I'm running as fast as I can. Which isn't very fast considering I'm not used to running at all and I've never been an athletic person so this isn't a very good situation to be in right now.

I really should have exercised more.

I hear the loud footsteps of all the men behind me, the sound of gravel underneath us as we run down the long path inside of the forest by his mansion. I'm actually quite surprised they haven't caught me yet. You know what, maybe I am a good runner after all!

I look behind me and see that they are a couple feet away from me. Okay never mind.

My legs are getting weaker but I can't stop. I finally managed to get out of this place, so I can't screw this up. I make sure to keep breathing properly so I'm not wasting all of my energy however I can slowly feel myself slowing down, making me want to burst out in tears. After what seems to be hours of running, which I know is only a few minutes, I look behind me again, still running and notice that I have managed to out-run all the men that where chasing me since they were no where to be seen. Weird.

I ignore that fact and carry on running, until I see a road making me stop just before I put my feet on it just in case a car might suddenly go past. I don't really fancy getting run over. I put my hands on my knees, hunching over trying to catch my breath.

It takes me about a minute to catch my breath, and I put my hands over my cheeks feeling how hot they are. Jeez that's my workout done for the year. I put my hands on my hips looking around trying to figure out where about I am. The road is pretty much deserted and I can't see anything else apart from trees which doesn't help at all.

I put my hands on top of my head and throw it back groaning loudly. What is my life. I look behind me at the forest, all the trees covering up what is further down making me sigh. I hope I really did manage to get rid of them. I look back at the road and let my hands fall from my head and start walking, following the road down to who knows where.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've just been walking down all the roads for ages, not knowing where I'm going, but it's not like I have a choice. There's literally nothing else around, just the roads and trees. There are so many sounds that I keep hearing, making me very paranoid so every second I'm looking around making sure Matteo and everyone else won't just jump out at me and kill me.

I put my hands further in my sleeves and my hood up from the hoodie I'm wearing since it's getting darker and a lot colder. Why is there nothing else around here? I look up at the sunset noticing how pretty it is tonight making me smile slightly, but then I hear a noise behind me making me snap my head round to see what it is. My smile widens and I stop, seeing a car coming my way making me wave my hands around like a mad woman.

I see the car start to slow down, making me bounce on my toes excitedly. Maybe the person inside the car can help me? The car stops on the side of me, however I can't see inside since the windows are tinted making me frown. I look around me, before hesitantly knocking on the window. After a couple of seconds, the front side window, rolls down revealing a man that's quite skinny and has a lot of tattoos all over him. He looks me up and down with a glare before turning his head to the other side of him and starts whispering to the person next to him, nodding every now and then making me nervous. Maybe this isn't such a good idea, what if these people know Aaron? These thoughts make me back away slightly.

"U-um sorry, I actually think I'm gonna keep going" I smile nervously, pointing my thumb in front of me indicating that I was leaving however the two men at the front came out of the car, as well as two other men from the back which I didn't even know that they where there.

My eyes widen in fear and I quickly stumble backwards, and noticing that they are all slowly making their way towards me I start moving faster backwards, before I turn around and break out into a sprint. I hear all of them behind me making me curse in my head, why is this happening again? Suddenly, a heavy weight crashes into me making me fall forwards crashing onto the floor, my hands and knees scraping the hard gravel making me wince. I quickly sit up, noticing the cuts that are oozing blood on my hands, but before I can do anything else I'm picked up harshly by my arm making me scream in fear.

I'm turned to face the man that has a grip on me and the first thing I notice is a long scar on his cheek making me cringe inside. Poor dude, I wonder what happened. A cloth is then tightly placed on my mouth and nose making me stupidly breathe in harshly not expecting it, which makes me instantly feel drowsy. I try to keep my eyes open as long as possible but all I can make out and feel is me being thrown over someones shoulder, before I'm put into the back with two men on either side of me. It gets harder to keep my eyes open, so I just decide to accept my fate and surrender to the darkness. For a second time.
