Chapter
Nine: Stunned
Alyson's
POV
I walked through the bar with Ava and Lily. I saw a few couples making out, and a few heading upstairs. I rolled my eyes. Love's a trap. One I'll never, ever fall in. I don't see how it traps people. It's pointless, really, if you think about it.
"Uh, hey. Uhm I think...." Ava trailed off, looking at the window next to the exit. Lily and I looked at her closely. She bolted for the door. I was left confused, along with Lily. We looked out the window, and saw her chasing a silhouette.
I ran outside, Lily beat me out the door. But I was still faster than all of them. I trained myself so I could be prepared for days like this. I ran as fast as I could, passed by Lily and then Ava.
I gained even more speed, reaching my hand out to grab him. He was covered in black clothes, even had a face mask. My fingertips brushed against his shoulder. He turned around and looked in my eyes. I gazed back, struck by his ice blue eyes and the beauty they held. I slowed to a jog, then stopped. He turned around, making it impossible for me to look in those eyes again.
"Shit! Aly, wake up!" Ava screamed as she passed me.
"Dammit you almost had him!" Lily said, flying by me, shaking her head in disappointment.
