Yay! Loads of people are reviewing! Well... six... but that's still great!
Thankies! This is gonna get more and more dramatic, I'm trying to make
there be a bit of a cliffie at the end of each chapter.
Stormhawk - Yeah, he is kinda creepy...
Cam-il - Aw! You are just so sweet! *sniff* I'm so touched...
Iden's Garden - I don't know why doesn't run. Well, how would you act if your house was invaded by another fictional character, like.... Harry Potter? I know what I'd do. I run away screaming.

Chapter 3 - Running
A hand shot straight through her door. Asha screamed and ran for her window. Before she got halfway there, an arm wrapped round her waist, and she was thrown over an agent's shoulder. Asha screamed loudly and tried kicked the agent as hard as she could everywhere that her feet could reach. Sadly, it seemed that agents have no areas that are more tender than others, where many boys had suffered incredible pain when they happened to upset Asha. She carried on screaming, wondering why the neighbours hadn't heard the gunshots or her shouts.
Eventually they emerged from the house. Agent Smith passed Asha over to another agent waiting next to the car, who threw her onto the back seat. But before he could shut the door, a man leapt at him and kicked him round the head. Asha blinked, and looked out the car. A man and a woman in black had turned up, and were kicking the agents' asses.
"Hey!" said Asha, "Are you-"
"Run, Asha!" said the woman, "Just run!"
"But are you-"
"Just GO!"
Asha ran away down the street as fast as she could. She had seen the first Matrix film enough times to know that you even if you kill agents, they just reappear in another body. "Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit," repeated Asha, "WHY haven't I gone to see 'The Matrix Reloaded' yet?" Her slippers fell off as she ran, but she didn't stop until she was several streets away. Then she sat down, suddenly consumed with a great tiredness, and the memory of all that had happened fell on her like her massive cat, Beanie. She put her face in her arms and just sat there.
She didn't how much later it was when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She lifted up her head and saw Alison standing next to her, still clutching the white rabbit.
"Do you want to come to my house now?" she asked.
Asha nodded. She couldn't think of anything else to say.
* * * * *
Asha followed Alison through the back streets. She didn't know where she was going, and found that she didn't care. She couldn't stop thinking - why was this happening? Was this all some bizarre dream she was having? Maybe she would wake up soon, and say to Jon, "I had the weirdest dream last night, where Agent Smith killed my mum and dad, but Trinity and Neo helped me get away, and just before I woke up I was walking along with a little girl called Alison who had a white rabbit." And he'd say, "God, you're weird, Ash." Ash was Asha's shortened nickname; mainly because Asha hated Pokemon with a burning vengeance, because she deeply regretted wasting all her money on the cards.
Soon they stopped in front of an apartment block. Asha blinked. "What are we doing here?"
"This is my home," said Alison. Asha was amazed. This was the bad section of town. There were supposed to be criminals who met in this building, according to the newspapers; there were police raids there almost regularly. How could Alison be living in a place like this?
Asha followed Alison up the stairs carefully. They got into the lift, and stood in silence for a moment. Whenever Asha glanced at Alison, she was looking at her rabbit.
Finally the doors opened, and Asha almost threw herself out of the lift; someone had recently got it confused with a public bathroom. Alison stepped out of the lift a little slower.
"This way," she said, and walked down the hall. Asha followed nervously. Alison stopped at the third door and knocked. It opened almost immediately.
"There you are, Alison," said the woman, sounding relieved, "We were starting to get worried! The agents are still out there."
"I know," said Alison, and walked into the apartment, leaving Asha in the hall. The woman rolled her eyes and said, "You must be Asha. Its lovely to meet you at last."
"At last?" said Asha.
"Oh yes. We've been expecting you for some time. Come in."

Okay, I know that's not that much of a cliffie. Maybe you think it is, but compared to some of the later ones... SHUT UP BRAIN!!! *starts hitting head repeatedly* I may not be able to update for a while cos I have exams. I'll definitely be back at the weekend though! Oh, and please read the story on my sister's account, called 'The Nightclub'. Her name's Neo. Pwease?
Stormhawk - Yeah, he is kinda creepy...
Cam-il - Aw! You are just so sweet! *sniff* I'm so touched...
