(....yeah, i'm gonna go sleep now)

PS. I just added a tweensy bit to the ending. Nothing drastic.

She didn't know how long she had been running, but she was getting tired. How much longer she could keep this up she had no idea. Clutching the G.P.S, she slowed to a walk. I'm far away enough…. I think. He said run as far away as I can… he'll find me.

Akeela was along a none busy street, thankfully. It looked very familiar though, the more peaceful part of town.

She sighed and looked at the sky, it was almost evening now. The sky was clearer now, the setting sun shone through pink clouds, gently bouncing off of the tree's leaves. Akeela folded her hands behind her back, just this morning she had went to the doctors with her mom. Just this morning something had happened too her mom. Akeela shook her head, I want too sleep… it's too much.

Sighing, she walked for a few more minutes. Maybe I can find a place to sleep, and eat.

Now realizing just how tired and hungry she was, Akeela immediately started looking for home residences. Twenty feet ahead of her, she saw stairs leading upwards. Whats at the top? Food? Akeela wondered, starting up the steps. Arriving at the top, memories flooded back too her.

There was that huge tree that had caught her attention, and the weird building they had stepped out of. This was the place where they came out of the well!

Akeela smiled broadly, I can go home now! She said too herself, starting too walk towards the well house, But… what about Karu… he wouldn't know I would have left… he'd be worried. Just like mama would be. Akeela slowed her steps, now in the center of the courtyard.

A ways from her, one of the main buildings doors opened, she started and shot her look over to the voices.

"Ah, I see. Well no, we haven't seen anything unusual lately." Answered a womans voice, she sounded slightly confused.

"Oh! Well thank you very much, anyway. Do let us know if you ever see anything." Said a gruff voice, "I'm sorry for taking up your time."

The woman replied, but Akeela tuned her out, she was too intent on that voice. That voice. She would know it anywhere. It was the voice of that doctor! Doctor Yuri! Akeela shivered, Why's…he…here…. Not knowing what too do, she stood there awkwardly as Yuri turned around. He looked startled for a moment and took a double take, his eyes widened, "There she is!" He shouted, diving out of the house as four other men came barreling after him.

Akeela's eyes widened in fear, They going to chase me…? She looked behind the advancing figures. Still standing in the doorway with a confused expression on her face stood the mom, with a small girl beside her. She had shoulder length black, raven hair and brown eyes, she looked to be about four years old.

All of a sudden, a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere, knocking off her hat. Akeela gasped and looked back towards the door. The mother and child were both startled, their eyes wide in fright. Akeela's wolfy ears were in plain sight.

Akeela frowned, Their scared of me too… Turning, she ran towards the exit, and starting to run as fast as she could down the stairs. Little did she know, they had left two men behind waiting at the bottom of the stairs (who were not there when she went up, obviously), so when she turned the corner, she ran right into a big potato sack looking thing. Squealing, she squirmed with all of her might.

Now, as you may know, five year olds can be on the heavy side, and when they come barreling down the stairs incredibly fast… one man may have a little trouble holding it together.

One of the corners came down, which gave Akeela the chance she needed. Taking the opportunity, she dived out of the bag, now in the center of six burly men. Instead of being scared and whimpering, she was getting mad. "Stop…chasing….me…." She growled, getting down on all fours, her body seemed to pulsate as her eyes flickered red. She bared her teeth and laid her ears down flat. Even as a five year old, she looked mean.

The men gasped as her eyes flickered colors and backed off a little, Yuri stood behind one of the bigger men, "Well, w-what are you waiting for men?! Get her!" Akeela immediately shot her look to the despicable man and glowered, making Yuri trembled. Crouching, she lunged. Right past him. Taking the chance, she used all the power she had and ran as fast as her legs (and arms..?) could carry her. Outside, she did indeed look dangerous, but on the inside she was starting to tremble.

________________________________________________________________

Karu glanced down at the G.P.S, she had slowed down. Must be a little tired. The dot stopped entirely, and he was a little confused. There are no roads there… she must be outside or inside a residence.

A few seconds went by and he checked again, this time she was moving oober** fast. It looked like she was detained for a moment, moved a little bit, and than shot off like a dart another twenty seconds later.

"Crap…" He muttered, something had happened. She only moved that fast when someone was chasing her.

Pressing on the accelerator a little bit, he estimated he would possibly catch up to her in five minutes.

As he was so preoccupied with his thoughts, he didn't notice a very watchful vehicle trailing him ever so carefully.

_____________________________________________________________________

Akeela ran and ran, she had heard the men jump into their vehicles and start to speed after her, but she had moved away from the main road, hopefully slowing them down. It seemed like she was in a forest area, there was a gravel road nearby, but it seemed she was on the outskirts of the strange village.

Seeing the roof of an old building, she sped up her pace and eventually arrived at it. It was a tall, broken down barn. Obviously not used anymore. The vibrant red paint was now just a dim, rusty looking color. The door was slightly open, hanging on one hinge. The roof had a few holes in it from daily weather action.

Standing outside the door, she gulped, Mom would say… "Which is more scarier?"

Akeela thought a minute, it was either get caught by the scary guys, or go into a scary building to hide. Debating it for a minute, she walked slowly through the open door.

