Title: Run
Characters: Nicky Lester (OC), Helen
Rating: PG for being chased
Challenge: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Warning: None
Disclaimer: Helen's part of Primeval, so belongs to ITV.
A/N: Nicky Lester is part of the family I invented for Lester: he's the youngest of the three children, Liz, Jamie and Nicky. You can find out more about him and his brother and sister here at my writing journal.

 

Nicky runs, his feet pounding on the footpath. All he did was go out to walk his grandmother’s dog, and then the dog fled and Nicky felt himself... watched.

 

Then the woman came, dragged him into the shade of a tree and shushed him, told him her name -‘Helen’- and to say hello to his father for her, then ordered him to run and not look back.

 

Nicky obeyed: he knows he’s in danger, his instincts scream it, pouring adrenaline into his blood -By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes-

 

Nicky knows he is being hunted.
