"Run!
Run Jess, RUN!"
Jessica ran, tripping over her long dress. She could hear the sirens behind her, approaching closer and closer. She sprinted across the road and into the dense forest that loomed before her. It was daytime, but the clouds covered the sun and she blindly ran into the awaiting mass of plants. Twigs snapped at her face as she ran faster. She hastily wiped blood from a cut above her eye and continued to dash away. Plants continued to slap her face and blurred her vision. She suddenly tripped over a tree root, sprawling down a steep hill. Branches snapped at her face, creating stinging cuts. Dirt fell into her mouth as rocks pummeled her body. She stopped rolling and collapsed into a large pile of dead leaves, then got up and started to run again, slipping in the decaying matter. Her muscles were burning and she finally stopped to realize that there were no sirens. It was completely silent.
Jessica leaned against a tall tree and stopped to gather her breath. Her shallow breaths echoed loudly through the forest. Just as she was about to close her eyes to rest, she suddenly heard the crunching of leaves behind her. Alarmed, she swung around, grabbing a fallen tree branch as a weapon, to see a gun aimed at her chest.
