ALEXI'S P.O.V

I run up a stair case as fast as I can, and then dart behind a door.

I squeeze my stomach in, and try my best to slow my breathing down.

My heart feels like it's gonna explode out of my chest any moment.
I haven't been this scared ever since I ran away from home. Sure, when I was running away from the boys, I was scared, but they didn't look evil like this guy.

Then suddenly footsteps come my way!

I watch in horror as a shadow falls on the wall beside me.

Holding my breath, I gaze at it coming closer and closer...

A head pops around the door.

I'm about to scream when I see it's Eleanor!

You can imagine how relieved I was. Never did I think I'd be actually happy to see Eleanor, but I was practically rejoicing right now.

Then her face twists into a sly smirk.
What is she planning?

"Hey you! Dude, over here! Were you by any chance looking for this stupid girl?" Eleanor says loudly.

What...is she doing?

My eyes once again widen as I see the guy who was chasing me come around the corner. He was puffing and panting, but still managed to grin widely. Showing off all his yellow teeth. Which actually weren't many..he had large black holes in between teeth.

"Thanks" the guy nods to Eleanor.

I shrink into the corner. There's no escape this time.

I cannot believe Eleanor could be so mean! The guy might've not even found me if she hadn't told him ! What did I ever do to her!

I feel tears stinging my eyes.
"Aw babe, don't cry..we're gonna have some fun!" The disgusting man tells me while stepping closer.

"Seriously!? I'M NOT YOUR BABE! Leave me alone!" I shout. I'm desperate for someone to hear me. Anyone...apart from Eleanor. Obviously.

"Shut up!" He demands before closing the small gap between us and slapping my cheek.

I cringe, but it's not like I've never experienced pain before. From my own dad. That's worse. Much worse.

However, that doesn't mean I wanna stay here with this creep!
I take a deep breath and open my mouth to scream.

I guess the guy guessed what I was about to do and clamps a massive hand on my mouth.

I narrow my eyes, and chomp down on his hand. Hard...

*MUNCH*

"Ow!" He shrieks and lets go of me. Then he starts to cradle his hand.
Baby...he's so weak.

I take my chance and dash past the guy.

"Hey!" He shouts.

I was free! I feel so good. But it's not over yet! I need to run away still!

I head for the stairs, and then...a foot appears out of no-where. I trip and fall flat on my face.

Then hands grip my shoulders roughly and I'm pulled to my feet.

"You really thought you'd get away that easily?" The creep asks me. I'm just gonna call him the creep. Cos that's what he is.

I grit my teeth in frustration. I glare at the creep and then notice Eleanor standing beside him.
She was grinning evilly and then I realise that she was the one who tripped me!

I swing my fist at her in anger but the creep grabs my wrist. Then he drags me into a bedroom.

Yup, dragged me.
He had to, cos I was kicking and wriggling with all my might.
He may be stronger than me but I was not going down without a fight.

Just before the creep closes the door, I take one last glance behind me.

Eleanor was watching me with a satisfied smirk plastered on her...perfect face.

That little..I'm not even gonna say what she is. I won't stoop to her level. I'm better than that.

And then...the door closed...
