The night was cold and brooding, it was something that you'd see if you ripped open a killers heart, and maybe that's what it was. Drops of rain fell from the heavens, puffs of gray covering the midnight sky. Heavy breathes mingling with the downpour as water splashed under heavy steps.
Running down an alley was a man of silver hair that mimicked the moon herself. You wouldn't usually find a beauty like him in the alleys, especially at this time, but it wasn't by his choice. He ran, ran like his life depended on it. Because it did. He tried to scream but his voice was stuck, just like himself.
His steps would stop to a screeching halt, almost slipping as he met a dead end. He can't go anywhere, trapped like a bird in a cage. He turned around, taking slow but panicked steps until his back felt the damp bricks against his clothes— seeping to his skin. Tears mingled with rain, fingers shaking and clung to the rough clay. Ocean eyes couldn't help but shrink as a dark figure came closer, a familiar glimmer of sliver under the countless droplets making him yelp.
He couldn't die, not like this.
He felt his knees bend, making him fall on his ass and close his eyes for a second. When he opened them again, he found himself shaded under his chaser. He opened his mouth and did the thing he knew best.
"Please! No! I beg of you! Please don't! I don't want to die! Spare me please!!"
He scurried and squirmed, trying to run but was met with a hand to his neck. His throat started closing— his angelic voice ripped from him. He kicked, hands coming up to weakly tug at the calloused fingers gripping his neck. He saw a sliver of light move higher, the shine almost blinding him. It was either that or his lungs failing him. He'd choose neither.
Just when the knife was about to strike him, a loud bang echoed from the far end of the alley. The hand let's go of his neck, dropping him— the body dropping in unison. As the figure fell, he saw a familiar silhouette at the end. This time he wasnt scared, he felt safe— he knew he was safe. He ran, faster than ever and jumped into the arms of the other.
"Zeal!" He cried, hands coming up to the others broader shoulders.
"It's ok Kaelix I got you, no one will hurt you now angel"
