Running scared - Mordred

She finally did it. She escaped, she found a way out of that hellhole. Away from those nasty people, she was held by. Those experiments they did on her. Her body was covered in scars, from them digging around in her, opening her up repeatedly. Just so they could see what she looked like, inside. Even when she was in her unicorn form.
She could still hear her own screams when she closed her eyes.
She ran like hell, she didn't know about the living dead, until she came out. Now she was both running from the two guards and a bunch of dead people, who wanted to eat her. What had this world come to?
She was so scared, her body was aching from all the scars, slowly opening up again. Tears of desperation and fear were streaming down her face, as she ran through the darkness, trying to find a place to hide, but where ever she went, it was filled with those living dead.
She couldn't run anymore, she felt so weak and tired. Her clothes were bloody, the fresh wounds from the morning were opening up.
She thought she lost the guards until she began to hear yelling in the distance. It wasn't the living dead, no, the yelling was too familiar.
A frustrated scream escaped her lips, as she tried to run faster, the adrenaline pumping wild.
She tried to turn corners, so they would get off her trail and she could rest for a moment, behind a dumpster in an alley. She couldn't rest for long though, because she wasn't alone. A living dead had seen her and was dragging it's dead body towards you while saying incoherent words.
There was no way out, she was stuck and done for. She didn't regret running away though, it would be far worse to still be stuck there. She would rather die and welcome death with open arms.
She closed her eyes, whimpering in pain and fear. She just waited for the pain to stop, so she wouldn't be able to open her eyes again and be in an eternal slumber.

Mordred looked around, as he slowly moved through the small town, he had never seen a place this empty...weren't town's supposed to be full of you know people and life....his nana had told him to go to Gaia and find Athene....it was the place his mom and dad had met so why not try and see what it was like...after he got the money he needed so he could actually afford going to school. He slung his bag over his shoulder and walked down the street. *This is so wired... where on earth is everybody! this can't be normal...i mean this place looks so dead...and wait....what's that....oh is that...it looks kinda dead....and it's running over here....fuck....okay...shit shit shit!! run run run!*.

He startede to run as fast as he could down the street away from what...*whatever that thing was...if this is what all people are like...i wanna  go home....this place is scary....*. He turned down a street and saw a....girl...that was a girl right....i mean she had the same shape as mom and nana...but...still he wasn't really sure.

He saw one of those things run the same way as her, he felt fear grab him...no not again... he looked around trying to see if he could use anything to activate his abilities....*damn it gotta make this up as i go along* he ran after her. He saw her hiding behind a...ummmm...thing...with her eyes closed and whimpering.  He slowly crouched down in front of her, putting his had on the ground summoning the plants to come to his aid Hey ummm so...i...ummm...Mordred....can you stand...i mean i can carry you but umm...those things are coming he begged her as his voice echoed in their heads. He sighed as the monsters grew closer, not waiting for an answer, the second he felt the earth welcome him, oh thank god you are listening....i need you guys to hold those things off for as long as you can okay. He smiled when the plants agreed and a wall of vines started  to grow up from the ground. He pulled the girl in to his arms and was stunned for a second when he saw her eyes beautiful...i mean...ummm...hold on... i will get yu out  of here, he smiled and started to run down the ally.

A sudden voice came into her head, and it wasn't her's. She made a small squeak when she looked up and a boy was in front of her. Who was he? She didn't know him, he wasn't from the place. Did he... want to hurt her? It didn't seem like it, he seemed like he tried to help her? Mordred? How did he get into her head? She didn't know what to answer back. She just nodded. She could stand, it was just hard.
She looked behind him, seeing the monsters coming closer. Until plants were starting to grow, shielding them from the monsters. She looked at Mordred with a surprised and questioning look. Was that him, did he do that? Who was he? How did he even find her? Subject 2 was a bit scared, she didn't know what was happening. He could easily be from the hospital, and just tried to get her back.
She was shocked when he pulled her into his arms. She hadn't been this close to anyone ever! What was he doing? She looked up at him, her eyes displaying the wonder. Get her out of there? A smile was on his lips, but it was different from every smile she had seen before. There was nothing behind her, no bad intentions, it was just pure. It was weird being in a stranger's arms, but she didn't have the energy to stop him and protest. She laid her hands on each of his shoulders, being sure he wouldn't drop her when he started running.
Where was he even going, did he have a place? She felt weird being this comfortable in a stranger's arms, just letting him carry her. At the same time, it was nice not having to run anymore. She found herself relaxing, to spare some energy, if she had to run from this guy too, but he seemed different.

She made a small squeak when she looked up and Mordred was in front of her. hey hey hey….im not here to hurt you…I promise…you can trust me he smiled at her and slowly helped her up and tucked her into his chest. She looked at Mordred with a surprised and questioning look.

ummm…yea…I can talk to plants…I asked them for help….. When he was sure the plant wall was thick and would keep them out long enough so they could get away, he pulled her into his arms. A small blush crept up his neck…she’s so close…and smells nice….and has blue eyes…she’s beautiful….okay more running less thinking….not that thinking is bad…but…okay gotta go…

She laid her hands on each of his shoulders, being sure he wouldn't drop her when he started running. A breath escaped him the second he felt her arms… I got you…. He started to run as fast as he could towards the forest.

He kept looking down at the girl sorry…you just…I mean…your beautiful….ummm hehehe…whats your name?…He stopped at the edge of the forest to catch his breath, and slowly started to move into the forest you will be safe…nobody comes here anyway he let himself relax when he saw his home he kicked the door in and slowly sat the girl down on the sofa.

