A/N: Hey guys I am so so sorry for the unexpected Hiatus! My computer crashed so I had to get it repaired and my family is stubborn so no one let me use theirs but I ended up getting a new one the other one was too fucked up...hehe. Well anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter I'll try to update as much as I can. :) Once again so sorry. Please R&R.

I'm running but the pathway is endless. It's pitch black and I can't see a thing all I know is I need to get away. I need to get away from him. I know he's not far behind me so I can't stop to catch my breath because if I do he'll get me.

That's when I trip and fall to the ground but before I can get back up he's there looming over me. He starts hitting me and kicking me. All I do is whimper and scream. Then he grabs me by my neck and and pulls me up to look him in the eye and he starts shaking me, screaming at me and telling me I could never run from him that he would always find me. He told me if I ever ran away he'd kill me.

I woke up panting with sweat dripping down my face. For a moment I couldn't remember what was going on then the dream came back to me and shivers went down my spine. I knew what I had to do I had to get away I had to. There was no other option I couldn't stay I couldn't, not anymore not after all the pain and suffering he put me through all these years. I had to leave I had to get out I just couldn't do it anymore. The problem with that was that I didn't know where to go, I had no one. I just knew that in that moment I needed to leave and I couldn't let him find me...not ever. I knew that he would kill me if I ran but only if he found me and that's why I couldn't let that happen. My dream was in a sense real because I knew that's exactly what would happen if he ever found me. I glanced at my alarm clock and noticed it was already 4pm Gamzee may or may not be here soon I had to make up my mind of whether or not I wanted to risk it and I decided to risk it.

I quickly jumped out of the bed forgetting the cut on my leg and cheek because I just didn't care anymore.

I grabbed my backpack and dumped all the supplies out before going to our dresser and pulling out a few shirts and a pair of pants, stuffing them into the bag. Next I went to the top of our closet and pulled down the shoebox I kept up their(Gamzee didn't know it was there). I opened it and pulled out all the money I had in it($1000). I had been saving for whatever reason just to have it if I needed it and I did need it I needed it to escape so I quickly grabbed all the money and put the box back in the closet. I grabbed my wallet with my I.D and drivers license, putting the money in there before running out of the house.

I hoped that Gamzee wouldn't be home for awhile he usually stayed out late but sometimes he came home early I hoped today wouldn't be one of those days I needed all the time I could get I needed a good amount of space between us if I wanted to get away.

I was so caught up in running that I didn't even watch where I was going until I ran into someone. I mumbled a quick 'sorry' and tried to walk away but before I could I was pulled back. I looked up and there he was just looking back at me and right then I knew I was done for. He stared back at me with a look one that said 'You're dead' but before he could do anything I suddenly got this rush of energy and I kicked him in the stomach before running off.

I ran and I ran I wanted to look back but I knew if I did he'd get me so I kept going I ran for about 15 minutes before dashing into an alley and leaning against the wall trying to catch my breath. I slid down the wall into a sitting position and cradled my head in my hands silently crying. 'That was so close I could have been caught and I don't even want to know what he would do to me if that happened.' I thought to myself.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jumped quickly getting to my feet ready for what was to come except when I turned it wasn't him. In fact I didn't know who this guy was.

My name is Karkat Vantas and I'm about to make the worst mistake imaginable.

A/N: Sorry if this chapter seems sort of rushed but I just wanted to update seeing as how I haven't for almost 3 weeks. Hope you enjoyed. Reviews appreciated. :)
