The girls was yelling at them but doesn't she know who they are? Only stupid people would ask that. Unless she didn't see their emblem that were on their shoulder sleeves she was very dumb.

"Don't you recognize this mark? We're from Over. And we need to take that boy that's behind you with us. If you don't cooperate then we might hurt you and you're companion."

"Psh. From Over huh? I haven't fought in forever. Ready Lox?"

She mumbled that last part. I sturggled to open my eyes to see what was happening. I saw at least 20 guards. I didn't think they would send this many. Although it would make sense since they don't want their latest experiment lost. I looked at what was right in front of me. I saw the back of the girl. She had black hair that was a bit below her shoulders and she had a red T-shirt on with brown pants to go with it. What I saw next to her was the guy, who was now standing. He had brown hair and a white V-shirt with gray pants on. But the thing that was on his back was not a backpack. They were folded black wings. And a matching tail to go with it. What was this? If this was a hallucination then I had a creative mind.

"Hm. So, it looks like you're going to fight back are you. Can't you see you're outnumbered?"

The guard that was talking was right. If they fought they were going to lose. But that comment didn't seem to effect the two.I was grateful that they were helping me. But if they knew what they did to me I doubt they would be eager to help.

It looked like they were about to charge any second now. I looked at the guy. His fingers were spread out. Was he going to fight them bare-handed? I looked over to the girl and I saw she had a sword by her side. At least she had a weapon. What was he thinking?

I then noticed that he was staring at me. His teeth were showing. Were those fangs? But I quickly discarded the question once I saw his eye color. They were purple. Where have I seen them before?

I couldn't think for much longer because my body wanted to sleep now and I couldn't stop myself from giving in. I heard a swooshing noise from infront of me. Everything then went black, the same color of the wings