Inside it was dimly lit, the holes in the roof and broken windows supplying the light. Seeing an old ladder too the loft, she quickly climbed up it. There wasn't much different up there either, more musty hay, bird poo, all that good stuff. There were floor boards missing as well. Gotta be extra careful… She thought, observing the ten foot drop. Of course, since she was half-demon, a fall like that wouldn't do too much damage, a sore tailbone of course. But she was more durable than a human.

Making her way over too a corner, she hunkered down, waiting for any sound. Karu said he'd find me…. He said so…. So he has too… right? A few more minutes passed, and the past events came back too Akeela, I… almost gave in. She curled up into a ball, pressing herself into the corner. The other part of her… almost got out.

::Flashback::

Yuki rocked the little girl back and forth in her arms, holding her close. The girl had scared herself so bad, anything like that happening and not knowing what had happened would be scary in itself.

"Akeela, Akeela," She cooed, "It's alright. It's gone now, your fine."

The girl turned red rimmed eyes too her mother, "But… I wasn't me, I was getting so mad, something wanted out…. Scary…!!" Akeela whimpered again, hiding her face in her mothers arms.

Yuki continued rocking herself, stroking Akeela's hair, "My darling… nothing scary will happen. You just need to learn to control yourself better."

Akeela had gotten so angry, the other part of her, the demon part, had almost escaped. Well, technically it had escaped, but thankfully, she had been able to suppress it.

Akeela turned in her moms arms again, looking intently at her face, "I can control it?"

Yuki nodded, still rocking, "You are not a demon, Akeela. You are not a murderer or anything like that. Your you. Don't let that other side take over you, because it's not who you are. Just be yourself."

::End of Flashback::

Akeela jolted out of her thoughts when she heard a car door slam, "She may be in here, hiding. Let's check."

"Fine, hurry it up." Yuri said, he was getting irritated, "She's causing too much trouble for a little monster."

Akeela gritted her teeth at that word, "I'm…not…a…monster…" She growled under her breath.

"Oi, what was that? I thought I heard some scuffling in the loft."

"It's probably her, let's go." Yuri ordered.

Walking inside, they peered upwards. Still not able too see her.

"Come out, come out." Taunted Yuri, "If you come without a fuss, we'll be nice too you."

There was no reply.

He huffed and turned to the leader of his men, "Scare her out."

He nodded and brought out his pistol, aiming by where he had heard the scuffling before, he pulled the trigger.

Akeela shrieked as the bullet went right through the wood, five feet from where she was sitting. Jumping up she darted across the loft, the boards groaned under her weight. And, as it would go, the next board she stepped on, cracked. With a scream, Akeela plunged downwards, doing a frontwards roll as she landed.

Shaking her head, she slowly sat up, dazed, and stared at the figures looming before her.

The closest man grabbed the color of her shirt and jerked her onto her feet, "Time to spill all that you know, little one." He growled.

"Let her go." Rumbled a voice from behind.

Spinning around, Yuri faced a very mad looking man.

Akeela started too cry, from relief and terror, "Karu!" She sobbed, reaching out her hand too him.

Yuri immediately pulled out his gun as Karu started too move forward, "Don't even think about it." He growled, "Who are you?"

"Police."

Yuri laughed, "The police is now siding with this little monster? Hah!" He laughed, "I bet you would just put her in a lab and experiment on her, making sure she's not some secret weapon or something." Akeela quickly shot her gaze over to Karu, confused, "At least I would do something more worthwhile," Yuri continued, "I would show her off, make her and myself rich and famous! We'd be making headlines everywhere!"

Karu narrowed his eyes and quickly reached for his gun, stuck in his back pocket. He had left his 'work gun' at home, but just in case, he always carried one in the glove box. One of the men beat him too it and grabbed his arm, "Not gonna happen, buddy." He whispered in his ear, taking the gun out of his pocket and tossing it to one of his mates.

Yuri scratched the back of his head, "I really didn't want to make my hands dirty, but I can tell you won't give up so easily." Karu tensed, hoping what he thought was going to happen, wouldn't. "Blake, dispose of him."

Akeela's eyes went wide, the man who was holding her, Blake, started to reach for his gun. "Hold him." The man ordered, slipping a couple bullets into it. Karu immediately tried to wriggle out of the one mans grasp, but was soon caught by the other. Now caught in between, he had no way of escape.

"No! Don't hurt Karu!!" Akeela wailed, trying to get out of Blake's grasp. He only held on tighter. Moving his free arm, he raised his arm and took aim. Karu stared at the gun pointing at him, paralyzed. His heart was beating so rapidly, he felt a few drops of perspiration drip down his face. Barely able to move his gaze, he focused on Akeela. She looked so scared, so he tried to smile.

Blake pulled the trigger. The sound was deafening for Akeela, it seemed too echo in the empty forest.

She stared in horror, tears pouring down her face as Karu stood stock still, his eyes wide in shock, his small smile totally dissipated. The men on either side of him let go of his arms, and he slowly sank down to his knees, falling forward.

Akeela stared in terror as he fell down, panicking at the blood starting to surround his body. "No….no…."

"Karu!!!!!!!!!!"
