I close my eyes and breath in the rustic smelling scent of the forest, tall pine trees tower over me. I feel small, helpless and fragile. My heart pounds and so many thoughts rush through my mind at the same time, I can't handle it. A twig snaps. I start sprinting through the forest, jumping over logs and tumbling through branches. The creature is still chasing me. I scan all my surroundings not leaving anything out, looking for somewhere to hide. I look behind me in the corner of my eye, glowing red eyes stare back at me. Not taking their sight of me whilst running. I look ahead and bite down on my lip, pushing myself further, I don't think I've ever ran this fast before. My feet move swiftly and fast.
Until... BANG. I smack into a tree and collapse. I can't move, I lie there and close my eyes, hoping for the best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slowly peel my eyes open. Where ever I am smells like very strong cologne, 'men's calogne... I sit up, I'm on a bed. The blanket is made of soft silk. The walls of the room are made from logs and it appears I'm in some sort of cabin. On the beside table there is a gun, I freeze "where the hell am I?" I whisper to myself. The door creaks open and a young boy around 15, my age comes in. He pays no attention to me, he grabs a damp towel and turns to me. "Lie down." He says. His voice is strong and deep, but yet comforting... I look at him head to toe. He wears a grey hoodie and black jeans with vans, his hair is is dark brown and covers one of his eyes. The eye that I can see is a dark charcoal colour, beautiful...
He places the cloth over my forehead and I flinch. His touch sends shivers up my spine. I decide to break the silence.
"So um..." I huff "why am I here? And who are you?"
He continues to arrange the cloth on my head then finally speaks, "I'm Gabe, I found you lying out in the Forrest with several scratches on you." He breathes "so I thought maybe I should help you."
Scratches? I look down, oh my... My cheeks burn bright red and I feel the heat rising within me. I'm half naked, only in my underwear. Did he take my clothes off? I blush even more thinking about it. I've never been so embarrassed a cute stranger picks me up and takes me to his house, saving me.... And here I am naked right in front of him! He doesn't even look like he cares about my bare body.
"I don't understand..." I shake my head slowly and bite down on my lip "why would you save a worthless girl like me?"
He scans my facial expressions, he finishes arranging the cloth perfectly on my forehead then steps away. "Because your special, Anastasia."
What the hell!? He knows my name too? And what's up with the special thing? I'm so confused right now, it doesn't even seem real. I reach out to pinch my arm and attempt to wake myself from this weird dream but he catches my wrist and places it gently back down by my side.
I have so many questions to ask...
