Living with Death

Near death

I walked as fast as I could without trying to look afraid. I hummed a little tune and let myself relax.

After a couple minutes my heart rate slowed down and my walk became normal. Until I saw a shadow.

I stopped and looked around and saw the shadow run by again. I screamed "Harry! Is that you?"

I turned around to meet a guy with dark blue hair he said "who the hell is Harry?" I jumped back and ran away.

If he's in this forest and he's not afraid he surely isn't up to any good. I turned around to see if he was following me but to my luck he was gone.

I stopped running and turned back around to meet the guy again I screamed and fell. He slightly laughed as he crossed his arms.

As I went to get up I was pushed down to the ground, but I couldn't see anybody. I managed to say a quiet "help" before I was being dragged across the forest. The laughs became louder and louder and the voices in my head were pounding to get out the last thing I heard was the guy say "boys stop it." In a stern tone before my vision went black.

I woke up to guys face clearly to close to mine. I tried to back up but my head hit a tree. He looked down and said a soft "sorry". "It's okay." I said he looked up and smiled then looked back down

We sat there in silence until he asked "what's your name?" I looked up to meet his eyes they were green and I couldn't help but stare. He slightly coughed and I quickly said "oh uh I'm Asher."

"Wow that's a nice name, I'm Michael." He held out his hand and I immediately shook it. He smiled and looked down again. It was silent until Harry came back to mind I got up and said "well, it was nice meeting you Michael I hope we meet again. Sorry o have to go I need to find my friend."

"That Harry kid?" He asked. I turned around and said a quick "yup."

"Mind if I help you find him, I happen to know these woods pretty good." I smiled and nodded I mean what could go wrong he saved me from those demons.

We continued walking down the trail while Michael kept asking questions about Harry. Time flew by with him.

We came to sudden stop. I looked up to see a huge willow tree. I walked a little closer to it and screamed "Harry are you here?!" I heard nothing

"Look around it" Michael chipped in after my excessive screaming.

I slowly walked around it to find Harry on the ground. he was bleeding from his head and his wrist seemed broken.

I ran to him and shook him. He didn't move at all. I screamed for Michael and he came running by. "What's wro-" he stopped talking when he saw Harry on the floor.

"We have to get him out of here Michael." Tears started streaming do my face but I wiped them away quickly. Michael stood there surprised.

I rolled my eyes and put Harry's limp arm around me. I slowly got up and put my arm around him. I walked back around the tree and fell. He was to heavy to carry.

I got back up and started walking a little farther. I tripped over a tree root and fell again with Harry on top of me.

In the midst of trying not to drop Harry I twisted my ankle. I tried to hold in my scream but the pain Of my ankle and Harry's weight on me didn't help.

I pushed him of slowly and pushed him towards a tree. I tried to get up and walk but my ankle hurt to much.

I stood on the tree in front of Harry and sighed. How was I going to get out of here. I can barely pick myself up.

"Asher." I heard someone say. I looked around and saw Michael in the distance .

I couldn't have been him the voice was to low.

I looked at Harry and saw him looking at me he coughed and whispered "Asher please listen."

I hopped to him and sat on the ground next to him. "Harry are you okay. I'm going to get you back trust me okay I'll find a way I'm sorr-"

"it's okay Asher I promise just listen." His voice was faint and slurred.

"please don't trust him." He said

"Why? He helped me find you and saved me."

He looked up at me and sighed "Asher, no one in there right mind comes here."

Confused I asked "Harry but you came here?"

"After what happened things have been roaming through my head lately and plus I had to see the tree. Why was he here?" His voice was becoming lower with each word.

"I don't know why he came here maybe for the same reason as you."

"Love please, his father created the tree. He's been banished here. He's the devils h-."

He passed out. I looked at Michael who was smiling at the trees far behind.

"I picked up Harry and limped my way as far as I could.

The entrance was so close but I couldn't do it anymore. The world was becoming black and fuzzy and I couldn't stand up straight.

I fell to my knees and slowly dropped Harry.

I looked at the entrance and prayed someone would come help me.

I turned around to see Michael running towards me. Every time he got closer my head started to pound more and more.

I leaned into Harry's ear and whispered "I'm sorry I couldn't get you out." A tear streamed down my face as I held Harry to me.

The least I could do was hold him.

The world was getting darker and darker and my head was pounding harder and harder.

Michael was now in front of me. He whispered "oh Asher I'm sorry I let him do this to you."

I was able to let out a faint whisper "Michael, please just save Harry."

He started to cry "i'm sorry I can't help you."

I shook my head and put my head back on Harry's chest. I saw Michael get up and look down he screamed "damn you Jase!"

He looked at his hand and touched the ground and he was gone.

The pounding in my head stopped but voices filled them. I couldn't keep my eyes open much longer. The voices were much clearer now.

"I can't believe he saved this chick."
"She's probably something special"
" he probably just desperate he hasn't had some fun in a while"
"Shut up guys. The real question is did he cry over this"
"Right he never cries."
" I feel like she's different I feel it"
"Oh yeah isn't her mom the queen of hell oh she would be the heir.
"Through her he would become king right his brothers the real heir."
" maybe or he just wants to screw her she's quite pretty"
"Ugh your a demon"
"I think I know that don't a live down the street from Devils avenue.
"We need to kill her"
"No let's kill the guy he's probably already dead Michael needs the girl"
"Ugh alright."

I felt Harry being pulled away from me I held on as tight as I could but I couldn't hold on much longer.

The world was completely dark and the voices were getting lower.

"Damn it I can't touch him, it burns."

I smiled and and completely fell into silent darkness
