She ran as hard as she could. She had nearly no strengh left and was ready to drop to the floor and die. Micheal however, wasn't tired. He was gaining on her very quickly. Serena couldn't run anymore. She was out of energy. She collapsed to the floor.

"Well Serena. Looks like your at my feet," Serena kicked out her foot, causing him to fall in a chair. Serena took this opertunity to run out of the room

"You wish," she called out. She saw an elevator and pushed the button. she got in and closed the door. Surprisingly, Micheal wasn't anywhere around. She dropped to her knees and let herself rest as the elevator made its way slowly to the top floor. The second she felt as she was rested enough, she pushed a random number, which turned out to be the eleventh floor. As soon as the doors opened, she rushed out. She saw a fire extenguisher. Well, it worked once, she thought, punching the glass and yanking it out. she opened the door to a confrence room, walked in, and locked the door. This was a thirteen story building and the chances of him finding her in that one particular room wasn't likely. But knowing Micheal, he probably would eventually. Noticing a phone, she decided to call Darien. I have to remember to thank Rei for giving me his number, she thought.

"Hello?" an extreamly tired and worried sounding voice answered.

"Darien, its Sere,"

"SERE? GOD WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU OK?"

"I'm fine. I'm here at city hall and..."

"I know! Sere, its all over the news! CNN recorded what happened! First they were talking about a drunk looking girl screaming that Governor Moore was a target. Then they showed a recording of you pushing the guy out of the way just as Micheal fired! They showed him flipping out and now their evacuating the building so they could find you guys!"

"I highly doubt they found Micheal,"

"They didn't. I'm pulling up in the front and theres a huge freaking crowd of reporters!"

"If you get in, I'll be on the eleventh floor. Do you have a wepon?"

"No,"

"Crap. He has a pocketknife and I'm hiding in a confrence room. Be here as soon as you can!" Serena hung up just as Micheal pried open the door with a crowbar he'dsomehow gotten somewhere.

"So Micheal, what are you going to do with that crowbar?" Micheal smiled and walked up to her.

"This," he responded, swinging the crowbar to her head. Serenaexpected it, so she ducked and avoided the blow. She took the extenguisher by the hose and swung it at his head, careful not to let it go. She ran out of the room...to se Darien standing in the elevator. Before he could do anything, she pushed him back in the elevator and pressed a button and the doors closed. They were going down when Serena fell against the wall.

"Darien. I can't take this anymore. Everywhere I go, he's there. Everytime I talk on the phone, he's listining. Everytime I sleep, he's in my dreams. He's everywhere I am and I hate it!" she broke down crying. This was the first time in almost three weeks that she had really cried about this. Darien pulled her against his chest and held her.

"Sere, I'm sure everything will come out ok,"

"How can it? You know how he is. He's around 24/7 and is getting creepier and violenter. You saw what happened earlier!"

"Sere, the cops are all over the place. We'll have them search all the floors," he said, kissing her. Serena pulled away.

"Darien. Any normal guy would run away. Why are you even with me? I'm a living death trap!"

"Sere. I care about you. I would never forgive myself if something happened. I already hate myself for not stopping him when he...you know..."

"Dar, it was my choice. And he let you go! And wheres Rini?"

"She's downstairs. So are your parents,"

"They know?"

"Yes. Everyone does,"

"Shit," she muttered.

"Look. He won't hurt them..."

"YES HE WILL! LOOK WHAT HE DID TO YOU AND RINI! HE COULD HAVE KILLED YOU!" At that moment the doors opened on the second floor and Serena went running. She soonrelized that Micheal was behind her. How the hell did he get here? she wondered. Oh well. She suddenly had an idea. She ran into a confrence room with Micheal at her heels. He shut the door and pushed her in a wall.

"What is it with you and shoving me in walls?"

"I like seeing you backed up underneath me. Now listen. Everyone knows. And trust me...I will make sure they suffer so badly and you will watch"

"Don't you touch them!"

"I can do what I wan..."

"FREEZE!" they heard a sound. Micheal turnedaround in surpriseto see three cops pointing guns at him.

"DROP HER!" Micheal smiled and wrapped his hand around her neck.

"You shoot, I'll kill," Serena brought her knee up into his groin. He let her go and doubled over in pain as she ran over to the cops. The cops handcuffed him andled him away. Serena saw Darien standing outside the doorway. Sheand ran over to kiss him.

A/N: Its rushed, but it will do. I'm thinking of doing a sequal. Should I?
