Run ...

I didn't know where I was going. I had no idea where I was, what time it was, what day, anything. The endless hallways never stopped as I turned corner after corner. I was fast; faster than anyone or anything I had known. It was like I was floating over the floor, my feet easily gliding over the hard marble surface.

I could hear everything; people talking in the countless rooms I passed, cars and people walking around outside miles away, everything. It scared me. This wasn't normal; I shouldn't be this fast, I shouldn't be hearing all of these things, my throat shouldn't be burning so badly. I should be dead. I was burning, a pile of ashes on the floor. I should be long forgotten, but I wasn't.

The large man I had seen before suddenly appeared at the end of the hallway, causing me to screech to a halt and turn the other way. I went to run back where I came, but the other man was there, staring at me. His eyes were a deep, blood red. There was a small window next to him, causing him to be lit up in the sunlight. His skin was like marble; tiny little fragments catching the sun's rays, making his look as if he was glowing, or even sparkling.

They weren't human. They couldn't be. I tried to look for an escape as they slowly came closer to me, trapping me between them with no way out. I could feel myself start to panic, the breathing going up, but yet I felt no heartbeat in my chest. 'I'm one of them' I said to myself, beginning to shake in fear. 'You're not human anymore. They did something to you'.

They were too close; they couldn't come any closer or I was going to lose it. "Calmare..." the larger man said sternly, coming even closer than before, almost in arm's length of me. "Noi non siamo qui per farti del male. Sei al sicuro con noi" the other man said in a more gentle tone.

I backed up quickly, slamming into the wall behind me as so many thoughts began to run through my mind. 'Kidnapped, rape, death, beaten, immortal...'.

The two men were coming even closer, seeming as though they wanted to comfort me. I didn't want their comfort. They did this to me. They turned me into whatever I now was. They killed me.

I covered my ears with my hands, and with all of the power I had, screamed.

Translations:

calmare - calm down
