Guns With Roses: Black Dragon

I was running ahead, trying to escape my pursuer. I'm back again on the dangerous neigborhood. Only instead of being a helpless bystander, I am soon to be a victim of another crime. My sin? I don't even know. I didn't owe them any money, but perhaps I was now an enemy?

The thing is why was I running away? I definitely knew how to defend myself. But thw urge to escape was just too strong.

My lungs burned as I fought against my body, pushing myself forward with the adrenaline rushing through me. My legs screaming at the speed I was going.

"You can run but you can never hide!" He shouted at me.

I heard the sound of the first gunshot. I forced myself not to look back but my foot got caught on the dirty pavement. My body followed and collapsed, slamming me to the cold, wet ground. Soon enough my blood will be part of the drainage system.

I looked up as I heard the steps rushing towards me. Finally seeing my pursuer, it was the same dangerous guy the other day. He saw me! He knows who I am!

He pointed the barrel of his silver gun towards me.

"Please! I beg you! I didn't see anything. Please!" I pleaded for my life, trying to find even an ounce of humanity in him. But his eyes stayed the same, cold and unmoved by my desperate words.

"Bye bye curious kitten." He coldly said. And shot the bullet straight to my head.

I shot up in bed as I woke up from the nightmare I was in. Panting so hard, I was drenched in sweat.

I looked around to reorient myself, my room was still covered in darkness. The dream felt so real that I actually felt the pain as the bullet entered my head.

I went straight to the bathroom, vomiting my dinner in the toilet bowl. I've never felt such terror before. I really thought that he got me. My only wish is to never come across him again. He was a walking nightmare that I never want to meet.

If I was terrified of him in my dreams, how much more will it be if I actually meet him in person.

I stripped down and took a cold shower, further awakening myself. By the time I was finish it was only 5am.

My class today was at 10, so I still had time to waste. I could never fall back to sleep after such a dream so I opted to finish my term paper. By the time I was done I also tried to write an academic paper for my part time job. I was earning enough as a freelance writer. It was a great platform for me to develop my writing skills.

I was engulfed in Jiaqi's hug the moment I arrived inside the class auditorium.

"Yue!! Are you okay?" She said to me, voice filled with worry.

I called her the other night, telling her about what I saw while going home. We weren't able to meet up since we had no classes yesterday.

"I'm good Jiaq." I reasured her.

"That's why I told you to go back in the house. You're always welcome, but you wanted to go back to your apartment. That place is getting more dangerous, crime rates are getting higher and higher. I don't want my sister to be a part of the statistics!" She nagged at me.

She was like a real sister to me by now, she was there for me in my rocky moments and I was also there for hers. We always had each other's backs for better or for worse.

"Relax. I'm fine Jiaq. It's not like I encounter such things everyday. It just so happens that I was about to pass through the same time a murder was made. It was purely coincidence and people are already used to it by now, no matter how morbid that sounds." I said to her.
