If you want to live

I darted out the open door and down the hall. Everything seemed to be closing in on me. I hit a wall and with no strenght to move I slid to the floor. Head on my knees and hands on my head I sat trying to figure out what had happened. Then I heard footsteps coming up next to me.

“Tara honey, is that you. Look I’m sorry I didn’t want it to end like this. It just wasn’t working for me.”

He kneeled down and lifted my head. I closed my eyes so he couldn’t see the hatred I felt. I felt a pain in my leg causing me to open my eyes. Luke was pinned against the wall about two feet off the floor with my hand around his neck.

He was kicking like a wild animal and beginning to turn blue, when a hand appeared on my arm. I turned to see a pair of light green eyes looking at me. My grip lossened and Luke fell to the floor.

“Tara..” His voice brough a calm over me.

“What the hell was that Tara?” Luke demanded.

“Tara if you want to live you must come with me now.” Said the calming voice.
