"S-Save me!" Roxanne ran desperately, pushing her body to its limits as she feared for her life. Her eyes darted across the vast woods, searching for the apparition she had seen before she took to her heels. Then she saw it, the thing which relentlessly pursued her. The shadow resembled something she had never seen before, a man, a beast, she had no idea. The only certainty she had left was the fact that it was after her. "Someone... Someone help me!" She cried. Her voice was lost in the large expanse of dried barks and wilted branches. The snowy field of thorns and the cold winds of winter seemed to swallow her entire being, almost like it choked her. Her breathing became uneven as she panted due to exhaustion, yet she couldn't stop running. Doing so would mean her end. As she dashed through the cold and snowy path, she could hear it getting closer. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr" The sound sent shivers down her spine. She willed herself with every fiber of her being not to look behind her for the fear of what she might see. She could feel it's gaze on her, she could hear the sound of it's growl. Roxanne could sense her pursuer's nearing proximity as she fled for her life. Many questions raced through her mind, but she didn't have the luxury to answer any of them. The only thing at the forefront of her mind was survival. ~ Coming to her grandma's in the woods for Christmas after an heated argument with her mom, Roxanne has never thought she would experience something like this. "Mine" The voice roared.

'So…How did it go?" Rita raised her brows with a mischievous smile.


'What do you think? We just met with his father… Strange old man if you ask me." Roxanne commented.


'Hold on, you mean… You met John?" Rita asked with surprise


'Yeah. Oh, I forgot he's also your dad. Anyway, we…" Roxanne wanted to further explain, but Rita interrupted.


'Oh my, and how was Asher? Did he appear fine? Was he okay with the whole thing? It's surprising though… To think he would take you there…" Rita muttered.


'Really? What's so strange about that? I mean, it is strange seeing as I still haven't accepted him and he's already showing me to his family, but I suppose that's natural for him to do!" Roxanne stated.


'No, I don't mean that. You see, Asher has a very bad relationship with our father… One can say he hates him!" Rita revealed.


'For real?" Roxanne said with surprise.
