At All Cost!

I wanted to scream as loudly as I could expressing my joy, but dared not to. Suddenly I felt someone approaching me from behind. I pulled my dagger out and turned with my arm behind my back. I had no idea who it was so I spoke first. My words simply trailed away frightened when I realized I was facing the very person I was running away from.

The feeling that came over me sank my heart as I realized that perhaps he was right when he said; no matter where I went he would find me. No, I refused to believe that. Emotions aside, I needed to remain calm even though my blood was boiling and my senses were escaping to where I was struggling to keep my breath steady.

As adrenaline and fear rushed through my body, I restrained myself from leaping over and stabbing him. I didn't want to give him any power over me. So I remained unphased in his eyes, making it impossible for him to see me crumble.
