The Wanderer

Chapter 13

I paced back and fourth for a little while trying not to wander too far. I was ridiculously paranoid and I knew it. I just couldn't help but jump at the slightest sounds. A squirrel running through the woods even the wind blowing gently through the trees.

I was slowly breaking down. I cried out till I couldn't cry anymore. I continued to run up to the "barrier" keeping me in the woods, and continued being pushed away from it. I felt like I should cry more but then I find I have no tears left. Worst of all my arm started bleeding again! Okay that was my fault I was freaking out and started trying to break the "barrier".

Eventually I gave up and sat back against a tree and I guess fell asleep.

•••••• (hehe ohh dots)

The next thing I remembered was being shaken. Now personally I flipped. I completely freaked out. I mean what would you do in my situation? I don't think anyone wouldn't freak.

But ya I was being shaken by a hazy figure and there was a voice. I couldn't understand what it was saying but it was a deeper voice. Then water was dumped on my face. Ya my "attacker" dumped water on my face.

I jumped up screaming and then fell right back down. The hazy figure wasn't there any more. Then I realized there was still water falling on my face. Yup it was pouring down rain. I was trapped in the woods all alone and it was raining. Could my situation get any worse?

•••••

I spoke too soon the tree not 15 yards from he one I had been sitting under was struck by lightning. There was a bright flash and then the tree was burning and then there was the thunder. It sounded as if the tree had exploded. I was scared and dizzy then I saw him standing in the fire of the tree. The faceless man was standing less than 15 yards from me and I couldn't do anything but run.
