Cassandra Cummings, is a wonderful actress and who started her career in college. She has certainly had her share of odd movies and plays, but the next play will determine her fate. Kyle Smith, her handsome co- star, starts to live up to his role in real life and chase after Cassandra.
I pushed myself faster down the winding narrow alleys. I was drenched from the bullets of rain that poured down mercilessly on to the pavement. My legs were screaming in protest, pleading me to stop. I pushed back the thought entirely as I felt myself start to slow. I only stopped for a second to see if he was following me still. There he was, smiling at me; hands in his pockets. He walked, I ran. Adrenaline pumped in to my system once again as I pictured him, catching me. I pictured him tightening his strong smooth hands around my neck. I gasped and ran faster. He started to jog; something was gripped tightly in his left hand that glinted ever so slightly off the weak moonlight.
I tried to push myself past my limit and failed quickly. Gasping for air, with sharp aches in my ribs, stabbing from every angle. I couldn’t go on, but I had to. I had to fight this, but I couldn’t. I started to run faster and then, without any warning, my legs gave out on me. I had failed. I collapsed on the cold, wet ground. He was there. I heard him chuckle slightly, and I could here the mocking smile in his voice. He bent down over top of me and flipped me over on to my back. I was crying, but he wouldn’t know; even if he did he wouldn’t care. He was still smiling. His short blond hair was now a dark brown from the rain. I wanted to scream, but I was too weak. My body felt limp and I was defenseless. He sighed and placed his strong arms underneath my back and limbs. He was still holding the shiny object. I prayed silently as he carried me out of the alley.
"Sleep Cassie." he soothed, "This will all be over very soon."
