Little Runaway

The House

I had been running for a good few hours, I managed to give the black haired man the slip, I was very hungry and very tired, I looked around, there had to be somewhere I could rest, even momentarily, just to get the energy in my legs back, I looked terrible, my light brown hair was streaked with and and grease, my stockings were cut and I had a gash on my neck, so I was the picture of bad health, I saw a medical office and ran to it.

"Help me there is a bad man chasing me!"

I cried, I looked in the glass and saw him

"Oh god no!"

I began to cry as I ran harder, the black haired man hot on my trail, I looked around at many of the warm houses and my luck behold, there was one, just around the corner at 466, Lampkin Lane I laughed in relief as I ran at full speed towards the road, I saw an old man and he gave me a funny look but I ignored him and ran, it was almost dark so I dove into a bush and held my breath, the man looked for me and then after a few more minutes gave up, I was starving by now, I saw the road 466 Lampkin Lane and ran to it, I had no choice the lights had gone off and, the man could strike at any moment...I ran in...

Deep inside the house...

The Shape lay motionless...he felt a presence in his house but was unsure, it was fearful and alone, he stood without a sound, he looked around without emotion as he got up, whatever the thing that was in his house was a pest that would not exist for long...

The Shape went over to the doll with blood on it and removed his knife, he had some exterminating to do...

With Tracey

I was starving to death, I looked around, it was sad to say the least, but as my father told me, that if god offers you a blessing don't question it! And if a vacant house in the middle of the night isn't a blessing, then I don't know what is! Anyway there was a huge living room, a kitchen and heck even a basement and bathroom, if this is the ground floor, I can't wait to see the 1st floor!, I looked in the fridge, ewww a dead rat!, it had no head, gross! I decided to eat one of my sandwiches, I pulled out a chair, it was too hard, my jeans were now wet from the tomato juice on the seat, I tried the second one, it was too weak and collapsed.

The Shape heard a clatter from upstairs, this was worrying him, who had gotten in and who had the nerve to wreck his stuff! He very slowly began walking up.

I finally found a seat that was comfy, I just realised, I played out the scenes of Goldilocks and the three bears, but bears don't live in houses, that's dumb! I ate my sandwich and cleaned my hands, the water was brown, this house needed a do over! I may be only a kid but I know dirty and this is dirty!

"I'm sleepy.."

I mumbled as I walked up, my legs were aching and my lids were drooping and my stomach was still aching, I arrived at the first room, the bed was too hard, I almost broke my back jumping on it, so now I was limping, I tried the second room, the bed was too soft, I almost suffocated myself when I sat down, it scared me, I tried the final room and low behold, it was perfect, Oh i did it again! now all I need is the bear, but thankfully there are none! I began to eat my chicken sandwich...

The Shape looked at his kitchen and almost lost it, his furniture was destroyed, there was a trail of crumbs leading to the stairs, he flexed his knife as he walked towards the stairs, hell bent on killing this pest...

I was upstairs in the room cuddling my teddy, I was suddenly hut with the realisation of what I had done and had been through...i ran away was kidnapped and may never see my mummy again...i wanted my daddy and mummy, I began to cry, what if I never saw them again? I miss them so much, I wish I never ran from home, why didn't I face my fears? Oh yeah...Hue...that's why...

"Mummy...I miss you..."

I whimpered as I closed my eyes letting sleep take me...

The Shape was in his mothers room, someone had been in here and dented the boards, he fixed them up, the photo of him and her had been knocked over, o he fixed it, he looked to see if anything else was a miss and shut the door with a thud.

I heard a noise but brushed it off.

Next the shape checked his sisters room, the bed had been slept in, and judging from the crumbs...it was recent, who would dare to wreck his house! Who had the gall! No the nerve to enter his house and do this, it had to be a complete and utter tough faced teenager!

The Shape took one last glance before slamming the door, the little rat that was in his house will have its day when he catches it!

I was wide awake now, I heard the door slam and the other door slowly creaking open, I fell out of the bed and limped under the bed, I held my breath, fear in place now. Why didn't I stay in the house? I could have waited for my mummy and then left for a new life...but it wasn't with daddy...oh I don't know its too late now I'm in this strange alien world at the hands of a stranger...who...may or may not let me leave...

The only thing I could do was watch as the image of boots walked towards where I was cowering...

Oh this is a shame...

Poor Tracey all she wanted to do was teach her neglectful mother a lesson, but it turns out its her thats learning the lesson

' Never runaway when your mother is out'

Who is this shape?

Will she escape?

And what about the man chasing her?
