Alessa leaned against the tree outsite of the school, looking over to the other children that were chattin, laughing and playing games. She felt all alone. She WAS all alone.

Alessa looked back into her book and started to read. She wanted to know how the princess escaped from the monsters. And there still was this one with a monster blocking the entrance to a castle. She might would draw that one too.

Alessa walked though the dusk towards her house. She never got lost on her way home, even if she hoped that she would one day.

She stood still when she saw it. It appeared a few inches away from her, out of nothing. It looked like a puppy, but it was covered in blood. His legs also looked wierd.

"Hello?"

Alessa stared at it, interested, not scared at all. As the thing noticed her, it started to crawl towards her, and this was when Alessa was sure that this thing definitively wasnt a dog.

It was a monster.

She fell backwards onto the street when she tried to run away, and with a small gasp, she jumped onto her feet again. As she started to run, she knew that the monster was after her.

It chased her!

Alessa jumped through a broken fence, hoping that it would stop it. But the sound of wood bursting, told her that this wasnt going to happen.

She turned around a courner, just to see a car parking on the street, a few miles away from her. She didnt have any time to waste. She put all her strength into her legs and started to run for it. She could already hear the monster breathing behind her. First she thought that it stopped to run after her, but then she hurt the lout sound of a trash can falling to the ground and losing its insides.

She now screamed for help, in hope someone would care enough for her to help her. But who would?

Her mother was at home, and Claudia probably still was in school, trying to figure out who stole her shoes. She stumbled and fell.

Scared as she was, she turned around and looked into the blood filled mouth of a giant spider-like monster. She was about to die. About to get erased. She would be gone.

A shot hit the monster right between the eyes and with a scream, that made Alessa jerk back, it jumped over her. Behind her, Alessa heard a few more shots, before everything was quite. She lay there, in fear, and was hoping that everything would be over now.

"Are you okay?"

Alessa opened her eyes again, and looked into the blue ones of a boy, somewhat older than her. She was still breathing heavily, and because of her fear, she had to focuse on controlling her powers.

"Yeah, I am okay, I guess." was all she said, before she stood up and ran away.

"Hey wait!"

The boy was standing all alone in the street, looking after her. After a while, he turned around an walked back onto the street.

"What was she running away from?"
