Mikelle led us to a highway. Not the best place in the world to be but maybe we would loose them faster because of all the cars. But it wasn't going to be easy to shoot either. We came onto the bridge of the highway. It was pretty high and I wasn't a fan of bridges.

I felt the bike start to swerve as I was about to shoot again. That wasn't good. Either the bike was braking down or our tires were shot. My bet was the tires. Nicholas let go of the bike, grabbed me from behind and jumped off the bike. We tumbled onto the ground as the bike ran right into another car that exploded. Nicholas covered me with his body earning him a few scrapes on his back.

"What now? They are going to find us if they know we jumped."

"Don't worry. When they drive by aim for their tires and when they are down don't waste your bullets on shooting them. Snap their neck."

That was not on my list of things to do. I always saw it on TV but I never thought I would be doing it. But who knew I was going to be in a gang either? Maybe if I just hid and let Nicholas do all the work. Nope. He couldn't do it by himself. He would be out numbered.

The first few bikes drove by, but by the time the next ones came, me and Nicholas were in front of a parked car on the side of the highway. Once they passed us we shot their tires and waited for them to crash. We ran out to the first two. I heard a loud snap coming from the man Nicholas had taken to brake his neck. H'okay. My turn. I looked at the guy. He looked like he was about to shoot me from where he sat but I got around behind him before he could, took his head in my arm and twisted his head to the side. I received a loud snap of my own as a response.

I felt sick. That was the grossest thing I think I had ever done. And I was only just getting used to shooting. Nicholas gave me a worried look but I waved to him as if to say 'I'm fine'.

We didn't get time to go back to our hiding position again because a few more people from the Tigers gang were riding right towards us. I managed to bust one guys bike by shooting the tires. He slid in between me and Nicholas. Nicholas had taken that chance to brake the guys neck as well.

I'm not sure what happened but the few other people turned around and went the other way down the highway. Of course not without trying to shoot me or Nicholas. We hid behind the car again so we were safe.

If I didn't know any better I would say that I was holding my breath through that whole episode. I started to breath heavily. Savouring the sweet air. Even if it did kind of taste like gasoline and smoke.

"Do you think they will come back?" I asked with out looking at Nicholas.

"They might. Maybe just to collect the bodies."

"How long do you think we would have?"

"I'd say an hour before they think the highway is clear. That'll give us enough time to at least be off of the highway."

"That's all I need." I said as I got up to start walking. But then the big pain on my side reminded me of my wound. It hurt a lot. One of the worst pains I've felt physically. Despite my pain I kept walking, hearing Nicholas walk behind me.

"That's a nasty bullet burn. It might start to really bleed if you move too much."

"Nice of you to notice… sorry. This isn't the best day of my life."

"It's ok. I can relate."

Without warning, I felt as though I weighed nothing. Nicholas had lifted me up into his arms where he carried me.

"I can walk. I'm not that badly hurt." I protested.

"I know that."

"So why don't you let me down if you know?"

He never answered me. Nicholas just looked down at me and smiled. That was all that I needed. His charming smile made it feel like I had almost no pain anymore.

We came off the highway and to a forest. Nicholas let me down because his arms were getting tired. Or so he said.

"We are going to have to walk through the forest. If people see us, especially you cause we are around Tie Diamond area, then police will be after us. Think you can manage?"

"Yeah I think so. How far away are we from the hideout?"

"A few miles. We might have to stop sometime soon. Its getting dark out."

Yeah. I was getting dark. And cold. Remember I was still wear the very non-covering clothes. And no. Nicholas did not have a jacket or even a shirt to cover me with having rid of his shirt after the Tigers left. He walked in front of me. I saw his tattoo clearly. It was still a little light out. The wolf was pure black with red eyes. That's when I remembered that I didn't know what colour mine was. And I hadn't paid attention to the colour of Selina's either.

"Hey Nicholas?" I asked.

"Yeah?" He said still facing front.

"What colour is my tattoo? I never noticed."

"It's the same colour as Selina's. All black with silver eyes. That's higher ranking than me."

"Why so high?"

"I think Selina and Mikelle thought you and Sayoran were pretty valuable. We don't get people like you often."

"Why is it so special that me and Sayoran were able to get out of Tie Diamond? Other kids have done it haven't they?"

"Nope. You two are the first known to get out."

"But we barely did anything. We were in the back skate park. They found us. We managed to knock them out for about an hour to get away but they caught up to us. I got hit with the tranquillizer and they were run over by a train."

