It's Slightly Indirect

Leaving the park like this was nerve-wracking but necessary, moving from grass and paths to pavement would probably be the riskiest thing I'd ever done naked. I steeled myself though, I couldn't afford to hesitate.

Making my way out I crouched behind a car. It was truly night now, the signs of pedestrian activity was low and even though my eyes had adjusted to the dark, visibility was lower still. All things that worked in my favour, but even with such logical advantages my eyes darted at every corner and shadow, everything his a voyeur ready to call me out, ready to pull me to the police.

Part of me was enjoying that though, oh sure being out here naked was a thrill in itself, but the risk involved? It felt like playing a naughty game of tag...and everyone was It.

I darted down the pavement, I couldn't see anyone watching, but that didn't mean I needed to take my time. I crouched back down, a car, I heard it pass by, the lights briefly illuminating my ankles from below the vehicle I'm hiding behind. Not that I needed a reminder of my nudity...

I moved again, each time in bursts.

Then I saw them again, those two police officers. They were walking idly...but they were heading this way. I didn't think, just acted, couldn't let them get close enough to see me. So I ran between two houses, into the side alley that led behind them.

"Shit..." I hissed to myself, it was too overgrown to get behind the houses. Looking at the garden fences I bit my lip, chose the one that would put me in the direction of Emma's house, then hopped the fence.

It was easier than expected, climbing a garden fence naked like this, maybe it was the adrenaline. I landed well enough, stumbling a little. A fairly average back garden, some flowers, but mainly grass. It didn't matter, I wasn't there to sightsee. I streaked across and climbed the fence on the other side.

Again, fairly easy. But when I landed in this one the back light came on. In was probably just automatic, but I ran like I'd been caught, I was fully illuminated after all. Climbing another fence I took a short breath...then saw a pair of eyes perk up from a kennel on the far end.

A tinge of fear shot through me, getting attacked by a dog like this would be less than ideal. But then my worries shifted to relief as the canine came to investigate, I recognised this dog, a really fluffy border collie called Dandelion. Thankfully he recognised me too and because I was surprisingly calm, acted chill.

Then it hit me, I recognised this dog. I was in the back garden of my old sixth form teacher. Biting my lip, I tried to keep a handle on my feelings, I really didn't want to spook Dandelion into making any noise.

Calmly as I could I made my way to the other end of the garden, then I heard a door open behind me. Common sense won over fear and curiosity and I bolted, not wanting my face to be recognised by someone like that. In moments I was already over the fence...and the next one too.

Thankfully this time put me in another little alleyway.

"...shit" I sighed as I caught my breath. I'd already been sweating a little from my park jog, but I'd been running and climbing now. My body was covered in the stickiness of sweat and the grime of outdoor activity. I ran my hand across a breast and it felt slick with exertion. I wasn't tired yet though, this was just forelay to my stamina.

Poking my head out from the alley, I checked the coast was clear, then scampered towards a nearby parked car. I couldn't have been that far away now...leaning my head out, I checked the nearby bins for house numbers.

Good, just a couple houses down.

Biting my lip I threw caution to the wind...and ran.

I figured that even if the police were called on me, I'd be inside by the time they were even on their way. With a dumb grin I let myself feel the cool night air on my body as I ran, let myself feel how my uncovered form shifted and jiggled with every step. I pictured someone watching from their window, seeing some crazy, sweaty, naked girl running through the neighbourhood at the quiet hours of the night.

I couldn't help but laugh at that mental image, not because it was funny, but because of how exciting it was.

I really was crazy, but a good, sexually charged crazy that I wanted to feed.

The fun was starting to end though, I saw Emma's house up ahead. The light was on in the living room and I saw the indistinct shape of a person pacing left to right.

Jogging up to the front door I rang the doorbell and waited. I couldn't have been standing there for more than two seconds when the door swung open and Emma grabbed me by the arm, pulling me in and locking it behind me.

"Oh my god Rachel holy shit I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave you there I just- The police and it was late, I was worried that they'd try and question me or something, I mean they've been doing the same to any youths hanging out late. But you- I mean I just ditched you and I took your clothes and I-"

I let her get it out of her system for a bit while I caught my breath. Honestly I probably should've felt a little mad? Emma did ditch me, I didn't know where she'd gone and I had to streak all the way here.

But if she didn't, then I'd likely have walked back with her in the hoodie she'd taken from me.

Sensing a break in her spiral I just smiled and put a hand on her shoulder "Emma, I'm okay. Really"

"...wait, what?" My taller friend asked, seeming genuinely confused, her eyes looking a moment away from tears "You're...what?"

"I'm okay Emma, it was just- There was a complication, we both had to handle it in our own way" I tried to reassure her "It probably wasn't right to just run, but it was the police, you had every right to be worried. Okay?"

Emma just looked back at me, it was like she was trying to process what had happened with the context of what I was saying, with any number of contradictions in her thoughts making any of that...difficult.

"Emma?" I asked, trying to meet her gaze.

She took a moment to stop looking straight through me, but when she did she pulled me into a hug "Rachel I'm sorry I just-"

"Don't worry, I know" I wrapped my arms around her in turn, even if getting hugged like this felt a little weird.

"I was getting too into it. I mean you- G-getting you to do all those things-" Emma whined, hugging me tighter. "Then I just left you"

"It's okay Emma" I whispered, stroking the back of her head "I'm here, I'm safe. Really..."

"Really?" She asked, gone was the assertive woman who'd essentially placed me in bondage, in her place was a girl who thought she was in trouble with her mum.

"Really." I reiterated as she pulled back to make eye contact "Honestly it was pretty exciting I uh...I've never gone streaking before"

"You...liked it?" Emma looked at me, still confused, but her eyes seemed hopeful for the validation.

"A lot, yes. It was an accident, but you helped" I gently squeezed her arm, I had to get her out of that spiral, not because I was worried I'd lose an outlet, but I couldn't stand seeing my friend that worried "I'm okay"

Emma sniffled, then leaned in to hug me again.

Eventually she managed to calm down, I took a quick shower to get the sweat and grime off of me, then we had a quiet night after that. We didn't talk too much, but I think she appreciated me being there and seeming content. It had been an exciting night for the both of us, a moment of calm was appreciated.

Soon we both decided to turn in, I offered to take the guest room, but she insisted I take her bed and she'd use a sleeping bag. I however insisted that we may as well just share the bed, it's not like I had anything to hide. Besides, we're both girls...what are friends for but keeping eachother company, right?
