Your head was spinning in immense pain after making contact with a tree just minutes before, and you cleared your way through the forest. you made sure to spare occasional glances back to your mortified friend whom was close behind.

they were gaining on you, and rather fast. it seemed almost inhuman how quick witted and agile those that hunted you all down were. as if they couldn't become any more terrifying, they had to have impossibly amazing abilities to help them get to you faster.
"up ahead, it's a dead end!" Marcey screamed. her booming voice up ahead had reached you in two ways. you were now petrified— or more so than before. you didn't know how you would escape this nightmare. you rapidly approached the clearing where a shaking Marcey stood in horror as she stared down at the ravine below.

you felt the wind whip your hair every which way as you plunged to the bottom rapidly. you were safe.

that was until a rough hand wrapped around your wrist and yanked you up mercilessly.
