Running could be heard throughout the entire place. Besides that and the
occasional gunshot it was rather quiet. The pace of the running started to
get faster and two people ran by.
"Just keep running. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. I am not going to let you die. Not so soon after." said the first person but he was stopped from finishing what he was saying by a gunshot that barely missed his head.
The two turned the corner before the other person who was a girl spoke. "I am not going to leave without you. So I am going to stay by your side," said the girl as she worked hard to keep up with the male.
"Hold it right there," said a soldier as he turned the corner to see the two people fleeing. "I said to stay there or I will be forced to shoot. You two are my friends so I really do not want to do this," said the man as he held the gun in a very shaky hand.
"You know that we didn't so anything. So please just stop all of this. I know who is behind that but no one is even listening to what I have to say anymore," said the first man as he stopped around at a corner feeling that their friend would not actually try to hurt them.
"I know that. I believe you too but without evidence, no one will believe you. I know the truth but they don't. There is far too much evidence and everything thinks that you did it because of that. Too many people have died because of it and no one besides your friends know that you are truly innocent. The order was to capture or kill. I would never do that, but if you don't stop then they might try to kill you instead. That is something that I really don't want to happen," said the first man as he continued to hold the gun very shakily.
The first man was going to speak again when he saw someone else right behind his friend, and a moment later, his friend dropped to the ground unconscious. The new man just stood there hidden in the shade. "It is your fault you know," said the new man as he lifted up another gun.
The first man glared at the figure that walked up. "You bastard! This is all your fault that all of this is happening to us. Why are you doing all of this?" yelled the first man as the woman took cover behind him.
"It should have been mine. You took it away from me and if I can't have it then I think that no one should be able to have it," said The man as he reached behind his back and pulled out a second gun.
The first man was quick to react and he also grabbed the gun that he had in his belt. He was about to raise it up but then he heard a voice yell, "Hold your fire." It was too late as the other man fired off his two guns.
"No!" yelled the woman as she jumped out in front and one of the bullets was impaled into her chest as the other one missed her and impaled itself into the chest of the man she was trying to protect.
The two of them fell to the ground limply and for a second they could only stare at each other. A tear fell down the woman's face as she said, "It was too early for it to end. We could have been happy." Before the woman closed her eyes and all life drained out of her. The male could only watch as his love died and he could only wait until his time came as well, and he felt he would finally be happy when it came so that he could be with his love once again.
*****
A young woman sprung up in her bed. A cold sweat ran across her face as she took a little time to try and calm herself as she sat up in her bed. She was really freaked out by the dream that she just had.
"It is that same dream again. Why is it that it won't go away? Does it have some sort of meaning?" asked the woman as she stood up and walked to towards her bathroom. She turned on the water and after taking a handful of water, she splashed it onto her face to try and wake up a little more since she knew that she would not be able to get anymore sleep that night.
"I wish that this would all stop. I haven't had a decent nights sleep since I first started having these dreams and it is starting to drive my insane," said the girl as she just stood over the sink with the water still running. 'Get a hold of yourself Fiona or you are going to end up going insane,' Her mind told her.
She walked out of the bathroom a few moments later and then looked out of the window to her room to see that the sun was just rising over the horizon. Not bothering to try and get back to sleep, she just walked over to her dresser and grabbed a pair of clothes out of it and then she walked into the bathroom again.
*****
"Again? Man, you sure have it rough. I would hate it if I had dreams like that and end up staying up all night because of it," said a woman as the two of them sat outside of a café drinking some coffee.
"Do you think that it may have some meaning Moonbay, because no matter how much I try, I can't get the dream to go away," said Fiona as she rested her chin on the palm of her hand.
"Sure, I think it means you need either a psychiatrist, or a boyfriend. They both have ways of helping out when you are very troubled," said Moonbay with a little smirk. "You know, if you want, I might be able to have Irvine match you up with a friend of his. The two are roommates so I have met him many times before. He is very nice. I think the two of you would be a good couple. So How about it? Do you want to give it a try?" asked Moonbay with a small smile as she took a sip of her coffee.
"I am not looking for a boyfriend. I am looking for a way to get these dreams to go away so that I might actually be able to get a little more than five hours of sleep a week," said Fiona with an annoyed sigh.
"Maybe it would be good for you. It might help you get your mind off of your problems. Like I have said, I've met this person. He is very nice, and I think you two would make a perfect match. So come on, you might actually be happy in doing this," said Moonbay with a smile.
Fiona seemed to think it over for a minute. Moonbay had always been trying to pair her up with people but she always refused. She didn't know why but she felt that she was waiting for someone in specific and that she didn't even want to try and find anyone else. Fiona didn't know why but what came out of her mouth was the opposite of what she actually wanted to say. "Fine," said Fiona with a sigh.
"Alright! Trust me. You won't be upset by this, in fact I am sure that you will enjoy it," said Moonbay with a joyous smile that her best friend had finally given into her pleading.
'I really hope that I am not going to end up regretting doing this," said Fiona as she put her forehead in the palm of her hand. "Listen, I have to go. There is something important that I have to do," said Fiona as she stood up and put some money on the table before she walked off.
"I will call you and tell you the details about what is going to happen later," Moonbay yelled after her and then she put her money down and then walked off in the other direction.
