“Ade! No!” My friend’s voice, Annabelle, screamed. The deafening sobs echoing through my ears as the side of my body hit the cold, hard cement floor. The unbearable pain still fresh against my light tan skin, and ruby red heart.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLGJwe32R
    Darkness took a hold of me, pulling me down into a cold dark room. Wow. I really am dead. When I looked up from the chair I was suddenly sitting in, I looked around, confused. So is there Heaven and Hell like I was taught my whole life? Or do I just sit in this chair and reflect on life? God, what am I suppose to do? Assuming there is one.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDJMiDYo6B
I had my hopes rise once I saw the light glimmer not that far ahead of me. Am I suppose to go through? I stood up from the chair that I was sitting in, and walked straight over to the light. It looked like there was shining yellow dust swarming around. Like pixie dust or something. The light was like the sun kissing the blue ocean, making a beautiful orange yellow electricity flow behind them.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrucvC6LDFb
When I finally got close enough to the light, I tried to walk in, but I couldn’t. It was as if it was a border blocking my way. I just couldn’t pass. What? I tapped the border, and surprisingly, it had a sound to it when my skin came in contact. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqsjDoBwss
I gave up a bit after, but just when I was going to make my way back to the chair, I saw a boy. Same age as me most likely. I was only sixteen, so he was not that bad looking. He had a squarish round, light tan face. His eyes were a carmel, hazel color with a bit of a shine coming from the light. He also had blondish golden hair, and thin, pink lips. I moved out of the way as he walked in front of the light, and right when I parted my pink lips to tell him he couldn’t go in, he walked in, turned to me, and smiled.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRDB40ENnQ
“It’s beautiful you know. It’s really a sight. Come on!” I stared at him with disbelief.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80By8BYTMr
“I can’t.” I replied. “It won’t let me pass. It’s like a glass door.” He gave me a mischievous smirk like a criminal getting away with a crime which made me concerned.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi4nxSpf5y
“That's too bad. I wish you luck. Trust me, you'll need it.” He slowly disappeared into the light as if he was disintegrating into the yellow pixie dust. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAawiOC2Q2F
I walked back to the chair, and once I sat down, my head jolted back up to life while my eyelids opened wide. I got up and looked behind me expecting to see my lifeless body, like I was ghost in the movies. But I wasn’t a ghost. I was alive. I was just shot! How on Earth did I survive that? Wait, I was shot. I remembered the terrifying events that happened right before I visited the dark, endless room. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlgQ77brf4
Why aren’t I dead? The bullet should’ve killed me. It went right into my heart. Why aren't I not dead?! Frustration was strong in my mind and conscience, but I pushed that away as I looked around me.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfVNmWYNYY
Everything is quiet. That's odd. Everyone was screaming just a second ago. Where’s Anne? I got up, and my veins rippled inside of me as my heart took a painful turn, as if someone shot me again. I fell back onto the ground and focused on the pain. Fuck! Oh my god it stings like a bitch! I tried to ignore the pain ripped in my insides. It felt like someone was tightening their grip around my heart and squeezing the red colored water out of it. That was just when I was completely still. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTcocb97xL
If I so much as blinked, I felt like my heart was being tossed around my rib cage as if it was an untamed animal. I finally got the courage to get up, but when I did, I fell right back down in such agony! It felt like I was dying all over again. The bullet making it’s way in between my arteries and struggling to get to the other side.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlVU080YPN
I tried to gasp for air, but bigger the oxygen hunger, stronger the pain roared inside. Stop moving! My brain screamed at me. Stop! Another part of me knew better than to listen. If I don’t move now, when will I? When will I go see if my friend is okay? 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0q4aoZMfu
I mumbled to myself, “Brain, shut your whining and let me get up!” It seemed like my brain listened, because I finally got up. It was painful as hell and it felt like someone was slowly puncturing my heart with a dirty, infected, dull butter knife. It doesn’t sound painful, but when you’re trying to move, it’s like visiting hell. Again, assuming that there one. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiAIb4OrQ
