Apart

Daisy

Black clouds are covering the sky, I can hear the thunder from above and cooler-than-ice wind coming from all directions, and crows are flying everywhere and nowhere with their distressing warble. There is no one in sight I run as fast as I can I have no sense of direction at the moment then I hear a voice I have listened to that voice before but I cannot figure out where "You can never outrun me" my hearting is pounding as if a group of lions are chasing me I stood at that spot and look everywhere but I am not able to figure out where is that voice coming from. I am in the middle of the woods somehow standing at one particular area where the trees are standing tall surrounding me, I cry for help but no one is listening. "I am coming for you" I heard that voice again but it seemed like it was coming from behind so I ran in the opposite direction "You know what I am going to do if I catch you" This time the voice came from where I was running to. "I am going to punish you" I didn't understand what this man wanted from me "Why don't you come forward and show your face" I screamed but in my heart, I knew if he came forward I was pretty sure I was going to pee in my pants. "Awww too feisty now are we?" Another vice but it felt like it came from the left-hand side, I didn't run I just kept looking in the direction and was moving slower than a turtle on the right so I could escape, "You think you are smart don't you?" I turn back how can this guy be all around the place in any direction I go he is there when vividly I can hear him from the opposite end. 

Rain starts to pour down like someone has opened a tap, the clouds, winds, and thunder were hard enough to make me see anything in front of me but now this is making it even harder, but if I can't see anything then probably this man can't too. I took it as my window of opportunity and ran, I ran for half an hour but this forest felt like acres and acres of land when I could hear cars' horns but couldn't reach them, I could not give up so easily I ran again gratefully inside in the forest the huge trees are forestalling me from getting drenched and I can see the path where I am going, oh no that means he can too. "You are too slow" I hear the voice again coming from forward down I turn around and run, I look down and my clothes are half torn and my hands have rope marks on them, did he have me and I escape somehow? Is that why he is such a lunatic? 

I saw a puddle I was about to jump but then I saw my reflection on it, my face had tiny little scratches on it, my neck had a print of a hand like someone had strangled me, and my forehead had a straight cut till my ears. OH MY GOD what the hell is all this and why can't I remember any of it, why would he do that to me or anyone else for that matter I know that I have been nice to everyone including my crazy ex-girlfriend and her friend then why, before I could see more of me I hear another voice "I can see you" I hear his footsteps now I can feel my heart is going to explode I take a deep breath and run. All I can do in this moment is run as fast as possible I am sure somewhere the forest has to end or some hunters can help me from this devil. 

I trip on the roots of the trees, and my blood is flowing down like a waterfall, "why does this have to happen now?" I talk to myself I am in pain I try to get up but fell down flat on my flat (great now I am covered in mud) I noticed the rain stopped unfortunately the wind hadn't, my whole body is freezing cold my ankle is in agony the pain is unbearable "Aww did you fall" every time I hear him it creeps me out but if I stop now then he will catch me and god knows what will he do to me. One of the sleeves is still attached to my top so I tear it down and wrap it around my ankle I attempt to stand and I smile because even though I can still feel the pain it is bearable now I start to move, yes I said move thanks to my injury I am to able to run but to limp. I feel every leave, root, and drop of water on my ankle but I can't stop now I should not stop. "Nice touch with the sleeves" Here he is again but I am not turning back or responding to him in any way possible my inner voice has something to say "Soon there will be an anklet designed by the government on you too, we'll talk then" I smirk with my savage inner voice even in times like this it has not showed any mercy on him.
