Hello everyone!  I'm back, and I've posted another chapter. This is where things start to get serious, and I'm going to start taking this story more seriously.  I'm gonna be in the zone and I'm starting to type faster, and make stories quicker. Sometimes it doesn't save and it's a struggle so I'll try to do less small updates to the draft and more like finishing a story in two writing sessions. Enough chatting, onto the story!

Tw: topics of death ☠️ 

//———————————————————————————-//

I woke up late at night, why am I up this early? I slowly sat up as I struggled to keep my eyes open, I slapped myself on the cheek and I started to slowly wake up, my eyelids lifting.

my mom was usually up early and was the one to wake me up, it's strange she didn't even seem home.

I used my hands to support myself and stood up, I slowly walked to my door and opened it, taking steps out of my door. I stepped outside and started to search and see if my mom was near, 

It was strange because she wasn't in sight, my eyes scanned around .

She usually didn't leave without telling me, i decided to walk around to get a further look. As I walked, with each step I inched closer to The forest, I started to hear sounds of the leaves rustling against eachother, it was probably the wind. I wouldn't find anything, I knew that. But, I still decided to look anyways.

Looking over, I didn't see anything. But I was still curious, the sounds started to get louder, or, was something getting closer?..

"Is..anyone-anything there?"

"Maybe it's an animal." I murmured to myself. "It probably is.."

I walked over to the bushes and trees, and I scooted a branch out of the way.

... "right, as expected. Nothing is here."..

"I don't what what I'm thinking, it's so late and the sun isn't even near to rising.."

"I should just get back Hom-"

Something, or- someone..? had grabbed me from behind, and it pulled me into the hazy path of the dark forest, 

Something clicked in my mind and I knew whatever was there wanted to hurt me, gosh. I'm such a fool..

I started to squirm away from its grasp,

 I fastly ran away, slowly getting exhausted, but I pushed through..

I might've hurt my ankle at some point.. it started to throb as I got more and more exhausted, my whole leg was sore and I knew it was bleeding, my sandals and my socks were ripped and the sandal has started to fall apart. 

Before I knew it, the broken sandal slipped off my foot.. my ripped socks allowing my foot to get peirced by sharp peices of broken off bark, along with small pieces of broken off stone or pebbles.

It hurt horribly, and I winced out. My eyes filling with tears.

I heard a low grunt from behind me, the monster chasing me must've tripped or been stopped for at least a second, but.. the bad thing was.. I knew it was tailing me. It was close and probably huge.. probably barely even stopped. 

I was only 17 back then. 

Just like how I remember running, my muscle started to tense up.. increasingly Getting tired.

My feet press against the rough forest dirt as I run, avoiding the trees.  heavy footsteps making sounds that pat against the heavy breathing

"Haahh.. I have to..get..a-A..way.."

Each breath drained your energy as you tried to get away.

At this point I was sweating bullets, sweat droplets flew down my neck, forehead, and arms. The air was humid and errie, my sweat was thick and my hair stuck to my body..

My (h/c) was usually (h/tx) (**tx means texture**) but, right now it was slightly getting greasy..

with each step it felt like my legs just strained even more, every muscle throbbed as time passed.

Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't plant my feet and I fell to the ground, hunched over a log that fallen down, originally being a tree. The dirt was rough and had pebbles, rocks, glass shards, and broken off wood/bark.

Whatever had been chasing you was tailing you and getting closer by the second..

"N-No.." I barely could squeal that out, my voice was weak and shaky.

I desperately tried to crawl away from the monster that had been chasing me. I took my hands and crawled,  my hands and knees had blood, adding on to  numerous cuts on them from the sharp pieces of bark and rocks that pierced my skin, the rough dirt sticking to me because of my sweat and blood. I had an exhausted expression, I was too tired to speak. My energy was all put into running and moving non-stop.

.........

Drops of sweat fell off my face, my whole body shook.  My tense muscles Not only was I straining myself, but the forest was eerie, and humid.

My eyes started to tear up. The sounds of the wind and rain pouring onto leaves filled my ears sending shivers down my spine, Was this it? Am I going to die here? To a filthy monster..?'

I could feel it, it was at my feet..

I was at the verge of tears, my eyelids felt heavy.. I was tired, upset, out of breath, each muscle was tense and throbbed with each movement. It hurt so much, I might as well die now.

But, I didn't have the energy to sob, to break out in tears. I laid there motionless, I gave in and my heavy eyelids fluttered shut. I was winded out. I wasn't in denial anymore, I'm dying here.

Rain poured through the maze of leaves surrounded by thick trees, rain droplets fell in my face. My eyelids barely lifted and my pupils weakly moved, I wasn't shaking anymore. I was loosing blood, my skin was filthy and had scabs, cuts, scars, etc. dirt and bark stuck to me like glue.

The rain droplets slowly dripped onto my cheek.

'The demon wasn't there anymore, but. What do I do?'

I loved the rain, but not this time.

Not this time.

I felt myself drifting away, my eyelids closed slowly

I'm tired.

Word count: 1011.

I ABSOLUTELY balled out writing today.

I don't usually have motivation but I've started to improve.

I'm not good at writing y/n type stories where you pick your own outfits, skin colors, hair colors, you know what I mean. So don't expect amazing artwork. Never underestimate writers fr.

I might make another part today so, you can put this in a reading list if you want to keep updated, it would also make me happy to know that someone likes my story. 

See you next time!