Soon, the pain felt more bearable by the minute. Painful, but bearable. I slowly got up, and took one step forward. I almost lost my balance and fell back down, but before I could fall I  took my next foot and put it in front of the first foot. It felt like I was on the moon. I had no balance and my feet were heavy on the ground.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vz4hEyLgG
"Oh my god he did it!" I heard a boy scream whisper as he ran to my side and tackle me onto the ground behind a tree pot. I didn't recognize his voice, do it didn't surprise me when I looked up and I couldn't stamp him with a name I knew belonged to him.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wg96ypkRf
"Who--who are you?" I asked him. He flashed a nervous smile as he got off from on top of me.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPMyXkr6we
"Um...the name's Aiden. Your name?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2pk8sqsT5
"My...my name's Adriana. My friends call me Ade."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCUTq37bp
"Nice to meet you Adriana. Let's get moving. We should probably take you to the boss!"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiTyyoCxU9
"The boss? No! I want to see if my friend's okay!"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkxyoOKMwM
"She'll be fine I'm sure of it! Now come on! Everyone's inside a building. Let's go!" I looked around the mall we were at and I shook my head.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFo7sgh14g
"No! She could still be-"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnI1YJt1If
"Please lower your voice!" He screamed whispered again, "The shooter is still out here. We need to stay quiet unless you want to get shot again."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpY5jLux8
"Wait, you know I was shot?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmegV6vDHh
"Yes! Me and my friend saw you!"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfirdyeJM
"You mean, 'My friend and I'! Do you know where I was shot?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W74IhqfSx
"In the heart! Look I know! You were in a dark room right and you saw a light, but couldn't go through, right? Yes! I know! Now come on before he catches us!" I was speechless. He knows? How? 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ZQkjFGvt
"H-how do you--"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKv4h0uIag
"I'll explain later! Come on!"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPNTachsg
"Wait, where's you friend?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23iRbad8LI
"There!" He pointed to a lifeless body and I nearly screamed in fear, but he put the palm of his hand over my mouth. That's odd. He has no bullet holes...454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKasI7kL7
"It's okay! Let's just please go!" Just before I got the chance to argue I heard a voice of a man. It sounded like he was singing.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydOsyMH9JP
"Hehe...coming, I'm coming, for who? For you. Your dress so fine, you're like acid lime. For this a sin I kill you for, because I know you want more!" He did a manic laugh.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q8zAj4c0V
I was just going to whimper in fear, but Aiden put his index finger to his pinkish pale lips. I started at him for comfort as he looked straight ahead, searching for the crazy man.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uPN05FgmV
I studied his face; his light brown, almost honey-colored hair was swayed to the left. No gel either, because it seemed too soft and natural for that. He had aqua colored eyes mixed with a dash of royal blue, which made the perfect color to be the first thing a person would notice about him. His lips looked pink and regular sized, almost irresistible to not kiss. His skin however, was so perfect and tan. Flawless, and probably smooth.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRzQqa2o0
I looked down to see his style, which says a lot about a person. He wore dark blue, jeans, with a white, plain shirt. He also wore high top, black converse.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla12uiQoF1
"Okay." He whispered, "We're going to go behind that building, okay? You stay quiet, and you don't leave my side. Got it?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLht3g397n
I nodded my head. "Okay." I whispered back. He did a smirk that made my stomach lurch forward a bit.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu5u0DvlpP
"Great." He reached for my hand, and when he grasped it, I felt frightened. Why am I trusting this guy? If anything, he could be helping the psychopath waving the gun around! He looked at me and grinned. "Ade, right?" He asked me, forcing the grin to stay in place.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqV8Cfka9
"Yeah." I replied my voice a bit scratchy probably from the fear that was filling inside my chest.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ofZ7o4WEP
