Chapter One: Searching for Answers

This is just a part of chapter one it not done yet!

   My heavy eyelids slowly opened and my head throbbed. I went to hold my head and when I brought my hand down it was covered in blood. I squeezed my eyes shut and groaned in pain. I opened them again and relized I wasn't at home. I couldn't really tell where I was because my vision was so blurry. I ran my fingers down the fabric of what I think is couch and it felt like leather. This is definetly not my house. I looked around to see how i could get out of here and I tried to remember how I got here. All I remeber is answering the door to a sexy, male teenager. I dragged myself off the couch, craddled my head and searched for a door.

   I stopped short. Someone was breathing on my neck that had beads of sweat rolling down it. I need to get out of here. I thought.

  "Wheres the f*****g door..." I mummbled to myself searching for the nearest exit. They laid their hand on my sholder. I froze. I started to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

  "Emily, why are you trying to get away?" A deep, smooth voice asked me.

   My throught was dry. I couldn't say a word. How did they know my name? I thought totally freaked out.

   "I know everything about you." They responded as if they read my mind.

   I looked around trying to make my best guess of where the door was, but i know if I move a muscle he will probably hurt me.

   "I wont hurt you." The deep voice reasured me.

   "What...do you want...with me?" I stammered.

   "I want to protect you." The person spun me around so I would face them. It was a guy, the same one that knocked on my front door. He had shaggy brown hair that just swoops over his soft baby blue eyes. And he had natural red lips that any girl would kill for. I looked down at his muscular arm and all the way down to his hand where it grips my sholder.

  "What are you?" I whispered so soft i could barely hear myself.

  "I'm a runner." He informed me. "I rescued you from the outside world. Something very horrible was going to happen to you. I'm going to keep you here until the threat has gone away."

  "How long will i stay here?" I ask thinking about how my dad must feel since first his wife disappers, and then his only daughter.

  "About a year our two."

  "What!? Are you out of your f*****g mind? My dad is so depressed and he might not talk to me that much but he still needs my help! How do you think he feels right losing his wife and then his only daughter? He has nobody eles!"I screamed at him punching, slapping and kicking this jerk, but it dosent even faze him.

  "I know, I'm sorry, but your dad is going to have to wait."

  "What if you bring him here? Yeah, and,and you can give him a runner or he can stay with us. And-"

  "Only women are allowed to be saved by runners. I'm sorry i would if i could, but i cant." He lets go of my sholder and walks away to what i think is a window. "I know how you feel. Being torn away from your family. I was once was too."

  "How? I thought only women were allowed to be rescued by runners." I ask challengiing him.

  "I was taken away from my family, but not to be rescued but to rescue people. The Lord thought i could be usefull to there society, so the catchers took me away from my family when i was two months old and brain washed them so they wouldn't remember thay had a son."

  "Oh, I had no idea. I'm sorry." I was ashamed of yelling at him now. He hasnt even met his family before.

  "It dosent matter." he turns away from the window. "Any more questions?"

  "A few more actually. What is a runner? What was going to happen to me if you didn't rescue me, and what does this house really look like?"
