“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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJUFmYKd2j
    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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxOXAgqJtb
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWxGh2l4W
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHua51BWJ2
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18UyQ5trG
“It’s beautiful you know. It’s really a sight. Come on!” I stared at him with disbelief.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LA42rSIcW
“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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T4Kdgdh3P
“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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuIZmHPt48
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvaaN2Uf1
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuyzAzCHzB
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUxhjmDrRv
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPBo741bDM
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? 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwwxevFSH
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJYcw7Lg76
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdEZ4rRmC0
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhQTxsuu5H
"Who--who are you?" I asked him. He flashed a nervous smile as he got off from on top of me.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLcHiWfOfk
"Um...the name's Aiden. Your name?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasPcrYtFqL
"My...my name's Adriana. My friends call me Ade."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzgyOKukEn
"Nice to meet you Adriana. Let's get moving. We should probably take you to the boss!"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX18emAvXEv
"The boss? No! I want to see if my friend's okay!"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2hCVJfBk9
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdsdf6gKCf
"No! She could still be-"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuigsRJxEZW
"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."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzikBY4OG52
"Wait, you know I was shot?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDzGYNCHer
"Yes! Me and my friend saw you!"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkUT1lEHaz
"You mean, 'My friend and I'! Do you know where I was shot?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKV1cw8IS
"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? 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9HUnIP1k
"H-how do you--"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tkvzwv5F5
"I'll explain later! Come on!"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOSj0D8nhc
"Wait, where's you friend?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZLBSHfPt
"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...506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCJNk1HQQ
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVD0ZsaGGC
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakXkycVHcK
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyoHwJ2Czt
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgkOvo9TW7
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mNbxWfQtU
"Okay." He whispered, "We're going to go behind that building, okay? You stay quiet, and you don't leave my side. Got it?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjs2JQvcQ
I nodded my head. "Okay." I whispered back. He did a smirk that made my stomach lurch forward a bit.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LXoCffsel
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3CSTsk9vT
"Yeah." I replied my voice a bit scratchy probably from the fear that was filling inside my chest.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO0q7gQrSp
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuAHcAEqCS
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzBaDBOsa
He did a low chuckle. "See? It wasn't that bad." I looked over at him and finally asked a question.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI8s8E3zY3
"Why are you helping me?" I asked him looking into his gorgeous blue eyes.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgXZD7FSKt
"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."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG2amot8Rl
"What do you mean?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkccxNBqtW
"You're kind of a part of something now. Like a group. Or pack if you're into wolves."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOWtQAzyp4
"What group?" 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDRxvdP9f5
He did a nervous chuckle."You see, it's a funny story." 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48sO75cSof
I tilted my head. "How funny?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cqg6TyIrp
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbMy1mTLIj
I looked at him. "How do I know I can trust you?" 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunTYwnSfTt
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?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwEgU8PVIY
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."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqfVY4ipjI
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?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAJRW1mgqm
"Um. No."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2jDI45DU
"Well, now you are one. You're immortal now."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIqia7vu2P
I hesitated before daring to say another word. Immortal? "What do you mean I'm immortal? Am I like a vampire or something?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMYzbNbPH
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."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4oz4bTVv
My jaw dropped open. "What? Twenty?!"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEalyp1tEV8
"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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WonECcAB1
I loosened my grip, and mouthed an apology, "Sorry." My lips moved, but my voice wasn't heard. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP07usi2oi
He smiled and whispered very lightly, "It's okay. I'm kind of scared too."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2EEMBR2ot
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOltqFe10p9
"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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdyU8xBcW
“What’s wrong Ade? Never held hands with a boy before?” He teased me. I looked away from him.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGz2jLAfAH
“I’ll have you know I have a boyfriend!” I scream whispered anger building up inside my chest. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXRjf1l8PF
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.”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWcfXnGauP
I did a slight gasp. She’s like me? So Aiden is really telling the truth. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHizAzmdKA
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?”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswdBiQFRq6
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsU7jilkda
Lola giggled, ‘It’s about time there was another immortal girl! It was beginning to get lonely with a bunch of boys!”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6njgTuRWz
“Hey! What’s wrong with our company, Lola?” A boy from the crowd asked.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCk91LVYu
She rolled her eyes still chuckling, ‘Well you guys burp a lot. I want a girl to hang with!”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ip5m3a9dM
“That’s what she said!” Another boy whispered scream. She rolled her eyes.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr5k1ITI4M
“Thanks, Lewis for proving my point exactly!” I just stared at her. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8jbWc0qeg
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UfweREL7m
“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.”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88eiWL0a6b
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.” 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurzVlG6gxg
Aiden just smiled, “Good idea.” I was confused with his answer, but it didn’t matter. I could speak.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpTjzNZFf
“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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsj8c2LfgF
“Everybody hide!” The twenty year old man whispered. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeHhjOi3i9
Without hesitating Aiden replied, “Marshall what about--”506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKM59TQsSW
“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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Vuc3qbmd
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. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtTN7NvzpH
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8cPFcaRUB
I sat sill, and waited with him. 506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7lhGe5H7
He smirked and asked, "Does this remind you of seven minutes in Heaven?"506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi78HI7vLbN
"No. Don't you dare try." I replied my voice cautiously low.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsVcVZR1OV
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.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfYQrpkaIb
My heart leaped into my throat as I heard the echo in the tunnel we were in.506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOrCQBWxpt
A mockingly singing voice was right by my side, "I found you."506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjpntKVkQR
