I pressed my body against the brick siding of the building, praying he wouldn't search too hard into the shadows. The dumpster cast a pitch black gloom around my body, wrapping around me like a blanket.

"Great, almost all the girl's in Japan wore a size 7 ½ shoe," he muttered to himself as he threw my white flat into the dumpster. I looked forlornly at my bare right foot. Cold water washed over my pale skin, sending shocks of ice up my bloodstream. I shuddered, and as soon as the tall young man walked around the corner of the building, I peeked out. Rain started to fall against my face, and I sighed. Of course, with my luck, it would rain.

My heart thumped painfully against my ribcage, and I began to think that it just might shoot right out of my chest. The metal collar around my neck seemed to absorb the cold, and in no time, I felt as though the collar had turned to a ring of ice. I placed a hand upon it, and sighed. It was cold, and reminded me of my cage.

My feet padded against the floor until I made it to an old bridge. I sat down on the steps to the bridge, the cold concrete causing me to feel colder then ever. The rain pounded against my skin. Oh how I wished it would stop. My head fell against my knees, as I pulled them ever closer to my chest.

The sounds of footsteps reached my ears. I knew who it was by the sound of the foot steps. Crunch, Clunk. It was him.

"So then, Midorai, what are you doing so far away from Skye Corp.?" his young voice wrapped around me.

"..." I didn't reply.

"We at Wyngs would be willing to give you things Skye could never give," he replied. I felt his hand fall upon my shoulder. My muscles tensed upon contact, like he had hit me.

"Yeah, and what would those so called liberties be??" I replied.

"You would have freedoms."

"With limits and restrictions," I replied.

"You would be free of that cage you were kept in."

"You would just put me in a bigger one, and call it a 'Safe Room'."

"Why are you away from Skye, anyway?"

"I ran away."

"That can't be safe, they'll come after you."

"Then I'll run away, again."

"You'll be running forever, please just come back... Midorai..." he trailed off, and placed one smooth hand under my chin, pulling my face up to meet his. His steel gray eyes seemed to stare into my soul.

"No..." I trailed off, as I did my best to break his gaze. His face was handsome enough, pale in skin color, but an even paler scar went right across his right eye, marring his still rugged good looks. (sorry, had to say it!!)

I pulled myself to a standing position, and I winced to hear my skirt's hem tear horribly. I looked down, my torn skirt now cut well above my knees. The culprit to the tear was his shoe. He murmured something of an apology to me, and looked away. I smoothed my skirt, attempting in vain to keep what was left of my dignity.

"Wait, Midorai, what are you doing?!?!" his voice was tinged with worry and his hand shot out and it clasped mine very hard and rough. I bit my lip. I knew what awaited me back there, and I need to escape. Escape... I pulled away, and ran.

My hand ripped away from his, and I ran, my hair whipping around my body, and my face, and it gave me the sensation of wet ropes hitting my skin. I could hear him scramble to get up, but he knew there was no way to catch me. I felt my left foot slip out of my other shoe, and I cursed my stupidity for not securing my shoes. I felt the sensation of concrete scrape the soft soles of my feet. There! A small alley way. I ducked into it, and looked around. It was dark, gloomy, and had a terrible odor of garbage, but it would do. I then did what I did best.

I flew.

That's it!! What do you think?? Like I said, this has a kind of sappy thing, but just a note, the man doesn't like or love Midorai, he's just trying to get her to go back to Wyngs with him. Thanks!! Next chapter coming up!
