Escape
chapter 1
The room was a mess. Clothes and possessions strewn everywhere. There was barely any room to move. The floor itself was only visible where the lone person stood with his forehead resting on the wall. It's now or never he thought to himself. Gathering his courage, he spun around and strode across the room towards the door not bothering to avoid trampling the items in his path. Mentally preparing himself for the horror on the other side of the slab of solid oak, he took a deep breath and shoved it open. The suffocating smell of cleaning products was almost enough to make him turn back to the haven of his room. For months the sterility of the house had driven him almost to the point of madness. Seeing this again after remaining locked away in his room for weeks caused something in him to change and he involuntarily began to run. He didn't stop to breathe until he found himself standing at the front gate. Ignoring the bite of the frigid wind, he walked through the entrance of the house he grew up in and didn't look back. As it occurred to him that he was finally out, a smile spread across his lips, a genuine smile for once, not a smirk. Finally, I'm free. he thought to himself as he set off towards the nearest town. Suddenly the bitter weather didn't seem so bitter anymore as the elation at this realization coursed thought his veins. "Free." he whispered...
…and the world began to fade away until all that remained was a complete, oppressive blackness…
…then there was light…Light?…
Realizing what had occurred, he sat up with a groan, the green silk sheets sliding down his naked chest and pooling at his waist. He squinted when the harsh morning light assaulted his over-sensitized eyes, Bloody house elves…
"What a nightmare…" he mumbled as he flopped back onto the pillow, scrubbing at his face. He wasn't referring to the dream, though. No that was his dearest wish, to be able to get up and walk, or run, away. No, the nightmare Draco Malfoy was referring to was waking up.
