prologue

I run.

I run away from him.

Into a forest.

In the dead of night.

Perfectly matching with a bloody moon.

It has a soft glow that hangs in the dark.

The same bloody moon that was there on the night he was born years ago.

It also irritates my eyes.

I don't look back, I keep pushing forward.

Not even taking a single breath.

"I know your out there." I can hear his voice echoing through the forest.

It sounds delighted.

But I ignore it.

But I also know he isn't close enough.

Close enough for me to stop for a minute to catch my breath and find a way to hide from him before its too late.

I then realize I am surrounded by trees.

I find one near me that was big and tall enough.

I quickly climb up as his footsteps are creeping closer.

I am high above the ground and I can see him.

His white,pale,skin glows with the red light.

His wicked grin frightening me.

How did I even end up here?

With him?

I can see he's turning his head around in every direction.

Looking for me.

I breathe the breath I was holding in when he moves away.

But still near.

Near enough that if he turns his head the slightest, he'll see me.

I then hear a crack.

Like a soft crack before something breaks.

I realize that the branch I am sitting on is lowering me down.

The branch is about to break.

No.

I try looking for a branch that I can hop on quickly, but the branch breaks and I fall down with it.

My hope also crashing down.