"Okay Ade, I promise you that you will get out here alive. Do you understand?" Aiden looked at me with his voice trembling a little. I nodded my head slowly because when I tried to speak, I choked on fear, and man did that fear grow a huge lump in my throat.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegkbcIMYtq
He took in a deep breath as he took one last peek before pulling me over behind a shoe store. It only took three or four big strides before finally sitting back down. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rqPsegC71
He did a low chuckle. "See? It wasn't that bad." I looked over at him and finally asked a question.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbImLa0MqX6
"Why are you helping me?" I asked him looking into his gorgeous blue eyes.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6474k1Mj
"Huh? Why wouldn't I? You're like a little baby now. I feel like I'm your parent, I have to teach you what you need to know."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqFZxSIs2M
"What do you mean?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY6LGsAKMc
"You're kind of a part of something now. Like a group. Or pack if you're into wolves."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MYXRzIVOU
"What group?" 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC8yGje2ap
He did a nervous chuckle."You see, it's a funny story." 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42WNTKtX2H
I tilted my head. "How funny?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnpKedHUnv
Aiden smiled at me. "How about I just show you. Come with me. My group and I are in that building." He pointed over to the Kid's Arcade place, which was all the way down from where we were. No bushes. No trees. Only shops on our left and right, and our designation straight ahead.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lvazB9ppC
I looked at him. "How do I know I can trust you?" 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezxZpy7J7p
He rolled his eyes at me like if I was getting annoying. "Because I know what you are. You kind of proved a myth to be true. Um, did you happen to see a guy in there? Pretty tall, blonde hair, hazel like eyes?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J5WuxzwaL
My eyes widened as I managed to answer, my voice still a bit unsteady, "Yeah. He walked into the light, and--and he wished me luck before he went in."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Lfyfaq2a
Aiden rolled his eyes again as he mumbled, "Asshole." He looked back to me and forced a smile. "Hey, no worries. You see, um, what I meant by the myth is that, it's never proved to be true. Do you believe in fantasy characters?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJwNx2R8Kr
"Um. No."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJUf4QYNa
"Well, now you are one. You're immortal now."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTlHoaLOXo
I hesitated before daring to say another word. Immortal? "What do you mean I'm immortal? Am I like a vampire or something?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhscVfWgREk
He bit back a laugh I know it because he threw his hand over his mouth. "Um. No. You're just immortal. Government's aware there are creatures like vampires however, but they don't care unless they do something they don't like. Us, however, we're are pretty rare. We have a group of I'd say," he counted in his head as he let his fingers touch his thumb one at a time. "I'd say fifteen to twenty in our group. That's just us. We still haven't visited the UK to check if there's any."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpAropD9lp
My jaw dropped open. "What? Twenty?!"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIHlF79tFp
"Hey. I warned you we're rare." He took my hand again, and walked my quietly over to The Kids Arcade. I didn't know it, but I was squeezing his hand. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy2TvepLHH
I loosened my grip, and mouthed an apology, "Sorry." My lips moved, but my voice wasn't heard. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D6qLDmI3Z
He smiled and whispered very lightly, "It's okay. I'm kind of scared too."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C3qsEdAC5
No. I thought. You're not kind of scared. You are scared. There's no inbetween when it comes to fright. It's either you're fine, or you're scared. We both kept on walking toward the building, then I heard a third pair of steps. There's only Aiden and I. Oh god I think the criminal found us! Aiden kept walking, but I turned around. I saw a girl. She showed a small smile for me, and looked around behind us. Before I could tell Aiden, he whispered in my ear.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0eB2wOzE
"It's okay. That's Lola. She's helping us out." He squeezed my hand to assure me, and I squeezed back. Now that I think about it, why am I even holding hands with him? I pulled my hand away and my cheeks turned a bright red color. Aiden looked at me and laughed.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsLxwkDpFO
