I was running through the alley away from these three men. These men were sent by ex-boyfriend to bring me back to him. "There's no way in hell I'm going back to him." I said under my breath. I ran into an alley, but it was a dead end. "Shit!" I said looking for a place to hide. I could hear their footsteps coming closer and closer. My heart was beating out of my chest and I stood waiting for them to come. I had no where to hide and nowhere to go.

    "End of the line!" I heard of a voice say. I turned around to see one of the men who were chasing me. He had drawn a knife out and was stalking towards me. "Come Anne make this easier on yourself and come quietly." he said, walking closer and closer to me.

    "No!" I said, standing my ground. As he walked closer another man walked right behind him. "OK I'm dead." I said closing my eyes and praying to God to take me now.

    Then I opened my eyes to see a blinding red light and mist surrounded this figure. Then a man appeared out from the mist. He stood at least 7 feet, with numerous tats on his arms, wearing leather outfit, boots, too. His hair was half up half down, his hair was the same color as mine but darker. He wore black bands on his wrist and his eyes were the deepest color green that I've ever seen. Green flames seemed to outline his eyes and his hands were bigger than any mortal man."Where does this guy come from?" I asked myself as the two guys approached me.

    "You should've listened to reason but it's time to die." Ronald said, stalking towards me with his knife drawn up. I looked behind them. This man had drawn this blade that seemed to give off a red light when drawn.

    "She's not going to die you two are." he said, in a very deep voice. His voice seemed to be sending shivers down my body and into my soul.

    Ronald and his friend turned around to see him. With growl he stabbed Ronald in the heart, as Steve stabbed this man in the arm. He grabbed his arms while blood was coming from the wound. "Now you die." Steve raised the knife that Ronald had dropped, on the ground, when he disappeared into thin air.

    "NOOOOOOOOO!" I said running at Steve.

    I took him down with a spare but I was stabbed before I could hit him. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I cried out. I fall to the ground and saw blood coming from somewhere but I could not find it.

    "Now bitch you're going die!" Steve hissed at me. He raised the knife and prepared to stab me one more but it never came. I heard Steve's body hit the ground with, THUD, and I saw his body just disappear into thin air just like Ronald's did. He rested his blade and walked over to me.

    "What in god's name are you?" I asked him.

    He knelt down to look at me and said "I am the chaser of souls, but you may call me Soulchaser."

    "No, you've come for me." I said trying sit up. The pain was too painful for me to sit up and fell back unto the ground as this soulchaser looked at me. "Help me." I said before darkness calmed me.

    Never had he had someone ask him for help. He was puzzled. He looked down at my body and feelings surfaced. "Why are these feelings surfacing now?" he asked hisself. He hated mortals but this one was special somehow. He picked me up and carried me to near by hospital. Just before he disappeared he took a lock of my hair and smelled it. He was taking the smell of me. Then he was gone.
