The Runaway(s)

[Bloodcore]

*Yes, I'm alive. I've been busy, what with school and a nervous breakdown. Here's a new story, hope you enjoy! PS. I'll be adding music to each chapter to make the events stand out a little more. Listen to this whilst you read this chapter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhTTHzlMGUA *


"I hope you rot in the streets you little whore!" A shrill and drunken voice tore through the dark Vancouver night. A clang of a fence door soon followed the outburst. A girl with glasses and short, spiked, brown and dyed red-streaked hair trudged away from a torn-up house. (Not kidding, that's what I look like now. )

Armed only with an Ipod and a flashlight, the girl ran through the grimy wretched streets with tears running down her pale and bruised face. Running low on tears and energy, she slowed down and slumped down against a wall in a scummy alleyway. This girl was called Anna.

"Aw, man...Why does God hate me so much?" Tilting her head back, Anna stared at the starry sky with intense loneliness in her dark eyes. "Damn this city and every person in it." She spat. "God didn't even cure Mum's drinking...and now look where I am...I'm not even a whore..." Anna spoke softly. A droplet fell from the sky and landed on her head. Soon a thunderstorm ripped through Vancouver and Anna was running again.

Thinking about how cliched this was, she suddenly inwardly slammed on the brakes as a wide and tall warehouse blurred through her vision. Her dark eyes flashed as Anna laid them on this building. She'd heard stories about it. Many versions said that it was haunted or filled to the brim with corpses. Anna had always been interested in the occult so maybe she could see if the rumours were true or not.

Sprinting towards the rusty door, she noticed that it was laden with chains and several locks. Smirking, she removed her glasses and used the end of one of the arms to unlock them. They thudded to the ground as Anna donned the glasses again. Her muscles tensed as she shoved the door with all her might. Eventually, the door gave with an ear grating scrape and gave. Anna peered inside and gained enough courage to enter fully, closing the door behind her. Oddly enough, there were windows. Not many and they were very small. Even when she turned on her flashlight, she couldn't really see anything. Turning a 180, Anna walked backwards carefully.

Her heart pumping furiously, she was expecting anything to pop out at her at this point. However, nothing did. She did stop walking backwards, seeing as she hit something. Anna turned around slowly, eyes wide, bringing the flashlight in the same direction. Blue and black hair, pale eyes and a giant smile. All on a gigantic face.

"HI!" A god-like but happy voice boomed. Anna fainted.

"Oh crap, hey kid..." The giant nudged Anna's body. His blue bangs hung in front of his blue eyes. His tongue ran over his lips in nervousness, wetting them. Anna twitched and the giant's eyes lit up. "Come on, come back sweetie." He cooed.

Anna's eyes snapped open and focused on the giant man hovering over her. She screamed like a little girl and scrambled back. She glanced around the area and noticed that they weren't in the warehouse anymore. They were in Stanley Park.

"Wh...Where...Who..?" Anna sputtered. The giant grinned and pointed to himself. "Me? I'm Josh! Who are you?" Josh leaned in closer. Anna was still shellshocked over the existence of giants, but she still was coherent.

"Anna...How'd we......Get...here?" She inquired. Josh leaned back and looked around at the trees and grass, still wet from the storm. "At the end of the warehouse, there's a ginormous hole." He motions with his hands. "I go in there to see if anyone was curious enough to come in..." There was a hint of sadness in his voice."This is where it leads to. I thought it would be lovely. You were out of it but oh well." He shrugged.

Anna nodded. Even though Josh was sitting indian style, he still towered over her. "How...Tall are you...?"

"About 105 ft. Still growing though." Josh answered. Anna gaped. "Damn man...Were you always like this?" She asked. For the first time, Josh looked uncomfortable. "Yeah...I never had friends sooooo...." He looked right into Anna's eyes. "I hope we can be friends, you're the only person how doesn't find me scary."

^^; I don't want to sound mean dear but I just read this over and I'd like if you could either censor your swear words or change them to a cleaner version. We most probably have kids wandering around here and I don't want the board to be blocked because of a few swear words. ^^

[Bloodcore]

Ok. I'll find that difficult but All right.

[MoonStarNinja4]

Interesting start. I can't wait for more. ^_^

I like your idea of having music go with each chapter/part of the story.
I really liked "The Vision". That one sounded cool.
(Yes!! Now I know the name of that music!)

