Riley was drenched with water, the rain making his jeans stick to him uncomfortably. His bare feet raced on the cobble stone streets. He stepped in various puddles, but pressed on despite the growing cold that shivered through his body. His chest heaved with the pain of running so fast. His shirtless body quivered as he ran, the rain now starting to feel like stinging bullets on his pale flesh.<br/>He heard a voice, and looked off into the distance. He saw a figure, a man. He wasn't sure what else he could do, so he ran to him. His legs burned with pain.<br/>He got to the man and almost collapsed from exhaustion. He clutched onto him to keep himself from falling down, he savored his presence. Riley looked behind himself, the shadow had disappeared for now. Riley looked into the man's eyes in panic.<br/>"Please," He panted his words distant as he tried to catch his breath, "You have to help...me. A...shadow has mistaken me...for a rebel. Please."<br/>He hoped that this man was friendly enough to find it in his heart to save him.
