An Unnamed Story

PROLOGUE

I could feel his presence. He was here. It was too late. Ended before it began. My life had met it end.
I lay in the dark, holding my breath. Maybe he wouldnt notice me. Maybe I was overreacting. Maybe it was all just my imagination.
Those hopes all shattered as I heard my name drift through the air and hover over my head like an annoying misquote.
“Alice,” I head the voice call a second time. I was stiff with fear. I could hear my lungs screaming for air but take a breath I did not.
“Alice. There’s no point in hiding. I know your in here,” he was in my room! Why didn’t he see me? I was right there. Surely he was only doing this to torment me right? But he turned and left the room, gliding swiftly down the hallway.



CHAPTER 1

The last bell of the day rang. Summer break had arrived at last.
I jumped out of my seat and raced out of the door. The halls were filled with cheering teenagers. Even some of the teachers cried with joy. I knew I was safe here. He wouldn’t come after me with so many people around to see. I smiled and joined a group of friends outside. The air was warm and the sun was bright. The perfect last day of grade 11. One year left before collage. There were six in our group right now, we were still waiting for Mace, he was always getting caught up in something. We had planned a few days ago to head out to the beach today. Dani had for gotten her bikini at her house so Chris took her home to get it. People were always curious to know as how I could survive being around my group of friends. There were 4 girls and 3 guys, all dating each other. I was the left-over. But that was fine with me.
mace finally came scrambling down the stairs and out onto the lawn. We all piled in My car and headed to the beach. Hopefully I would still be safe with 6 other people around. Hopefully I wasn’t putting my friends in danger.

My truck rumbled to a stop beside an overgrown boardwalk. Chris and Dani hadn’t arrived yet. Dan and Mace jumped out of the back of my old rusty pick-up and came around to open the doors for us girls. Dan went to the passenger side to let out Susan and Elise, while Mace came to let me out. the guys always competed against each other. Each day brought a new contest. Today it was to see who could be the most gentleman like.
Susan, with her dark curls and long eyelashes, slid out first, making sure to step on Dan’s foot. You could see Dan tense up. The group of four girls were always trying to make the competitions harder for the guys. Dan had to be a gentlmen, he could not lose against Mace.
I heard a click and turned to see mace waiting patiently outside my door. His mop of red hair and his sweet smile reminded me of Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. I laughed as Mace tryed to open my door again. i had locked it. I have Mace the cutest smile i could and reached to unlock the door.
“OWW!!!” I swiveled around just in time to see Dan clutching his arm. Elise was grinning from ear to ear, her long brown hair falling over her shoulders. Her green eyes sparkled. I have always envied Elise. I think every girl did. Every guy that had layed eyes on her fell for her, even guys who had girlfriends. She was good at sports, had a body that every gril wanted and an amazing natural tan.
“Oh, I’m sorry Hun! I guess I’m stronger than I thought.” Elise pouted as she said this, sticking her lower lip out as far as she possibly could.
I was in mid-laugh when I remembered Mace. I turned back to my door and unlocked it. He opened my door, a look of satisfaction glowing on his face. Thats when it hit him.
Mace was knocked to the ground from the impact of the door hitting his head. he groaned a bit then laughed.
�Poor Mace� I thought, �he just has the worst of luck.� I got out of the truck and reached down to help mace back up to his feet.
� Are you ok macey??� Susan was now by my side. �What happened? Did Alice hit you?�
�It wasn�t Alice. It was the door,� Mace was obviously in pain, he had taken quite a hard crack.
�The door did this to you!! Alice, you should punish the door!� Susan was dead serious as she said this. She was the flake of the group. Susan beat blonds at their own game.
�ok,� I replied, � i will do that as soon as I get home.� Everybodyy started to laugh. Everyone but Susan.
Chris and Dani arrived in Chris� red jeep. They climbed out and joined the rest of us. Both Chris and Dani noticed noticed how everyone was laughing while Susan stood looking stunned. Chris raised an eyebrow at Dan, but Dan was laughing to hard to notice. Chris shook his full head of blond curls.
Once the four of us that were laughing calmed down we started down the boardwalk. the guys went first, seeing who could beat down the most weeds and protect us girls from getting scratched.
When they finally reached the beautiful beach Dan and Chris had discovered last summer, everyone took off their shoes and began to race towards the water, everyone except me. I loved swimming. I loved the feel of pushing myself towards teh surface. i loved teh warm sun beating on my head then ducking back underwater. Today though, swimming was one thing I did not want to do. HE could be watching. If He saw that nobody was looking He could pull me under and drown me. i know He wants me dead, but I made myself believe he wouldn’t do it with others around. I was trying to come up with reasons not to go in the water when I felt a hand on my arm. I almost screamed but I realized it was only Dan.
“Alice,” his voice was calm and smooth, “will come come with me a sec? I need your help with something.”
“Umm… Sure Dan” I wasn’t sure whqat he needed help with but i wanted a reason not tto go in the water.
Dan slid his hand down my arm and wrapped his fingers around my wrist. i was starting to have second thoughts as i was being led through the woods. “Dan, can you loosen your grip please? Your hurtiing me.”
Dan turned around and his features were distorted. His brown eyes were now a pale grey, his skin was almost the same colour as his eyes, and he had a scar running from the corner of his left eye down his cheek. it reminded me of a permanent tear streak. I knew that face. i would recognize it anywhere. It was Him. i don’t know what he is, or exactly how powerful he is. All i know is tat he is extreamly powerful, and He wants me dead.
i tried to pull away, but my attempts were no match for Him. i began to thrash about, trying to put Him in the slightest bit of pain. It was useless, so I did the only other thing I could. I screamed. I screamed as loud as i possibly could, in hopes that someone would hear. I ran out of breath fast, but I knew it worked.
“Alice!” I could hear my name being called in chorus, “Alice!” The voices were getting louder and i could hear twigs cracking under peoples feet.
“Help!” I yelled, hoping to lead them in my direction.
The grip on my wrist loosened. I turned to look at Him, but He had disappeared.Only a fraction of a second later Chris and Dani came into view.
“Alice! Are you ok? What happened?” Dani’s voice was filled with concern.
I stood up from where i had crashed after running out of energy. “I-” my throat was dry, causing my voice to crack, “I don’t want to talk about it right now.’
“ok the. Lets go back to the beach. I’ll call the others.” Dani’s voice had changed from concern to worry. She wanted so badly to know what was wrong, but Dani wasnt one for pushing.
I nodded and took a small step before collapsing. He must have sapped my of my energy before leaving.
I could hear Dani whispering something to Chris. I felt hands being slipped under my limp body, then being picked up, and all went black.

