A game of chase

Mila halted near the corner , this was the fifth shadow she was colliding with and she has never felt more scared in her entire living days . All the shadows have blood around their ghosty bodies and also on their sharp claws . 

She turns around , running around the pillar while she looks for a way out . None of the humans , or whatever those people that were shouting at one another to get to her are now alive . They all now lie dead on the ground . She was sure the shadows were the cause and now they want her . 

In those few seconds , she no longer felt the ground . She was picked up and directed to the third floor above . Landing down on the ground , her round eyes glance down to see the man in a long black robe and blue lips looking up at her . It's as if he is helping her escape , but wants to see where she will end up . A game of chase . 

Mila ran away , heading to her right where she saw a sharp corner she could turn to . It was no longer than ten seconds a shadow appeared in front of her . She halted in her tracks , her heart leaping out her throat . She craned her neck as she looks up at the shadow . It's figure is too massive and it was hiding her small frame with it's gigantic one.

Lord , must she not die like this . What will happen to her sister ? Her mother ? 

As she backs away slowly in terrifying steps , the shadow showed it's full appearance . Smoke dangling right on the outline of it's fury body. It's razor sharp teeth were snapped and growling at her . It's crystal yellow eyes with green slits pinned on her trembling body . 

As a tear slips from her golden brown eyes , the shadow let out an animalistic growl , causing a frighten scream to erupt from her lips before she sharply turned around on her heels but the sudden grip on her head pulled her back . 

Gosh why the hair ? 

She cried out to the Lord . Her saviour and that should He please help her . She is in dire need of her guardian angel right now . 

While she screams and focuses on applying more strength to her legs and trying to get away from the shadow that is growling at her , a man with Ash blonde hair appeared from behind the corner and slashed his dagger inside the shadows back . 

The shadow let out a loud pained roar before light emitted out from the shadows back . Slow by slow , it's grip loosened from Mila's hair and she fell down to the ground before regaining her composure and scrambling away from there before she halts and she turns to look behind . The air around them turned heated as the two men behind the roaring shadow that is barely seen through the light enveloped around it cover their eyes , including Mila who couldn't see the two men . 

The roars died down and they suddenly turned to sounds of ... a bird chirping . The sounds died down and the light cleared out . 

Mila looked at the bird with different glowing colours on the ground . The bird was beautiful and fascinating , a total opposite to the gory shadows . 

Her frightened yet intrigued eyes finally look up , following the sounds of someone breathing aloud . Two men . She was about to panic and stand up , getting ahold of the vase on the small table besides her to use as a weapon when a man approached her but slashed his dagger into the shadow that appeared from behind her . 

The same process happened again . The roars that hurt their ears and the blinding light that blinded their eyes before the bird appeared . 

"They will not stop on coming , Zach ! Just get her out of there !" Mila glances down at the ground the moment she hears Augustus voice . The man standing next to her with Ash blonde hair turns to her and she immediately backs away from him . 

In the process of standing up , a sudden explosion resounded before blood splattered on the walls and on the three people on the hallway. A scream erupted from the man that once stood behind the blonde man . 

After the blood stopped splattering , Mila looked down at where the bird's once stood . She covered her mouth while she gurgles , feeling like she would soon vomit . But God she prayed , don't let me vomit . 

Jasmine had once said that she is strange because she can not stand the sight of her own vomit and she gets scared by it . It would atleast make sense if she was scared of other people's vomits , which she is , but she is more scared of vomiting herself . One time when she was drunk , Mila had cried due to her stomach churning and her feeling like she would soon vomit. Her mother was right by her side , telling her to let it go but Mila was scared . For fuck sakes - she had cried and sobbed ,' I don't want to . Make it stop mom , please . I promise , I promise I will never dri-' she had then vomited . It was like her body was saying , I would rather vomit than to say a false vow . 

Back to the present , the ash blonde haired man turned to the man that Mila had first met when she first arrived in this church . The ash blonde haired man cocks his thick eyebrow at the man ," You scream like a chick ." The blonde haired man said.
