   Alyssa could hear the sound of cars close by, along with the steady beat of her heart racing. Something was chasing her, but what? She wondered. Why was she running? What was going on? Alyssa looks around and makes out a shadow of a boy in the thicket of trees and darkness, panting and sweating buckets shortly behind her.  The boy has striking features. Bright green eyes to match his defined jawline, freckles perfectly placed along his cheeks. His dark dripping hair falls perfectly over his this eyebrows. He has a fierce look in his eyes. Alyssa keeps running for what seems like hours, but suddenly she stumbles. The boy is closing in on her. 

  "I finally..." He takes a break to breathe. "I finally got you. No one... Can save you... now." The boy takes a moment to wipe some sweat away with his sleeve.

   Alyssa studies the boy for a moment. Then, his features start to morph in a freakish way. His beautiful colored eyes are slowly becoming darker until they're black, his freckles growing until they cover his entire face. He's becoming pale, scars start to form along this neck, forehead, chin, everywhere. To Alyssa's horror, the scars start to open. Alyssa whimpers.

  "Who are you?" She says in astonishment. She can feel tears slowly trickle down her face.

   The boy stands above her, not saying a word. He stays like this for several minutes. Suddenly, he waves his hand and Alyssa is no longer on the ground beneath him, but laying against the tree to his side. The boy waves his hand again. This time, a large rock attacks Alyssa's right temple. Alyssa is feeling hazy. Now laying on her side, all she can see is the boy's black boots covered in a layer of mud from the previous race through the forest, slowly making their way toward Alyssa. The last thing Alyssa remembers is the black boots. Black boots. Black boots.
