"JADE!" Bang bang. I jumped at the sound of the gun and continued to run. Night had fallen and I couldn't see where I was going. My heart was beating fast and my head was pounding. The long grass under my feet slowed me down. When I turned around I saw that I was alone. I stopped running and collapsed onto the ground. My chest was tight and my legs felt dead. Bang. I jolted upright and attempted to get up and run. My energy was gone and I knew I wasn't going to get far. I spotted a familiar house and used up the last of my energy to get there. When I got to the door I hurriedly rang the bell, looking over my shoulder for a sign of-

"Jade, you're going to be okay" I passed by Tori and shut the door. My legs turned to jelly and I fell to the floor.

When I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was-
"Beck?" My voice was croaky and barely audible. He smiled and stroked my hair as I closed my eyes and sighed. All I could remember was running, Vega's house and then I fell to the ground.

"Where am I?...Beck?" I opened my eyes. Beck was standing in the corner of the dark room. Bang. He fell to the ground. I screamed as I felt my heart break. I got out of bed and ran. I was now outside, in the forest behind the hospital, the leaves rustling under my bare feet. Branches hit my face and thorns scratched at my legs and arms. I could feel the hot blood running down my legs. Tears were running down my cheeks, I gasped for air. I could hear water flowing. When I followed it I found a river. I kneeled down beside the water and cupped the cold water in my hands, drinking from it. The water had a metallic taste. I waded into the river and sighed in relief as the pain from the scars was momentarily washed away. I closed my eyes in relief, gasping and coughing. I cupped my hands full of the liquid again but as I opened my eyes I saw scarlet blood in my hands. I gasped and backed away as the realization settled in; the water was blood.

I screamed and tried to run out of the water but I was sinking, like quicksand. I was dragged under the bloody stained water until I was completely was the point where I knew I was going to die, I had no oxygen. I closed my eyes and let the pressure of the water push me further down.

"Don't give up yet."

I gasped for air and sat up, coughing. I could feel the harsh ground under my back. Someone must of dragged me out of the water and laid me on the forest floor. I could still see the demonic river but it's water was now the same blue as the sky. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of red in the water. Red velvet cupcake coloured. Bang. The river turned back to it's scarlet bloody colour. I knew what that meant, I hugged my knees to my chest and cried. I just wanted to be home, no more running and no more people dieing because of me.
