Running Away-

Summary: Harper has been running away his whole life. Finally, when he has settled into his perfect place, he has to run away, yet again.

This happens after Harper got infested with the Magog eggs, but before he got them out. So Trance is still purple.

' A young boy pushed through the vines, covering the door. The young boy, Seamus Harper, clampered through the forest, staying in the tree's shadows.

He didn't dare look behind him. He could fall from not paying attention. Either that or his worst fear could be happening.

His worst fear was confirmed as he heard the Uber shouting through the trees.

"Boy, come back here! Stop running like a child, and face your punishment like a man! You can't run forever. You can't run away from all of your fears!"

Harper fought back tears that threatened to run down his face. The blood was still fresh on his back. Marks of his last 'punishment'.

Harper stole a glance behind him. Which was a mistake. His 'master' was charging through the trees, as if they had jumped out of his way, in fear of being trampled.

He was gaining on Harper. As Harper looked back to where he was running, he suddenly found himself sprawled on the ground.

A couple from the nearby dock looked down at him with disgust.

"Get away from me you filthy mudfoot." The man snarled. The women just sneered the word "Kludge"

The Uber was gaining on his position. The Uber shouted out, "Stop that slave!"

Without thinking, Harper broke out in a run. The man tried to grab him, but Harper was already half way down the road.

He saw an abandoned gym, towering over him. He scampered inside, then hid in the nearest vent.

He heard the Uber grunt in frustration as he entered the gym. "Where are you, you fucking slave." he snarled.

After taking a quick check, the Uber left.

Harper stayed in the vent, rocking back and forth, crying. He finally fell asleep in a puddle of his own blood.'

Hi! Sorry, this is a flashback! I hope you liked it. Sorry about the bad word, but you know Ubers and their fowl mouths! Well, I'm going to go write the 2nd chapter, without even waiting to post this! Bye! (I have to go to the STUPID library to go on the Internet, so I write my stuff at home, on the computer! If I don't post for a long while, I probably either have writer's block, or I can't get to the library(and their stupid times their open))

Sorry, that was WAY too much info. Just the story of my life.