[♥ Lauren]

Ok I wrote more. Sorry it took so long for me to post it here. I kind forgot i had started writing it on here too.

I blinked once, twice, the opened my eyes.
I was in a room where all the walls were white. the floor was white the ceiling was white, i sat up and even the sheets on the bed were white.
I started to panic. Oh no, please don’t be happening. I can’t be back there with Him. Please, God, please let me wake up from this nightmare.
“Honny, are you okay?”
I almost jumped out of my skin. I hadn’t realized there was someone else in the room.
“mom?”
“It’s okay honey, we’re just in the hospital. You fainted when you were at the beach, you must have hit your head because its been almost 2 days”.
It all started to come back to me. The beach, the walk, Him. “Mom, he found me again.
We cant keep running, he will just keep following.” I started to cry. The tears running slowly down my cheeks.
“He’s back?” My mother went pale. This was not something she needed to deal with. Its not something anyone needs to deal with.
I flopped back down on the pillow. “Oh NO!” I sat up again a bit to quickly, I was dizzy. “He is going to go after my friends again. He saw them coming and he left. they ruined his plan, now he’s going to hurt them. Just like the last ones. We need to get out of here I have to see if they are okay.”
” You change into some clothes I brought you a bag so there are some clean ones in there.”
Most mothers probably wouldn’t agree to rush their child out of the hospital so they could go see their friends. This case however, my mom understood. We both understood.
I quickly threw on some clothes, a white tank and navy sweatpants. Now wasn’t the time to care about appearance. I ran out the door and down the hall. Mom had already gone to bring the car around. I flew out the door and jumped into the small silver car. “Here’s your cell you left it at home. Call your friends and tell them you will meet them at the front of our house in 10 minutes. Make sure they know how important it is.”
I grabbed the phone from my mother and called all my friends.
We pulled up the driveway to our house but nobody had arrived yet. “We should pack some bags and throw them in the car. I know we cant run forever but It would be a good idea to run while your still recovering” Mom said jumping out of the car.
I followed her lead. I ran up the stairs and grabbed my overnight bag and a small suitcase. I threw clothes and some other things like a camera and a notebook into the suitcase. In the bag I put one change of clothes, food, water, some pictures of me and my old teddy bear that i have had since I was born. I ran back outside and tossed all my stuff in the back seat. And waited for mom to come back. She was taking an awfully long time…
