Holy..

So I just wanted to say this: I finally checked my blog stats and woah...261 followers? Y'all are awesome! And guess what else! I happened to win an ARC of a book I've been dying for! If you catch Showcase Sunday this week you can find out which ARC. But it was a writing contest and even though I usually hate for others seeing my writing, here's the entry:

I twisted my hair into a ponytail, tucking it under my cap and lowering the brim. I took one last look around the room full of strangers, wondering which would help me escape, and which would try to kill me.

Running had never been my way to take care of things, but even I had to admit, there was no other choice. I tried to concentrate on the voices around me, but my mind kept wandering to the question that had been haunting me: Should I trust them? But it was too late for doubt. This was my last chance.

Shaking myself out of my thoughts, I watched the room, waiting for just one small movement… CLICK. My stomach plummeted as the sound of a gun invaded my mind. I kicked out without thought, feeling my foot connect with something hard. That was all I acknowledged before I ran straight through the crowd. Which was filled with those who wanted me gone.

Shouts of surprise and rage filled the room as I flew past them, but I paid no attention. I had to get out of this room, this place, before they destroyed every secret I had kept safe since I had been born.

I ran up the stairs, panting. Suddenly, I was yanked into a dark room hidden away, barely big enough for two people. I froze, rigid.

“Where do you think you’re going?” A dark voice asked, chuckling humorlessly.

I gasped, recognizing him. “You?! You should be dead!”

Hope you enjoyed. :P And I'm still not back but I'll be back in business by Wednesday!
