Chapter 2 – A familiar face

Sky tried to take a step backwards, but the man took both her wrists in his hands. His long, sharp nails digging into her flesh. She looked the man in his eyes, the eyes that first looked so nice were now black, lifeless pits. She tried to free her hands, but his grip was to strong. He dragged her in a nearby alley, Sky tried to scream but the man slammed his hand over her mouth. She bit him in his hand, but the man only smiled wider.

He pinned her against the alley wall, while Sky tried to kick him. Her small legs couldn't kick the man hard enough that he would let her go. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the cold wall.

'You're giving up?' the man said with a raspy voice. Sky opened her eyes again and looked at him. He grinned down at her.

'No' she said, kicking him in the crotch, hard. He let her go and fell to the ground.

'You bitch' he spat, trying to grab her ankle. Sky quickly stepped aside and turned to the entrance of the alley. The man who followed her earlier stood there. He stepped forward, but not in her direction. He walked to the man on the ground, which looked with open mouth at the hooded man.

'You' was the only thing he could say before the hooded figure stabbed him. Sky watched with wide eyes. She turned around and ran home.

Sky ran up the stairs and threw her apartment door open. She slammed it shut behind her.

'What the hell' she muttered to herself as she walked to the sink in the small kitchen. She splashed some water in her face and rubbed her eyes. She dried her hands at a towel. She walked to her bedroom and changed in a white tank top and baby blue sweatpants shorts. She put her hair in a messy bun and brushed her teeth. She climbed in bed and fell asleep quickly.

Sky looked around her and saw she stood in a forest. It didn't frighten her anymore. She knew this place now. It was cold again and it rained harder than the first time. She knew she hadn't much time till the creature was here. She closed her eyes and listened carefully. She heard footsteps come nearer, she opened her eyes en turned to the left, were she heard the sound. She saw the red eye come closer en she knew she had to start running, but she stood frozen on her spot. The creature growled en knew exactly he had won, hell even she knew it. The creature was so close, she could smell death en blood on him.

'Skylar….' It roared. She nodded, not knowing what to say or what to do. His claw caressed her cheek, his nails leaving marks on her skin. She felt it burn, but she didn't dare to scream. She didn't know if she could run away, if she should run away. It was risky, but she could try. She lifted her leg slightly and set a step behind her. She could move again, she set another step backwards till the creatures claw fell next to its body. It growled and Sky ran away.

She ran through the forest, waving her way between the trees. She tripped and couldn't catch her fall. She was soaked and turned on her back. The rain drops fell on her face as she closed her eyes. The creature doomed over her, but she could care less. She was tired and her muscles were sore. She heard the creature lift its arm and she waited till it would strike her.

She heard a crack and then the creature screamed. Sky opened her eyes and looked at her right. She saw the creature trying to fight a hooded figure. She knew him, she saw him before. The creature slammed its arm into the chest of the man. The hooded figure fell to the ground. The creature came back to Sky and bite her in her arm. She screamed without a sound. The creature was satisfied and backed away.

Sky's arm was burning, her vision became black. She turned her head to the left and looked at the hooded figure, who lay still on its side. She saw him turn around and look at her with his golden eyes before the black overtook her vision.

Sky bolted upright gasping for air. Normally she would see the creature and there would end the dream, but now.. There was another figure, the hooded man, and the creature attacked her. She grabbed her arm and examined it. There was nothing, but there was a mild stinging pain. She told herself it was nothing and she looked at the clock. It said 6 a.m. She didn't have to work today so she took a quick shower and went to the kitchen. She baked an egg and some bacon and ate her breakfast.

When she was finished she walked downstairs. Behind the counter stood Luke. He smiled warmly at her and give a slight nod.

'Hey Luke, can I help you with something?' she asked, smiling at her almost father. He was rummaging through a pile of papers and pushed his glasses back up his nose.

'If you could get me some groceries later on today. That would be great' he said looking at her.

'Sure, I'm going for a walk. I will go to the supermarket afterwards' she said smiling and walking in the direction of the door. She turned back and waved goodbye to Luke, who was again busy with rummaging. She shook her head and walked outside.

It was a nice day. It wasn't that warm but the sun was there, so it wasn't too cold either. She walked through the city and walked along a small dinner. She looked inside, but there was nobody there. She shrugged and started walking again. Everywhere were she looked she saw people busy with their lives. People who had to go to work, to a meeting or appointment. There were cars racing by and people running. It was crowded and Sky didn't really like it. She liked the silence more than talking, so she decided to go to the park instead.

When she arrived at the park, there was no one there. She walked a bit and decided to sit under the big oak tree in the middle of the park. She sat down with her back against the trunk. She saw a small boy running on the grass and smiled to herself. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

A cold rain drop fell onto her face and Sky slowly opened her eyes. She looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky. She stood up quickly and started walking home.

The rain poured down on Sky and she was freezing. She walked past the dinner again and decided to wait inside till the rain stopped. She pushed the door open and the small bell at the top jingled. There were 3 people in a booth at the back of the dinner. She walked to the counter and ordered a glass of water. She walked to one of the other booths and looked at the trio in the back.

They all wore black and had strange tattoos on their arms. There was one girl, with straight raven black hair and a boy with the same black hair. Sky figured they must be brother and sister. The other had blond, slightly curly hair. She couldn't study them more because the waitress put her glass of water down. Sky thanked her and sipped from her glass. She laid her head against the back of the booth and looked outside. It was still pouring. She sighed and wanted to pick her glass up again, but she couldn't find it. She lifted her head back up and looked at the boy with golden hair who stood beside her, with the glass of water in his hand.

'Can I have that back?' she asked, annoyance clearly in her voice. The boy grinned and held the glass to his mouth. He gulped the water down.

'Excuse me! That was mine' she said angrily. The boy lowered his head and then she saw it. His eyes a beautiful golden color.
