Hey everyone! Here's chapter 10! It's sort of short, I know, but the next chapter is reaaally long.
I found myself in an alley somewhere. I had no clue where, and I wasn't very interested in that particular detail. All I was interested in was the man I saw coming toward me and how to get away from him.
Crap, crap, crap!
A glance behind me told me that the back exit was out of commission. Before I could raise an alarm, though, I was on a roof; the one that was to the left of the alleyway. I watched the man stop, look around confusedly, and leave, all from above.
The weirdest thing, though—I hadn't blacked out. It was like I'd moved in an instant. No black-out. No sudden difference. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me and whipped around to see another guy—definitely younger than the man below, probably nineteen or so, and with better intentions.
"Who are you?" I asked, not feeling much danger in where I was or who I was with.
He sort of gave a half grin before replying. "My name is Nathanael. Sorry to be such a bother, but we can't talk here."
Before I could register what was happening, I was somewhere else. Somewhere sort of dark, but rather comforting, all the same.
"Lela," he said. "I don't know if we can tell you all in one day, so I guess Elizabeth can start you off. I'm not very good at explaining things." He gave that half smile again before disappearing.
A girl, not much older than me, came down some stairs and gave a little wave.
"Hello, Lela. Sorry we couldn't get to you sooner about this, but it's all in the timing, and of course, Nat knows all about time."
I sort of feel like I couldn't do much with Elizabeth and Nathanael in this chapter and the next two. Not sure how I wanted them to act, but the way I wrote them is just me trying something that may or may not work. I hope it works out... ^^
Please review!
