Walking in the Dark || cth fanfic

Prologue

My eyes start to water. Cold wind blows in my face. I can not find any form of stability . . . anywhere. I fall to my knees once again as the water pours out of my eyes. I am defeated.
I jump as I feel the touch of a warm hand on my bear shoulder. I don't move.

"Who are you?" my voice, shaky and dry, squeaks as I try to speak.

I hear the leaves crunch beneath as the creature sits next to me. I am still surrounded by darkness.

"Shhhh. Don't worry. I want to help you." It's a man, and by his voice, he sounds no older than I.

I slowly lift my weak, trembling hand up to my shoulder where his is still resting. I place my hand on top of his giving him the queue that I will let him help me. Putting my full trust in a stranger wasn't something I did very often. But I needed help.

"Come on. Let's get you to my place. it's going to start raining!" he says.

I ask, "Who are you?"

"I'm Calum," he says, "What's your name?"

"My name's Bently." I respond. I'm still trembling.

Soon enough we get to what I assume to be his house...apartment...which ever it is. It's still dark.
