Don't Leave

Fear!

It is the one thing we all have in common. The truth is, some people are very good at hiding it, which is why I think not all individuals have fear within them. But that's not the truth, for fear runs deep inside our bones.

Throughout Madeline's life, she had always been the strong girl. Being the first child of her parents, she was forced by reality to work harder, to be stronger, especially since her brother was just ten years old.

Fear. She had felt it but had never acted so much on it. But not right now. Anyone who was in her shoes, even if it is the king or the governor, would feel this fear crawling on their skin.

This was a creature one would see in their dreams, never in reality. So you can imagine what it is like to come face to face with this creature.

"God, please," she whispered as she ran for her dear life. Her heart was thudding against her ear, every fiber of her being shaking in fear. But she kept running without looking back.
