THIS IS AN ALTERNATE REALITY! Just like into the dark, but different. I hope you enjoy and please review!
The freezing cold air whipped around in front of Tohru's face. She grabbed her jacket and pulled it closer.
It was hard to see through the snow. The lampposts gave off light that just made everything look really hazy.
She wrapped her arms around herself and started to run. The wind grew a lot faster and stronger.
The snow stung Tohru's eyes. She pulled her hat over her red face. "Why didn't I ask Uo-chan drive me home?" Tohru asked herself.
Tohru was not the best runner, but Uo-chan was. When She asked to help Tohru in gym class Tohru turned her down.
A horse drawn carriage came into view. Wait a horse drawn carriage? In November?
Tohru squinted hard to catch more of it, but she couldn't. The snow was way too thick to see through.
She gasped as the horse drawn carriage came even closer. Why did I gasp? Tohru thought as she started to jog.
Tohru suddenly stopped. Her breathing sped up as the carriage came closer. It was only a couple of feet away.
Tohru couldn't move for some strange reason. She turned and saw the carriage stop next to her.
Tohru's heart pounded as she heard feet crunch in the snow.
Run! Go! Move! Tohru's senses screamed for her to get away. She jumped at the sound of the carriage door close.
Tohru tried, but she couldn't move from the ice cold position she was in.
Then the person came around. It was only a silhouette, so Tohru couldn't see their face. But from the shadows, Tohru could tell, it was undoubtedly male.
The man looked up at the lamppost and it shut off.
The strange man walked closer to her, which narrowed the chances of staying put. But Tohru still couldn't move. Tears fell down her face as she felt an icy cold hand touch her shoulder.
Tohru's adrenaline finally kicked in, and she ran off.
The man just got back into the carriage and took off after her.
Tohru's hot breath melted the snow on her jacket as she ran faster. Only a block more and she would be home. Then the carriage skid in front of her.
The door shot open and Tohru got pulled in.
Ohh, suspenseful! Aren't you just dying to read the next one?
