His Escape:

His grip tightened around the chrome and steel of his handlebars as he increased his speed until he could feel the tires soaring over the asphalt beneath him and his bike. He needed this. He needed the feeling of liberation from all of the hell that was civilization. This was his escape.

It was on these long, deserted strips of road that he felt as though he was truly at peace with the world. The road did not judge him, nor did it hold ludicrous expectations and vicious prejudices. The road was just the road, and he was just him; no one around to demand more, and certainly no one around to expect less.

The trees and other scenery rushed passed him as he continued to increase his speed, pushing the limits of his vehicle and himself more and more the further and faster he went.

Suddenly, the trees stopped, and he was alone no longer. The illusion of freedom and reckless abandon was shattered in an instant as the bike gradually slowed and cars began to spill out over the entire road.

As the bike veered into a side street and then halted completely, the boy removed his helmet and climbed off the contraption, revealing his striking silver locks and amber orbs to the darkness around him. Little did he know that he was being watched-followed even- by a being hidden in said darkness, and that soon, his world would never be the same again.

a/n: I'm soo sorry for the long wait! (Especially because it's not really an impressive update…) Life just got the better of me, but I promise to try and get this story off the ground and into full-length chapter mode within the next month! But for now, I hope you enjoyed and will leave a review (:
