After running through the forest for what felt like hours, you could feel that your legs were about to collapse. But you had to keep going. You couldn't let them catch you.... Whatever they were.

You stopped for a second, leaning against an old Sakura tree to catch your breath. You heard a twig snap from behind you. They had caught up to you. They had found you. "Shit..." you muttered under your breath. You didn't know how but you had to get away somehow.

You looked around, trying to find anywhere you could hide. Anywhere would do, anywhere that wasn't here.

You saw a small dell in the trees and thought for a minute before deciding that this could possibly be your best getaway option. Maybe it would lead onto the main road and that way you could stop a car for help.

You sprinted in the direction of the clearing as if your life depended on it. Because actually, It did depend on it.

As you were attempting to make a run for it, you tripped on a tree stump, crashing face first into a vast pile of leaves. You felt someone aggressively grab your leg, they were holding you down so that you couldn't escape. You tried kicking them in the face, but it was no use, it seemed to have no effect on them whatsoever.

"You're not getting away this time kid..." the man's voice growled.

You felt a shiver go down your spine.

"Give me the money or you know that's going to happen kid. And you know damn well that you won't like it."

"I don't have the money!!! Let me go!!!"You screeched.

You heard a rustling in the trees ahead. Both you and the man looked towards the sound, unsure and cautious of what you were going to find.

The rustling came to a halt.

The man snapped out of the trance he was in and took out a pocket knife that you hadn't realised he was carrying.

"give me the fucking money, or I'll slice your leg. And you know damn well I'm capable of doing so." He huffed, glaring at you with a look of hate and murder.

"No! I can't! I.... I..." you whimpered, as tears began to form in your eyes.

"Suit yourself." The man said as he began to press the tip of the knife into your leg. Blood came gushing out and he brought the knife downwards, slicing your leg open.

You screeched a blood curdling scream, a scream louder than you had ever thought possible.

would this be how you died?

You felt faint, your head was spinning and your body was shaking like crazy.

"GOD. PLEASE. ANYONE. help me...." You pleased.

The rustling from the bushes had returned and someone or something had stepped out of them.

The figure stepped forward and drew out his swords.

"You bastard... hurting an innocent young teenager for no good reason... you disgust me..." a voice came, but you couldn't see who it was.

"Look... i can explain!" The man yelled.

"No, you really can't. You mess with my people then you are messing with me and trust me, you  really don't wanna be messing with me, buddy... for I AM THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN."

You felt your body go limp as you heard the swipe of a sword. The man that was after you had been killed.

You felt your body be picked up by someone, you were barely conscious but you could feel them there. You had lost a lot of blood.

"Stay with me kid..." a voice whispered into your ear.

"I'll protect you, okay? Sleep now."

You fainted in the strangers arms. Even though you didn't know who they were, you felt as if you could trust them with your life, and so you did. You let your body relax entirely and you fainted.
