Secret Blood

Before I knew it... I was running. I was running as fast as I could, to get away. I had to get away. I couldn't stay here any longer. I could hear the tree branches crunching as they moved to catch up to me. I had one thing on my mind: Run... and don't stop. As I glanced back to see how close they were, I tripped.  I didn't move. I couldn't move. I could feel the coldness from the ground and my head throbbing with pain. This was it... defeat. My one chance to escape and I failed. I would never get to see my real family again, my home... all because of the blood that runs through my veins.