After the two had left. The place ended up being very quiet. Suddenly out of nowhere a person came through one of the building right through the wall. He stared at the two retreating forms and could only form two words, "It's her."
The person then took off walking in the direction that Fiona had left in, in hopes of catching her. He had a small smile on his face upon seeing her but for some reason he couldn't seem to talk to her at that moment.
So many questions were going through his mind. Before he knew it though, she turned and walked into a building. Taking an easy way for him, he just walked right through the walls of the place.
The place was really crowded at that moment because he had just entered a shopping center. He growled in annoyance as he lost sight of her in the huge crowds that rushed past. All of them for some reason didn't know that they continued to walk right through him. "How am I going to find her now?" said the man with a sigh of defeat. 'At least I have finally found her again. Maybe she will be able to help me. If only she could remember, then I know she would help me without a doubt,' thought the man as he turned around and walked out of the shopping center.
*****
Moonbay walked into her apartment with a smile on her face. She immediately took off her shoes. Then she walked to the phone and quickly dialed in a number and waited as the phone rang.
"Hello," came a very tired voice from the other side. Moonbay knew that it was still a bit early and that neither Irvine or his friend were really early bird people. So the person on the other side sounded very exhausted.
"Hey, Is Irvine there? I really have to talk to him," said Moonbay with a cheerful tone in her voice. She couldn't wait to share the news with Irvine who had to convince his friend as well.
"Just a second," said the boy with a yawn. Even with the phone not near his mouth. Moonbay could hear him mumbling stuff like, "How can she be up this early and actually be happy about it."
A few moments passed and then someone else in just as tired of a voice picked the phone up and said, "Hello."
"Hey Irvine. Remember that little plan we had for our two friends?" asked Moonbay with a cheerful tone in her voice. Moonbay knew that the same thoughts were going through Irvine's head as his roommates.
"Yeah, what about it?" asked Irvine with a long yawn. He could have been sleeping but Moonbay just had to wake him up in order to tell him this. It was kind of annoying.
"I finally got her to agree to go on the date. What about you? Did you manage to convince him to do it as well? God knows that these two could actually use a boyfriend and girlfriend," said Moonbay happily.
"It took a lot of convincing but, yes, I did manage to get him to agree to go through with this but he didn't really seem too happy about it all," said Irvine still yawning.
"Same with Fiona. Ok, I have to go. I am going over to Fiona's to tell her of the news. So I will talk to you later," said Moonbay happily before she hung up the phone. 'This is going to be great,' thought Moonbay.
She got up and then walked over and put on her shoes. She then walked out the door and after locking it she started to walk down the halls towards the exit. She couldn't wait for this to happen.
She walked out of the building and started to walk down the street. Unknown to her, there was someone that was following her in an attempt to get that which he wanted most of all.
Moonbay walked about a mile when she came upon another set of apartments. It was a bit nicer then the ones that she lived in but she was happy with what she had at the moment.
She walked in and then headed towards the stairs to walk up to Fiona's room still unaware of the fact that she was being followed. She came upon a door and then gave it a small knock. "Hey! Fiona! Are you in there?" yelled Moonbay. She received no reply.
She was about to leave when a voice stopped her. "What are you doing here Moonbay?" asked Fiona as she walked down the halls towards her room carrying a number of bags.
"I came to talk to you about the date. Everything has been set up for tonight if that is ok?" asked Moonbay with a smile on her face. She took some of the bags for Fiona so that she could open her door.
"I guess the faster I can get this over with, the better it will be for me," said Fiona with a sigh as she pushed her door open and walked into her cozy little apartment. Setting the bags down on the counter of her little kitchen, she then walked into the living room and sat in one of the seats.
"Don't be like that. I am telling you that you will have a really good time. Trust me about this. You are most likely not going to regret this one bit," said Moonbay with a smile.
"I had better not for your sake," said Fiona in a teasing way. "Listen, I have a lot to do, so can we please talk about this a little later?" asked Fiona with a sigh as she sank into her chair.
"Sure. That will be fine. I will talk to tomorrow so that you can tell me all that happened," said Moonbay with a smirk as she turned and walked towards the door before stopping and turning around. "Don't do anything too naughty tonight, ok?" asked Moonbay with a smirk. She then walked out of the door leaving a blushing Fiona.
"When will she learn that I am not that type of person?" Fiona asked with a laugh because she knew that Moonbay was just teasing her. She turned around and walked into the bathroom to get cleaned up a little.
After taking a nice, long, hot shower. Fiona stood in the mirror looking at herself. She couldn't help but wonder what this person she was being set up with looked like. She gave a sigh and then got dressed.
She walked out of the bathroom a moment later with a smile on her face. It dropped when she noticed that someone was in her room. Someone that she didn't know was in her room. There standing by her window looking at the scenery below was a man that she didn't know. Lots of bad thoughts entered her mind about all the bad things this could mean but for some reason she just couldn't move or yell out for help.
Upon hearing slight movement. The man turned around and looked at her. He didn't have a mean look on his face. What he had was a smile on his face at the mere sight of Fiona. It wasn't wicked or forced but a genuine happy smile. Still, Fiona could do nothing.
"Just keep running. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. I am not going to let you die. Not so soon after." said the first person but he was stopped from finishing what he was saying by a gunshot that barely missed his head.
