13Ok this has been bugging me for a while now so I thought that I would just let it flow. I have not given up on my other story, so don't worry if you are waiting for the next update I will try and write soon, but I've got lots of exams at the moment – Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS, I wish I did but the paperwork does not agree with me.
The open sky cries down upon me, soaking me to the bone. I ignore it. My legs burn in pain, but I keep on running, I can't go back. They can't make me, but yet they still try…
I don't know where I am, but it's dark and cold, I'm scared that they will find me. I've spent so much of my life running from them and I know that I can never stop. Danger is around every corner, and the corners are everywhere taunting me. I ignore my fear; I keep on running, faster and faster, taking the streets at random. I have one mission; to stay alive.
I run into another side street trying to stay hidden. I trip and fall on what I presume is bin bags, but then I hear a small cry of pain and I know that I am not alone, this scars me but I hide it;
"Who's there?" I call out into the darkness
"Might have to ask you the same question." The voice responds
"Show yourself."
"Yeah, yeah, just move your foot."
"Why?" I ask cautiously
"You're standing on my jacket."
"Oh sorry." I reply and quickly move.
"Thanks Newbie."
"Newbie?"
"You're obviously new at this." He explains
"Why would you think that?"
"You apologised."
"And?"
"It's rare for people who are running."
"Perhaps I have manners." I respond with a slight grin.
"I doubt that." The voice replies as he finally stands up and puts on his jacket. He is reasonably tall and he seems to be about fourteen- the same age as me. His brown hair which in my opinion is out of control, falls across his eyes hiding them from me. When he quickly moves it out the way I discover that his eyes are green and sparkling slightly as if out of amusement.
"Who are you?" I ask more boldly than I feel.
"Does it matter?" he asks with a smirk
"To me it does."
"My name is Anthony." He replies with a broader grin "But I tend to go by Tony. What's your name?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm listening." He replies with a smirk, he is a strange and I know that I should not trust him, but there is something inside of me telling me otherwise.
"Alexis." I reply matching his grin "But I tend not to tell anyone."
"Very well Alexis, what are you doing here?"
"Running." I reply bluntly
"Yeah, I can see that." He grins and I feel a strange sensation in my chest. "Do you make a habit of running?"
"If I need to."
"Why?"
"Is this twenty questions or something?" I ask in a slightly agitated voice.
"If you want." He shrugs.
"We'll your hardly participating." I point out.
"Yeah, but my life's no fun."
"What makes you think my life's any better?" I ask looking into his eyes, once the contact is made he starts reading them as if they were the pages of a book, and strangely I don't care there is a part of me which wants him to understand the secrets I am forced to keep.
"It's not at the moment, but it was, and it will be again." Tony replies after a couple of seconds.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I'm gonna make it happen." He grins "Come on!" he beckons as he starts to leave the alleyway.
"Where are we going?"
"I know a little place." He says not giving anything away. I sigh in response but quickly walk over to join him.
I know it's short but it's a taster and I don't have much time.
Tell me what you think and if I should continue =)
