Gasping for air as I run down the dirt road as fast as my legs can carry me. Every so often quickly turning my head to see if I'm safe yet. To my dismay there he is running faster then ever before, almost fully caught up to me. I shouldn't have looked back this one time though before I know it my foot snags on a tree branch in less than a second. I immediately fall to the ground struggling to free my foot from the branch. His tall dark figure cast a dark shadow above me and I take a big gulp preparing myself for the worst. The moon light gives just enough light to see the glint of his white teeth. Just as I'm about to scream he puts a cloth over my mouth and it all goes black.
