The Noise.

It's been a few weeks and I haven't been bothered by the noise anymore, I'm walking by the river and I'm collecting some flowers to plant by the graves of my loved ones.
I hear a stick snap behind me and quickly turn around with my dagger, only to find a child standing there.
The child starts crying. "shhh shhh, don't cry. Please be quiet"
I'm trying to get her to be quiet so she doesn't alert anyone or anything.
I was too late. I can hear the sound starting and getting closer so I run, I leave the little girl behind and run.
I hide behind some bushes and watch. I watch as the little girl stands there crying, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly I see a shadow start to approach her, I grab my dagger in my hand and wait for the right moment to attack.
I'm waiting for the shadow to grab or attack her, what I didn't expect was a girl who looked around my age to come up to her and hug her.
She has big horns and seems to be a lot taller than me. She has white and red hair, yet her horns are as black as the night. She looks nice and for a moment I hesitate to go kill her.
No.
I have to kill her, she's a monster. Monsters don't belong in this world.
I start to sneak up behind her and raise my hand with my dagger in it, she must've heard me because suddenly both she and the little girl are gone; they disappeared.
" fuck." I mutter under my breath. I turn around to continue walking but I'm looking right at the sharp tip of an arrow, I look up to see who it is but I can't see because they have a black hood covering their head. " who are you and what do you want from me? " I ask, trying to look calm but they probably see right thru me. They probably see how nervous I am.

There is no answer to my question. I'm about to ask again but before I can finish my sentence I get struck on the back of my head, I fall and everything goes black.

I regain consciousness and look around; it takes me a moment to realize that I'm back in my hiding place which means someone knows where it is. I'm going to have to find a new place to live because this one has been compromised.

I pick up my headphones and put them on as I start to pack up my stuff, I can't stay here much longer.
I finish packing and leave my hiding place, I walk for hours and hours until I find a spot that's close enough to the store but also far away enough from my old one.

It's not as big as my old one but this will do, It's not like I have much of a choice anyways.
I start unpacking a few things and pick up my favorite book, I start to read and I don't notice that It's getting darker outside.

By the time I realize that It's dark outside It's probably 11 pm or something, I go to sleep and wake up the next morning to a loud bang. I jump up and look around " what the fuck was that? " I ask myself out loud.

I walk around but I find nothing. I start making myself some food and eat it, I go out on my daily walk and look for things like money, weapons and other things, while walking I found a gun, I think I'ts probably a few years old but it still has bullets in it, I take it back and clean it off looking at how it shines in the light. " nice find " I tell myself as I put the safety on. Hold on a second, is there blood on this gun..?

I start walking back to my hiding place but as I'm walking I can hear someone walking behind me, I check if there are any bullets in the gun but unfortunately, there aren't. "shit" I think to myself.

The person behind me stops walking and within a second someone has a knife to my throat.
