Midnight Run
What Ever You do Don't Run

"I can't leave you here like this…" Tears were streaming down her face. Burying her hands in her pockets, she pulled out an orange cell phone, hitting the keys lightly.
"Uhhhhhhg."
Waite did he just grown?
"Uhhh… what the hell?" His once motionless chest now moved up and down.
Maka was frozen, eyes starting eyes widening as small tremors shuck her body. "Y-you're alive?"
The boy froze as if in an 'oh shit' moment. For a second she thought that he was back to being dead. "Hey….. " He lifted his head to look at her. Breath caught in her throat when his red eyes met her olive green ones. "Are you a vampire or something?"
"Ok you hit me with your car…and now you're insulting me? I can't believe this!" He smacked his head down on the road, taking a deep breath. "Anyway, I'm surprised your still here." He said while looking up at the scattered clouds in the sky, a grin on his face. "Well this was very unexpected, HAH!" slapping his less mutilated hand on the ground. "Go figure; I was hit by one of the only caring people in town!" He broke out laughing, his husky voice filling the air.
Maka's heart was beating profusely. What's with this guy? "how can you possibly laugh! Your probably crippled!" her voice started to tremble like the rest of her body. "You might never walk again…" she whispered stiffening a sob.
The White haired boy stopped laughing, laying his lazy gaze on the girl, eyes widening, as his pupils followed a tear as it made its way down her cheek. He watched as she buried her face in her elbow to try and hide her tears. "Hey?" his words were soft but managed to get Maka's attention. "Why do you even care?... it's not like you know-"
A growl erupted from bushes at the edge of the road, right behind the boy. Keeping his eyes locked on her, he watched as fear crept over her face. Boredom was the only thing his eyes projected.
Maka couldn't look away from his gaze; even as every fiber of her being was telling her to get the hell out of there and run screaming back to the car. But her heart, for some reason, wouldn't… couldn't let her leave him there. She took a few steps closer.
"What are you doing?" his eyes were now wide." Aren't you going to run?"
"Not without you." She said, brows furrowing as she scanned the tree line.
He just laughed again. "Wow you either have a lot of guts or you're really stupid!"
Twigs snapped behind the white haired boy as a giant paw hit the roads surface, it almost seemed to drag the rest of a beast threw. A wolf… no, a monster wolf stood just meters away from the crippled boy.
Maka couldn't move as the beast looked her in the eye; sizing her up with his intense dark blue orbs. The boy just sat there listening, eyes closed in concentration. The beast looked at the boy then slowly shifted his massive head to look at her jeep, and back at her again. It almost seemed as if he was putting the whole scenario together. Suddenly the wolf let loose a terrible growl that vibrated through her very bones.
"run." the boy merely stated. Not hearing fleeing footsteps he looked up. "Run." he said again more urgently. Tilting his head he looked back at the beast that was now bearing its razor sharp teeth. As his eyes came back to her Maka could see the fear in his red orbs. " Get the hell out of here already!"
Maka shifted on her feet.
"Get out of here you stupid girl! Forget about me, you're going to get hurt!"
Hurt? She thought. More like torn to shreds. Maka planted her feet, still looking the wolf in the eye. "RUN!" He desperately shouted, his tone seemingly jogging her out of her stupidity allowing fear to grip her like a vise.
The wolf stood over the boy, head rose to the extent of its height, ears flattened against its head, still growling. In a flash the wolf grabbed the boy by the shoulder. Maka watched in horror as he was dragged into the woods. "GET OUT OF HERE!" was all he managed to shout before being pulled into the brush.
Something inside her clicked, and she ran. From behind her she could hear bones being snapped. She didn't look back, she couldn't.
Flying forward Maka managed to fling herself into the jeep and turn the ignition. As she did the wolf crashed through the brush onto the road once more, shaking leaves and twigs from its pelt it began to bound toward her.
Foot hitting the gas, she launched the car forward. 40, 60, 70; the needle was still climbing when she looked back in the mirror. The huge blue wolf was nowhere to be seen.
