Running Away With Sylvan, But Running For Our LivesA Chapter by IndigoChildThat's just it they feel danger and are running, Sylvan is keeping a secret and Rhosyn is sure he knows who is chasing themI won every time but i think sylvan just let me. It is almost dark and i am getting restless. i pace the room as sylvan sits on my bed watching, it is not helping that i have to see him on my bed. God can i be an more girly what happened to ultimate tomboy? Anyway i don’t really know what to do. I sit down on vanity stand stood and give a little huff. “ Bored, Rose?” “ Duh, it not rocket science” I face him and he is looking at me amused. “ Alright, Smartass, So we’ve covered your territory, we’ve covered mine. Either you go to school or we hit the pavement and explore the town a little. I don’t know about you but sitting here is not very .” “ Fine, get moving cause once i start exploring i don’t stop for a little while.” I hop off my bed and head straight for the door. I can feel that curious part in me wake up. It like a kitten excited and shaking. I‘m hyper aware of everything, like how the leaves rustle in the wind and Sylvans breathing behind me steady and slow. My footsteps whisper against the floor as i find my way to the door, Sylvan is elated, i can feel his excitement tingle through my hair and feet. I glide my way through the front door and out to the back of the house. There is a small patch of trees behind the house, not really enough to be anything but enough to make you feel hidden. The trees though are huge oaks. I stealthily climb my way up the closest one and wait. Sylvan is moving at a steady gait to the stand of trees. he looks around confused for a moment then feels me watching him. I must look crazy with small branches in my hair and pitch on my hands, but i feel graceful like a cat. “ Thats not fair you know this area to well, you call it exploring?” laughing I drop down from the tree. “ Well then you lead the way.” A sly smile and he’s off, i race to catch up to him and when we are neck and neck i stop. The world has slowed down and i feel something, Its not quite a disturbance as much as is an addition. The air feels thicker and it feels fuller almost. Sylvan has stopped and is the picture image of caution. I’ve had this feeling only once before, right before i killed my parents. Its danger and that danger is really close. Its behind us and knows we’re here. Its not one of us, but something different. I taste a acrid flavor in my mouth, like blood. My stomach turns in fear as i feel the air become thicker and thicker. Its almost suffocating when my brain snaps into action. I grab sylvan and run away from the danger. The taste slowly disappears and the thickness subsides. Sylvan is ghost pale and i am sure i’m not any better. We run for who knows how long but we are on the other side of the patch of trees and bursting out onto a small playground. It is now that i realize that my heart is pounding and my legs are shaky. “ Sylvan what was that?” He looks at me like i caught him robbing a bank. “ I don’t really know, rhosyn” “ what do we do now?” “ keep running i guess whatever it was it was able to find us before it can find us again” © 2013 IndigoChildAuthor's Note
