2012

Adrenaline rushing through me. My breath caught in my throat as I try to breath as quietly as possible. SHIK! An arrow shot past my head to the right narrowly missing by a few centimeters. My heart stopped and restarted.

I want to cry.

I want to lie down.

I want to stop running.

I can't. I'm running to my death. until the day I die, I have to keep running.

A brief memory of the past came to mind. The days where I sat on the comfy couch and complained I was bored. That life was boring and there was no excitement nor passion. I was at the top of my classes. That made me conceited.

How was I supposed to know that the government was faulty. Banking system collapsed and everybody was in chaos. Oil, resources ran out at the same time. Complete chaos. No weapon. no money.  
Then came the hunters. People emerging with bow and arrows and began shooting people down.

World War Three. The whole country is in chaos and we're getting attacked.  All those times where I watched the news covering war in other countries, deaths. Rebellions. Starvation. That was another world. My world was me getting fed, leftover food spoils and then gets thrown away. I was so spoiled I had barely any muscles that contributed to my strength.
Then I knew, that I was average. I was somewhere in the middle. I wasn't at the back of the chain. That was when I abandoned all electronics and awakened my instincts.

My ass. I have the survival instinct of a fly.

I relied on people to survive. All my life. Until they were hunted too. Now it's my turn.


I panted as I kept running, my legs about to give out. I could hear another two arrows being shot, right when one missed and hit the tree to my left, another strong thump within my chest. My sigh of relief barely began when one got my on my left leg. A surge of pain shot up my legs and it finally gave out below me. I collapsed on the forest floor, covered in tree roots and fallen crunchy leaves. I gasped and my eyes watered.


Mom...

No. There's only me now.

I grabbed one of the many throwing knives on my belt that was only for show.
It's about time that the decoration show it's worth.

It's me against the world.

Bam. For every one of them. Bam. Bam Bam. Blood splatters upon the marble floor and against the kitchen counters. Grotesque bodies lying here and there. Bam. that's for my mom and brother. Bam. That's for hurting us...

I opened my eyes and stared up at the white ceiling. Letting out a breath, I pushed up on my elbow and sat up. With a groan I scratched my head and reluctantly got off the bed to grab a polo and short shorts to get dressed in. I have to go to the doctor today.  I clumsily made my way to the kitchen, got myself a bowl and poured some cereal and milk into it. The spoon clattered against the bowl as I ate in silence. Leaning my face on my left hand, I shut my eye for a while, eating my cereal in the darkness and spilling milk now and then.  Images lurked on my eye lids and my eyes shot open. I gasped and poured the leftover milk down the sink. I grabbed my jacket and a twenty dollar bill and shoved in my jean's pockets.
There was a large yawn coming from on of the rooms behind me, I paused, and then left the house.

"We~~ --- ... ~~ at XXXX Station." Getting up from my slouch, I stepped off the bus. I walked up to the clinic's doors and talked to the secretary. I spoke my name and she told me to sit on one of those plastic chairs. I made myself comfortable and a child's toy set caught my eyes. At first I just stared, but then I decided no one here knows me anyways. Leaning over, I started pushing around the beads on the plastic coated wire. In the midst of zoning out, the door to the doctor's room opened and the doctor called out for me.

Inside the room, throughout the examination, the doctor kept a conversation going between us.


- Author's POV-

Well let's keep it brief. So they have a conversation. The doctor gets charmed by her bubbly personality and falls in love with her
So he follows her home after. ' .. Stalker. '

-Doctor's POV-

I followed her by blending in with the surroundings. Making it look like I have a place to go. I moved around dodging people nearby trying not to walk into anybody and catching anybody's attention. Of course, I kept my eyes off of her. I kept her in my peripheral vision as I subtly trail her. When the crowded road slowly change to a narrower and less people frequented it, I began falling behind. She never looked back even once. It was like she had no worries. But of course, a girl like her must have a lot of friends at school, so what problems could she have? She turned the corner and I turned onto the quiet street as well. I took a step back into the alleyway and counted a few seconds. I walked  back out just in time to see her run in a house, not bothering to close the door. The last thing I saw was her wide eyes. That was when I realized that there was a lot of noise coming from the house.

I ran up the stairs and saw black people destroying the furniture. I concealed myself behind the door and watched the scene unfold. One men was holding a middle-aged women by her hair and her face twisted in pain. A child was behind the girl that I was following and she had one arm protectively held out to her right, holding the child back. I couldn't see her face from here, but I could guess that she must be incredibly scared. I mean, I'm an adult and I am too.

" Mommahh! Waaah! "

" Don't cry. It's okay, sis got this," the girl said softly and tenderly to her baby brother.

" STOP IT!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

The men in black paused and turned their head her way. One even let out a laugh before he was silenced.

" Girlie, if you can't pay up. This is what happens. blame your incompetent father. We're the nice ones here. We gave you a year to pay up. It's really not our fault that you guys couldn't pay up. We're the victims for losing quite an amount of money here."

She stiffened. I held my breath, I feel something bad is about to happen.

" GRA-" She stopped halfway and lunged at the nearest man dress in black.

He lost his balance in surprise for a second and tossed her into the counter. Her head made a big sickening sound when it hit the counter.
Another man grabbed the little boy. I was sweating heavily as this scene occurred before my very eyes.

" I'm just a doctor.. I can't fight. This is not within my capabilities.. " I murmured to myself. I winced when I saw the blood trailing down the girl's forehead.

The man holding the child smirked and called out to another man to grab her and wake up her.

-Girl's POV-

My head is pulsing. It hurts. I let out a shriek and my eyes shot opened when my head was yanked back and I was lifted up by the hair.  I was put on my feet and my hands were held together behind my back when I saw my poor baby brother in the hands of the debt collectors. No. Murderers.

" Hey there girlie, hows your day? Want to pay up now?"

I gritted my teeth and managed to say, " We don't have money. That's why we're in this situat--"

" Well then, I'm sorry but you made me do this."

He jerked my brother's head on way and there was a loud crack. It was even louder to my ears. It rang out to me --'kill him'
even louder. At the same time. Something within me snapped. ' come ooon. It's so easy. I picked you. ' My breathing came in and out so fast that I was nearly hyperventilating. I didn't realize that that was exactly what's happening. ' the gun in on the guy's belt, dislocate your wirst and grab it.'  My inner voice is disappearing. I can't hear myse-

' DO IT! '

I stomped on his foot, dislocated a bone, got my wrist out and grabbed the gun in 0.45 seconds and pulled the trigger on 5 men in front of me.  Before the even registered what just happened, I turned around and shot the man behind me as well and grabbed his bullets. I've seen this in movies. I refilled the gun with new ammunition and shot the hands of the rest of the men. Both hands.

" Argh! "

" Ah! "

Groans and screams. Something is rising within me.

This is me.

This is what I am.

Who am I?

What is this?

' I am you. This is me.'

I felt a grin spread on my face.

Slowly. One by one. Even the woman held by the hair. I shot them. In the legs, limbs, organs. Then, finally the finishing shot.I walked around and observed my work. Messy, but this is my first time after all.

' Or was it? Was it really?'

I walked over to the only limb body that doesn't have blood.  It was small.

Something gnawed at the inside of my stomach. I reached down brushed my fingers over the eyelid to close them. Then I straightened myself up and it's about time for me to leave this place forever. I grabbed all weapons and ammunition and anything of use and turned to the door.

Then I saw it.

A man. Eyes wide open staring at me. Wearing a white coat.

'Oh no he didn't ~' sang the voice.

I lifted the gun lazily and pointed it to his heart.
