"Teyha!" Sounded a low voice, and the girl froze, her eyes widening slightly as she heard heavy footsteps sounding from behind her. The terribly familiar voice of her older brother sent shivers through her body, and she didn't even bother to turn toward him, fear already on her face.<br/><br/>"I have to go!" She told whatever waited in the bush, "I'm sorry..." She said in a rush, already stumbling to her feet before sprinting from the shrub. She could hear the panting of her heavier set brother, still a good bit behind her, and she dashed out of the quiet suburb of the city. She wasn't sure what the person hiding in the bushes did, and in her panic she cared very little. All that ran through her mind was getting away.<br/><br/>How could she be so stupid? She left her home without telling anyone, not even a note of what she was doing... Of course when her brother came into the room he would know she left. He probably thought she had ran away... And... The color drained from her face when she glanced around, realizing to her horror that she had wandered into a construction site. It occurred to her that they were building just beyond the suburbs.<br/><br/>If he caught her here, what would he do? Rape her? Something she had managed to protect herself against in these three years, but in her stupidity she left herself wide open, alone, and in the ideal location for an attack. "Brilliant, Teyha." She told herself bitterly, spinning to look around herself for some sign of movement, another person to cling to until she could get back to her home. "Hello?" She called loudly, her voice edged with panic. "Is anyone out there?" A part of her feared announcing her location, but it would be a few minutes at least before her brother could catch up, and she'd rather take her chances with a stranger.
