Chapter 7:
After she finished putting her shoes on, Bre looked up when she heard a knock on her door. She smiled at her visitor; Atem was leaning against the door frame with his arms cross.
"Atem, what can I do for you?" she asked. The said teen shrugged his shoulders as he proceeded into the room and sat beside her on the bed.
"Where are you going" he asked with an eyebrow raise? "Out for a run" she stated simply while standing up.
She looked down at him, "I thought you were going to organize your room some more" she asked curious? Atem looked up at her and smiled, "thought so too but I guess I am not in the mood."
Nodding her head in understanding, the girl turn to leave, but before walking out the door she turn her head over her shoulder, "I guess I will see you when I get back then." Smiling one last time she headed down the stairs.
She smiled at Damien who was approaching her, "where you going?" he asked curiously. "I am going out for a run, will you tell my mom." Damien nodded, "you got it; be careful okay."
Saying her good bye, Bre opened the front door and headed into the cool brisk evening.
Atem who was now in his room was leaning against his window frame watching his housemate disappear into the darkness. I
f one were too looked close they would notice a black and purple aurora surrounding his body.
Sighing the teen turn his attention away from the window and headed for his bed room door, grabbing his jacket in the process.
Usually when Bre goes for a run, there is usually a path that she takes since it goes about 3 miles; tonight however, was no different.
As Bre was running on the side roads of Domino, she couldn't help but get this feeling that she wasn't alone.
Slowing down, she took the ear phones from her I-pod out of her ears and began to look around. Okay, I know it's dark but come on Bre your not a kid anymore….there is no such thing as the bogyman or even vampires.
Shaking it off, she put the headphones back into her ears and began scrolling through her songs.
As she was scrolling, the girl stopped when she noticed a dark shadow reflecting off the screen. She felt her pulse increase while trying to shake off this cold feeling.
This feeling feels familiar…I felt it when I first lay eyes on Atem yet so different…more I don't know.
Instinct kicking in, she ran, not knowing where she was going but at the same time didn't care. Instinct told her to go faster as she felt the presence close by I wish Atem was here.
She felt like she had been running on adrenaline for hours though it's only been 15 minutes. Her throat felt like it was on fire as she was breathing really hard and her adrenaline was running low.
Groaning, Bre knew she had to stop so she did.
As Bre was getting her breathing back under control, her legs felt wobbly. The girl let out a sigh of relief when she noticed that the dark energy wasn't around anymore.
Good, lost it she thought happily, but due to exhaustion her body collapse.
Bracing for the impact, she frown when she didn't feel pain but felt warmth. Snuggling into the warmth, the girl closed her eyes as exhaustion took over her body.
