Save Me (Being Edited) Chapter 4

Snow’s Pov

My entire body would be filled with anxiety, my fingers picking at each other’s nails. The reason for my anxiety would make itself known, my stomach would let out an almost blood curdling growl as the hunger claws with fury at my insides. 

I didn’t like it but I know what I have to do: walking into a grocery store I would keep my head lowered to the floor.

I would walk to one of the sections of foods, it was close to the front but it was where most of the fresh fruits, vegetables, the deli, and ore would be stored at least in this store so it was the ideal choice.

Acting quickly, I would reach up and grab a green apple from the section closest to me. Right as I grabbed the apple, I took off in a run praying that I wouldn’t be discovered.

Smiling to myself, I would run back to my home which is still the alley that my mommy had left me in. 

I was proud of myself for getting food for at least that day, usually I get more but I was too anxious today. I was a little disappointed because I knew my mommy and daddy were watching over me and frowning because I stole but I need to survive. 

Sitting down in my corner of the alley, I would take one bite of the green apple before almost completely devouring it. I even almost ate the core somehow. 

Sadly I knew that it wasn’t enough to last me a while but I was hoping I wouldn’t just shove it down in my throat but I am starving so I’m being a little unfair to myself.

A few years had passed since my parents died and I was now 14 and still obviously living in the alley-way. Nobody tried to help me so I had to learn to survive on my own. Sadly I could only survive off of stealing but as long as I live I don’t care. 

Covering myself with a thin blanket I would lay down, getting ready to take a small nap 

It was then I realized the intruding presence of a stranger, someone is in my home, my territory.

A hiss would push itself from my mouth as my fight response kicked in.

 Even though I knew there was no way out, the only thing I knew was that if it was the man then I was in danger. 

 I could be killed! Just like my mommy and daddy!! I don’t want to die here!! I want to avenge them before I die! Even if I don’t stand a chance I want to at least try!

Tears of frustration would spill from the corners of my eyes as I tried to think of a way, any way that I could escape and survive.

The person would slowly walk forward, revealing their shadow little by little. As they walked closer, their footsteps grew louder along with the sudden clanking of glass. 

The end of my life was nearing with every step and I am beyond terrified to see the fact of the monster who haunts me dreams. The monster who stained his hands with the blood of my mommy and daddy, even my blood.

It was now that he finally found me. 

He found me to seek what he thought as rightfully his my life, my blood, my soul.

A final scream ripped itself from my raw throat as I finally saw the person… the man who found me after years of searching.