[whisperer]

Good so far! I'm happy to see you writing again, too. Looking forward to see where this goes :D

[Bloodcore]

Thanks. It's good to be back. Just something really bad happened to me and I disappeared from the internet for a while.

Anna blinked very quickly.

"Really? I find that hard to believe...I mean you're a good looking guy and..." She just trailed off. Josh shuffled in closer curiously, inching his head closer to her. Suddenly, she seemed to snap back into reality and jumped up.

"HOLY SHIT, GIANTS EXIST...OH GOD!!" Anna yelled, ruffling her hair in a frenzy. Josh was severely surprised at her outburst.

"Anna? Please calm down...You're scaring me a little..." He stuttered, reaching towards her. Almost savagely, Anna hit his finger, trying to get it away. Josh barely felt a thing but was still shocked and became saddened.

"But I thought...I found a friend..."

"A dream...This...Heh..a dream..." Anna shuddered with her back to Josh. A piece of paper fluttered from her quivering body. Taking his pointer finger and licking it, he stuck it onto the miniscule paper. He was about to look when Anna bolted away.

"Ah! Wait! Er-" Josh reached out uselessly. It slumped down in sadness as crystal tears dripped from his baby blues. Clearing his eyes, he squinted at the paper on his finger.

"Magee Secondary School...Schedule of Anna Vengdon." Josh looks at the starry sky with a smirk.

"Tomorrow's...Thursday right? Surprise, Anna."

Holding her throbbing head, Anna trudged through Magee Secondary School, heading to Biology, her next class on the third floor.

"What the hell did I do last night?" She muttered to herself. A hard slap on the back made her spin around. It was her friend, Kylie.

"Didja get a headache? Were you drinking?" She frowned. She was a total Christian fanatic.

"Why does it matter? Will I go to Hell?" Anna smirked playfully. Kylie frowned again.

"Nevermind. Did you hear about what was in Stanley Park last night?" She questioned. Anna twitched.

"N-No. What was there?" Anna stammered, hoping it was just an attack like usual. Kylie spread her arms wide as they entered the Bio class and sat down near the windows, sunlight beaming in.

"A HUGE MAN!! I kid you not, like, a hundred feet tall or something!" Kylie chirped. Anna dropped her pencil and binder on the floor in shock.

'Oh no' She thought 'Was it not a dream? Dear god...' Scooping down to get her stuff, with her voice shaking, said,

"Who saw it? A druggie most likely...Tripping on shrooms."

"I swear that it's true! And he was talking to a girl, I also heard!" Kylie continued, causing Anna to choke on nothing.

'No, no, no' She thought again. Out of nowhere, the room shook. Girls in the class screamed and clung to their boyfriends in fear and the windows broke. Both Anna and Kylie held onto their desks and prayed it would end. The sunlight vanished and darkness covered the classroom. The darkness shifted and those blue orbs focused on Anna.

"No dream." A rumbling voice emitted from the giant staring into the classroom. Her mouth opened and moved but nothing came out. The blue eyes narrowed.

"Who's your friend?" Twisting her head, Anna noticed that he was looking at Kylie who was clinging to her, muttering prayers with eyes closed.

"Kylie...Wait, what the hell are you doing here?! You're a dream!" She yelled. Shaking his head back and forth, Josh stepped back on the school grounds, careful not to step on anyone. He held out his hand to the broken windows.

"I won't let you run. You're my first friend and friends see each other's homes. You saw mine, I want to see yours."

[Bloodcore]

Me: No...You don't...But thanks anyway!!

Josh: Was it that bad?!

Josh held out his hand waiting but Anna was too scared to step onto it. His blue eyes seemed tinted with disappointment with the tiniest hint of dislike. He sighed.

"I don't want to do this, but you're not coming out." Anna, Kylie and all the other classmates saw as Josh took away his arm, pulled it back and coiled his hand into a fist. Obviously, they screamed. I mean, wouldn't you? SLAM!! The wall crumbled down! Several people, including Kylie, passed out from the sheer shock of a giant, blue-haired man punching a wall down. Anna had had enough.

"WHAT THE HELL?!! 'FRIENDS' DON'T DO THIS CRAP TO EACH OTHER!!" She yelled over the screaming. Josh blinked quickly.

"You gonna come out now? So we can play?" He said like a child. Anna gaped and finally facepalmed.

"Fine, just don't hurt anyone." She sighed. Gingerly, she stepped onto Josh's now once again stretched out hand.
