Animus

Him

I ran and ran through the forest. I didn't bother to look back because I knew they were there. I hid behind a tree to catch my breath. I felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest from the fear. Oh fear, how that word struck me. I slowly looked from behind the tree to see if they were still there. There was no one to be seen. The silence got to me until someone grabbed my shoulder and spinned me around. I screamed in fear. It was a man with dark brown hair that stood up. He wore a white formal shirt with black pants. His eyes were a dark brown. He was very muscular and had a hell of a grip. "Who are you!" He beamed. He gripped my arm tight making it numb. "T-they're coming f-for me." I studdered. "Who are they?!" The mysterious man asked angrily. "They are called the others." I said softly. The man looked into my eyes still full of anger. "Show me your teeth." He commanded. I looked at him confused. "W-what?" I studdered. "Show me your teeth!" He yelled. I faked a smile to show him my teeth. "Okay." He said. "Why did you want to see my teeth?" I questioned. He let go of my arm. "To make sure you are not a vampire."

All of a sudden two of the others approached us. One of the men had long black hair and held chains. The other man was bald and held a sword. "You can't escape this time Anastasia." The man with the long hair said. I backed up behind the mysterious man. "Get her!" The bald head commanded.

The bald man took out a knife. He went to grab me but the mysterious man twisted his arm and kicked him, making him fall to the ground. The long haired man grabbed me and took out a knife and held it up to my neck. The mysterious man looked at him. "Let her go."

"Ha! Tell me why I should?" The other said. The mysterious man punched the other, which made the knife fall the ground. The mysterious man took the knife and killed the long haired man and the bald one.

I took a step back and looked into the mysterious man's eyes. "W-who a-are you?" I studdered. He looked down. "No one."
