hey guys, this is the second chapter, the first one didnt have a title remeber??? i hope u do lol.....



The darkness, it is something i have allways been afraid of, somthing that would always catch me in the end. But sometimes the darkness, is safer than the real world.

I was coming to, but i stayed still, and hoped it was all a dream, i prayed for some sort of dream, a nightmare. Anything. I breathed in the air, i whimpered. No pancakes. just grease, and dust. i opened my eyes, and quickly glanced around the cafe, i notticed some of the tables and chairs were upturned, and i could hear harsh whispers, coming from behind the counter.i pushed my self from the ground as silently as i could, i usesd one of the upturned chairs to steady myself. my head was spinning, my legs shaking but i pushed myself forward, forcing my legs to escape to the door. i hobbled, and shuffled, and glanced at the counter frequently, i still couldnt see any one, but i could hear them. i touched the door handle, and was bombarded with my last memory.The boy. i turned on my heels, and glanced over the room again.Nothing. I shook my head, thinking i had just imagined him.I turned the door handle, but it was locked, and for the first time i moaned,loud, the noise from behind the counter stoped, and so did i. I didnt know what to do, but my legs did. I jogged and crouched behind one of the turned tables, and closed by eyes, my breathing slowed. Im not even sure i took another breath, i was to woried, too everything.i didnt dare peek around the corner, i just waited for the *knell. i could hear the shuffling of feet, and the panting of my hunter.my legs were aching from the way that i sat, my ribs sore from the pressure Dorris had applied to them, my whole body was screaming in pain. i had to move. i slighlty slid my leg forward, an inch or so, but they heard, and whoever was coming ran towards my table, and pushed it fully over. I flinched and covered my head.
"Please!" i begged the stranger. "I dont know what is going on, please," I pleaded, i spoke the truth, i had no idea what i was getting into.I opened my eyes and looked into my persuaderes face. I half smiled, and let my arms drop from my head. It was the boy. I looked up at him, he was a bit taller than what i was, i think. His eyey's were so dark they could have passed for black.
"i wont hurt you," He whispered, holding out his hand, an offer. i stared at the hand, did i really want to? yes. i forced my unwilling hand to move forward, and clasp his hand, he pulled me onto my feet. When he dropped my hand, my legs began to wobble again, i fell back, but he grabbed a chair and slid it under me just in time.
"Thanks," I mumbled, figeting with my hands, i didnt look up at him to see his nodd. He slouched off behind the counter again, and this time came backhuffing and dragging somthing large across the ground with him, my breathe got caught, and i couldnt breath.Dorris. it hadnt hit me yet what she had done to me, my hand touched my ribs, and i winced at the pain.
"Tell her everything!" the boy growled, my head snapped up to look at his face, it was full of anger, but there was somthing else. Sadness? My attention was dragged back towards Dorris, who was laughing evily.
"Do you think that will help?" She snarled, the loook on her face, made all the anger i had been storing come up to the surface, i jumped off the chair and fell on my knees at her head. i couldnt controll what i was doing, the anger did.
"Tell me!" i screamed into her face, my whole body shaking with rage.Dorris wasnt shocked by my outburst, infact she acted as if it never happened.
"Why dont you tell her Jaden, i dont have enough time befor they come for her," i looked at the boy "Jaden", my face confused, and my temper draining, his face fell to the ground, in shame. Dorris was laughing, but i ignored her. instead i looked for my rucksack, if what she said was true, i needed to leave now, i looked about the floor, trying not to return the stare coming from jaden. When i did find my rucksack i threw it over my shoulder and ran for the door, and remebered it was locked.
"The keys?"i asked looking at Jaden, he nodded towards the counter, i jogged towards them. once i had them, i turned back for the door and noticed two big black cars with blacked out windows pulling up outside the cafe.