"Really? I guess to you that would seem very simple. But like I said, you and Sayoran were the first ever out."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I was enrolled in there once. For about a year or two. I guess you could say my parents thought I was crazy and I didn't go to school much so they took the easy way out. And so did I. They finally got fed up with me and booted me out. That's when I met Selina and Mikelle. They took me in because I refused to go home again. It also took me a while to be accepted into the gang. I cant remember what I did exactly but it was at a club on Tigers territory. They were there to plant bombs. We almost went unnoticed but someone who recognized one of the gang members very well, shook up the place. No one knew I was with them though. So when I got the chance I sneaked a gun from Mikelle and shot the leader. No one saw me and they panicked. The gang used that time to get out of the club just in time before it blew up."

"Wow. Pretty brave." I said once Nicholas finished his story.

I wasn't paying much attention until I was whacked in the face with a branch right across my nose. Nicholas heard the smack and turned around to me laughing.

"You should really watch where your going. I cant have you stick in a ditch some where now can I?"

Nicholas pulled me past the branch into him. He wrapped his arms around me as I dropped my head onto his chest. I liked this position. It was comforting. At least right up until I felt Nicholas jerk with a great force. I looked up at him to see him pull something out of his back.

"Oh no. Please no. No. No." I muttered in fear.

Nicholas had pulled a tranquillizer dart out of his back. I heard voices shouting. But I wasn't listening to what they were saying. I just started to cry.

"They found me Nicholas. They are going to take me back. Please don't let them take me back."

Could Nicholas help me? Of course not. Why? He was going to be asleep in a little while. Not enough time for us to get away.

"Sakura. Stay strong. They wont hurt you. Don't fear them. Your stronger than that and you know it." Nicholas said as the 'creepy guys' that were still alive surrounded us.

"No. They will take you away from me."

"Shhh. It'll… be okay." Nicholas was starting to fade. No I couldn't have that.

"No please. Stay awake. I need you."

Nicholas bent down and kissed my lips lightly.

"I'll find you. I wont…leave here …. With out you. I promise…"

Nicholas finally drifted into darkness as he fell to the ground bring me with him….

I cant remember anything after that. I am now sitting in a room. Just a room. No furniture. No light. No nothing. I was alone. I didn't want to be alone. I wanted Nicholas and I wanted him now. I feel so greedy but I think it was for all the right reasons. Why? Because I was alone. Scared. I feared everything. Nicholas told me to be strong. But I am far from strong.

Maybe if I made a plan to attract attention to myself they would come in and I could brake out. I doubt it. I'm pretty sure this room is sound proof.

Maybe if I took out the camera that watched me from the other side of the room. How did I know it was a camera? The small red blinking light was a dead give away. Maybe that plan would work. Some one would come in to see what happen, I would use my neck braking skills and get out. But then again, that person might not be alone.

Well they had to feed me some time didn't they? Or were they murderers that were trying to kill me? I'd bet on that, if I had money. Yes I was still wear the clothes I wore to the club. I figure it has been a day or two now. The bastards were probably going to leave me in here forever.

I wonder what they did to Nicholas. Maybe they put him in a room just like this one. Maybe they kept him drugged in case they thought he was a threat. Or the fact that they already knew Nicholas from before.

Maybe he was looking for me now. Maybe they let him go and he went back to the hideout for help…. Maybe he would never come back.

No. Nicholas would come back for me. He promised.

Maybe the Wolves have noticed that we are gone and are looking for us. If Sayoran was smart, maybe he would come here. I hoped they did in case Nicholas was being held against his will. But aren't we all held here against our will? Probably. I didn't see one kid here in the month I stayed that was happy to be here. But who would think otherwise?

A beeping sound. I heard a beeping sound. Was it the camera? No it would have been beeping ever since I got here. Was it the door unlocking? No. They probably didn't trust me to not try to bite them again.

"Miss Kinomoto Sakura?"

"No it's the mail man."

Someone was obviously talking to me from some where.

"It's nice to hear your lovely voice again Sakura."

"Why don't you go kiss someone's ass with that talk."

"Your mad. I understand."

"No. I'm the happiest person alive."

"Would you like to come out?"

"No. Its pretty comfy and kind of like my home. I think I'll stay."

Now that I really looked around the room, from what I can see, there isn't one speck of dust.

"Alright. I'm sending someone down to get you. You will be escorted to your old room. And please. Try not to run away again."

"Now why would I do that? I love it here! This is even better than Disney land!"

How I wish I could bite that mans head off. Mr. Kazall deserves it.

The door opened to show one of the guards. Great. I hate these guys. Do you think they haven't ruined my life enough? We walked down the old hallways I used to know. Now. They were new. I swore to myself after I escaped to never see these walls again…. But here I am.

God! I wasn't even expecting that! Gezze the things that comes to my head when I'm writing! I love it!