Trust him, that was something new. The couldn't trust anyone. She never trusted anyone before, people always wanted to hurt her or get something from her. But this guy, he was different. She didn't know what to think, but he brought her to safety, så maybe he was worth trusting?
He was different, like her. Talking to plants? She never heard of that before, at it somehow made her feel safe, to know that she wasn't the only one, with weird powers.
She grabbed onto his shoulders and couldn't stop giggling when he ran with her. It felt weird, funny.
She stopped when she heard his voice in her head again. Beautiful, yeah that was what they all called her, but somehow she knew he meant it differently.
She looked up at him. Her name? Her name wasn't normal, she knew that from the numerous doctors that were around her. They were called something like this guy, something simple, something unique.
She bit down on her lip, before speaking. She didn't normally speak, she usually just screamed, so her voice was squeaky and small. Subject... 2? He would probably look weirdly at her, maybe she should have just made up a more normal name?
She directed her eyes to the small cottage they were nearing. It was so different from the building she was held at. It felt more like... home. Safe, she was safe here.
She looked around when he sat her down. Her eyes went to Mordred, her eyes filled with wonder. She didn't want him to leave her side, she was too scared to be alone.

Mordred couldn’t help but smile when she grabbed onto his shoulders and couldn't stop giggling when he ran with her. His cheeks turned red and he had to look away from her, so she didn’t see how beet red his face was…her laugh was so beautiful…he had never heard a sound so amazing in his life.
He looked down at her suddenly afraid that he had said something wrong. She bit down on her lip, before speaking, her voice was squeaky and small. He felt his heart clench at how tiny her voice was…it was like she never used her voice…like him…he smiled when he heard her name Subject... 2…that’s not a name…hmmm I think Im gonna call you…hmm something beautiful….like…Mya….what do you think? he smiled at her waiting for an answer.

She directed her eyes to the small cottage they were nearing. He sighed in relief as he opened the door, he had no clue why he did what he did, but there was something about her…something he wanted to protect. She looked around when he sat her down. Her eyes went to Mordred, her eyes filled with wonder. He smiled shyly and looked back at her, before he sat down next to her and slowly placed a hand on her shoulder do you want some food? A hot bath? Or maybe you just wanna sleep? Or I could just go if you…you..you wanna be alone…

Subject 2 was mesmerized by this guy. He helped her without wanting someone in return, he didn't make demands and he wasn't being cruel. He was actually being kind to her because he wanted to. It was something new, she wasn't treated very nicely at the place she ran from.
He was right, subject 2 wasn't really a name for a person, but she wasn't treated as a person either. Just, well yeah a subject. She was kinda happy that he would choose a new name for her. It was a new beginning and maybe he could be a part of her new life. She needed people she could trust and he seemed like a good person.
Mya? That sounded unique and beautiful. She smiled at Mordred and nodded. Mya she simply said, as she confirmed she liked it. Her name was now Mya, chosen by Mordred, the one that got her to safety.

Her eyes followed when he sat down. A shiver went through her body when his hand was placed on her shoulder. She was given many choices, food, a bath, sleep! All she ever wanted but in what order? Her eyes went wide and she took a hold of his hand on her shoulder, when he asked if she just wanted to be left alone. She didn't, she was in a whole new place and he was the only one she felt remotely safe with at the time.
She wasn't ready for a full-blown conversation with him, she wasn't one who said many full sentences. Maybe the technique he uses, maybe he can hear her thoughts too like he transfers his thoughts to her. She didn't know, but it was worth a try.
Food, bath and then sleep. Please don't leave me alone she closed her eyes as if trying to concentrate really hard, to get her thoughts to him, even though it seemed a bit crazy.

She smiled at Mordred and nodded." Mya" she simply said, as she confirmed she liked it. Mordred felt relief flood his body...she liked it...she liked the name he picked...he felt so much happiness that he had no choice, but to pull her in closer, her tiny body felt so right in his arms. And he knew...that he would do anything to keep her safe and happy.

Her eyes followed when he sat down. A shiver went through her body when his hand was placed on her shoulder. He pulled his hand back not wanting to crowd her, or make her feel bad. Her eyes went wide and she took a hold of his hand on her shoulder, when he asked if she just wanted to be left alone. He gave her a soft smile im not going anywhere...if you want me to stay i will stay he gave her hand a squeeze and looked at her in wonder when he heard her
"Food, bath and then sleep. Please don't leave me alone". The only person who had ever talked to him like the that wasn't a plant was his nana...most people just spoke to him and he would use his power to answer back...but nana always spoke to him with her mind...she was a very quiet woman...never really spoke...not after that night.

You are amazing! not too many people try talking to me like this...but you...you are amazing...so how do you feel about tomato sope? and freshly baked bread? as for the bath...im gonna boil some water so you can have a nice warm bath...wanna come into the kitchen with me?

She got a bit surprised when he pulled her closer to his body. It wasn't really something she was used to, so much skinship. She didn't pull away though, as she would have done with any other person, but he was different in the way, that she felled she could trust him.

She gave him a small smile when he told her he wouldn't go anywhere. It was a relief and she could relax a bit again. She took her hand back since she didn't have to hold onto him, as he would not walk away from her, for the time being.
Mya smiled when it seemed as he got the message she tried to send to him. It was nice knowing she could just communicate with him like that and not use her voice. Not that she couldn't speak, she just wasn't that good at it.
She blushed slightly when he told her she was amazing. She hadn't really heard that word in that kind of context, where she wasn't looked at like an object or animal.
Tomato soup? Not really a dish she had heard of, the food she got back at the... place, was usually the same bland food. She nodded with excitement as she was excited to try something new. She got up and waited for him to lead the way into the kitchen.
Everything was so new and exciting and she wasn't even that scared, perhaps 'he' was the cause of that?
