The movie had barely started when the sound of the doors leading into our theatre slammed open.

My blood chilled.

It wasn't hard for me to guess who it was.

"Shit." I hissed and slid from my seat to on the floor, my boyfriend looking at me with a more than a confused look.

"What are you-"

"Sh!" I shushed him and peeked between the seats in front of me. My suspicions confirmed, shadow hovered in front of the screen, a glinting gun in his hand.

"Alright, girl. I know you're in here. So let's make this plenty clear…" he cocked the pistol and everyone was scrambling. "come out and I won't have to find you…" he growled.

By this point, my date was on the floor next to me "what the f-k? do you- does it- that thing is talking about you… isn't it?" he whispered harshly.

I nodded slightly and kept silent.

I needed an escape route…

He's too fast to sneak past.

So every option just canceled out.

…Shit…

A gun shot fired and I ducked from the noise.

Glass shattered and the sound of a camera breaking and toppling could be heard.

"This is your final warning, human!" he spat.

I squeezed the handles of my purse and bit my lip.

"I do have to give you some props about taking my emerald… defiantly slowed me down a bit on finding you…" he continued as he pulled up theatre chairs, throwing them about.

That's it.

I reached in my purse and grabbed the gem, lifting it out silently.

"where did-" I covered my boyfriend's mouth with my free hand.

I grasped the emerald. I could practically feel the power emitting from it's smooth surfaces.

I held it closer and closed my eyes.

C'mon… work for me… take me… to… to…

A small light spurred from the gem and I grasped my date's arm.

The seats guarding us where torn away.

"found you."

He reached out for the emerald and grabbed at it.

I released my other hand to pull on the emerald to keep it in grasp.

"Chaos control!" I shouted.

A bright flash.

All the sounds, colors, and scenery twisted about.

I couldn't make out the shouting from shadow and I clenched onto the emerald for safety.

All of the swirling halted and it was quiet.

I felt weightless. I opened my eyes to find myself suspended in midst air, laying out as if skydiving. Shadow was in the same position across the emerald.

It took a second to realize that we were in the Cafeteria of my school.

Gravity returned and we began a decent, tugging for the gem.

We were nearly three feet from the ground before I shouted out the emeralds command.

The swirling, flashing and noises returned for a moment and we reappeared on one of the peaks of the school roof.

Gaining momentum, we tumbled down the shingles. He landed a punch on my stomach and I let go for only a second.

But that second cost me. He yanked away and flashed away.

I let out a scream as I realized my fate. I rolled of the eve off the second story and I was looking dead onto to concrete.

Another flash and I found myself swirling.

I tumbled across the forest floor after chaos control ended.

I clutched the ground and attempted to find my breath, gasping in the cold night air.

I looked up to see shadow standing across the small dirt clearing, a fierceness on his face that froze me in place and made my heart falter.

He didn't move and I found my voice "you… you saved…" I didn't have to finish.

"I wanted the satisfaction of killing you for myself…" he growled and dropped the emerald behind him, then tossed his pistol along with it.

The wet ground began to soak through my clothes, I attempted to stand but only made it to my knees. "please… I'm beginning you…" tears welled in my eyes.

"don't expect my pity human." he spat and paced over to me, his hand grasping tightly around my throat. "I'm going to show you just what happens when you mess with the ultimate life form." he hissed and tossed me across the clearing.

I slid over his gun and emerald, grabbing them as fast as I could muster.

I took aim with the pistol and pulled the trigger.

Click.

I pulled again.

Click.

My hand began to shake, pulling the trigger furiously.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

I tossed the pistol and he let out a demonic laugh.

I held the emerald "chaos control!"

Nothing.

"Chaos control!" I repeated.

Again, nothing.

"the only reason it worked earlier was because you had my power conjoined to it, you only had influence on the location…" by this point he had walked over and was now standing a short distance from me.

He stepped down on my wrist and I released the emerald.

I let out a scream "HELP! PLEASE, SOMEONE! ANYONE! HELP ME!"

He grabbed the collar of my shirt and yanked me up to his eye level "Yell all you want! Nobody can hear you!"

"ANYBODY!"

"Yes! Someone please help this poor girl!" he mocked.

"HELP!"

His ear twitched for a second and he slid a hand over my mouth and my cries where muffled "Shut up!"

I reduced to small whimpers.

His ears twisted and turned like little satellites.

He looked over his shoulder and in a flash he had another pistol out. I was dropped and he shot at the bushes.

The sound echoed.

A deer limped out of the bushes and he put another round into the head, the animal collapsed onto the fallen leaves.

His ears went about again.

I felt sick to my stomach, I was overwhelmed.

Nothing in the forest moved.

He turned back to me. In a harsh movement he yanked me to my feet "get up."

"What's going on?"

"move." he pushed me forewords and I started a quick walk.

"run." he sounded slightly distraught.

A wall of crystals shot up from the ground, I let out a yelp and leapt back.

"Dammit!" he hissed as we were surrounded by similar crystals.

Uh oh! Just who could that be?

give me your guesses!
