Ruling the Impossible

1. Running away

As I run the grass licks at my ankles and the wind brushes my hair back out of my face. Could they still be on my case? I mean I left a while ago, I haven't stopped running since I left the house. I keep scanning the area as I run, afraid they will just jump out and any second and grab me. I think I have been running for 2 hours now. My legs ache, throbbing from adrenaline. All my breaths wheeze as they exit my mouth but I ignore it. I can't stop yet, not until I am sure. Sure that I am out of their reach. I focus on the log in front of me, how will I get over that? I can't risk slowing down. The branch above it looks sturdy enough to hold onto. At the last minute I leap, bending my knees with force that burns like my legs are rubbing together causing hot friction. I reach for the branch pulling my legs up to get as much height as possible and just, grab it. I heave my legs forward to give me force. Then one hand slips off and I have to let go or I will swing back and loose momentum, so I let go. I close my eyes as I fall. I really hope I have enough momentum to land me over this log, or else... I will probably land awkwardly on it and break my leg and it will all be over, they will find me. The fear prickles inside me at the thought. My legs slam into the ground just as I open my eyes. Yes! I did it!! I keep running with pride in my heart.

As I dodge the flora and fauna around me, the environment around me changes and I keep my feet moving. Now I stare at tree stumps instead of trees. They are all around me, crowding the ground with fresh light coloured circles. Rings and rings reaching into what would have been the heart of the tree. There is something odd about them, something reflects the light and shines in my face. Now it's gone. Hmmmm. It's probably nothing. I see the horizon, the sun is setting. I see colours I have never seen before, a new sunset. It's beauty sweeps through me making my heart soften like melting butter, warm and sleek. I am suddenly extra tired and my feet ache. All I want to do is stop rest my feet, and fall asleep, watching this beautiful scene. But I can't, not yet.

Now my breaths are so heavy it feels like I am choking them out. I have to stop. They must have left me alone by now. But then again I am the leader's daughter. My feet come to a stumbling halt and I look down at my shaky legs, my hands are on my knees as I catch my breath. Suddenly, a silver cylinder pops out of a stump towards me, startling me. Bang! Pain rushes through my body making me fit with hurt. The pain feels like electricity spreading though every little fibre in my body, racing, hurrying and searing everywhere it goes. Then my head feels heavy, my brain, fuzzy and dizzy. Everything goes black.