“What’s wrong Ade? Never held hands with a boy before?” He teased me. I looked away from him.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uvF819Y9Z
“I’ll have you know I have a boyfriend!” I scream whispered anger building up inside my chest. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi1Ol9wRcr
The girl behind us finally spoke but in a low whisper, “Um. I don’t mean to interrupt, but there’s a murder that’s wandering around, and I really don’t feel like getting shot. I think that’s the most painful death I heard, especially when you’re reviving again.”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr5vcBGCBI
I did a slight gasp. She’s like me? So Aiden is really telling the truth. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4d4l8UlCH
Aiden took my arm instead of my hand, and pulled me away into the structure. After we entered, I saw some new faces. A man, I’d say probably twenty, walked up to Aiden and spoke in a lowered hush, “Aiden, where the hell is Nick?”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyAcvI9xFH
Aiden looked nervously and he tightened his grip around my arm. “He died. Passed over. That myth is true, and Adriana happened to be the victim.” Suddenly I felt several pair of eyes on me. My bright blue eyes made contact with almost every each one. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5vSmWMZr7
Lola giggled, ‘It’s about time there was another immortal girl! It was beginning to get lonely with a bunch of boys!”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjIu8CYEjZ
“Hey! What’s wrong with our company, Lola?” A boy from the crowd asked.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafmLy6eXoB
She rolled her eyes still chuckling, ‘Well you guys burp a lot. I want a girl to hang with!”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2AegJXFU1
“That’s what she said!” Another boy whispered scream. She rolled her eyes.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PimuUeUfl
“Thanks, Lewis for proving my point exactly!” I just stared at her. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEuEnGmr40
Aiden scoffed. “I don’t think Ade is that kind of girl.” I looked over at him. Yeah. I just came here for food. Not shopping. She put a hand on my shoulder.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoowPwGEmHb
“Why do you think that Aiden? Have you taken the time to know her? Last time I checked, you just met her a few minutes ago.”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD4cFT98tg
I held up a finger as if I was asking permission to speak. “Actually, I speak. So I’d appreciate it if you didn't talk around me as if I wasnt here.” 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90tOtZjGB
Aiden just smiled, “Good idea.” I was confused with his answer, but it didn’t matter. I could speak.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQohzmczY
“I don’t like shopping. I came to the mall to stuff my face with food.” Aiden smiled at Lola showing off his win. Lola let her shoulders drop in defeat. We heard footsteps outside and Aiden automatically tensed up.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8EhilZ0YN
“Everybody hide!” The twenty year old man whispered. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLTHxH5fRg
Without hesitating Aiden replied, “Marshall what about--”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHcex9jPVy
“Shut up Aiden and listen!” Aiden gave him a glare and pulled me into one of the obstacles on the indoor playground. He dragged me around like a doll, and I suddenly wanted nothing more, but to slap him. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0CBufmKjc
He turned to me and his eyes widened then went back to it’s normal size. “Um, great weather we’re having?” Aiden said, but it sounded more like a question like he was asking for approval in his attempt to make a conversation. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVryMPZ3wD
I rolled my eyes, “Other than the dust of gunpowder floating around, I guess pretty nice.” He stopped moving once were were in a part of the tunnel where it had no windows. He sat still and put a finger up to his lips.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyPBRmLoa6
I sat sill, and waited with him. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0pYYVHOQS
He smirked and asked, "Does this remind you of seven minutes in Heaven?"454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOrWMYg0og
"No. Don't you dare try." I replied my voice cautiously low.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCau0Bn8j4p
He shrugged his shoulders as he looked away and said, "Can't blame a guy for trying." I choked back a giggle. Was he trying to flirt with me? He probably did that to Lola when she was new too.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLjPomc1sJ
My heart leaped into my throat as I heard the echo in the tunnel we were in.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMf55hQkDs
A mockingly singing voice was right by my side, "I found you."454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNr2v6YdLf
