'Hey! Over here grab this!' I hear from the right of my shoulder. I keep trying to stand up but failing. It doesn't just not work but it also makes me go deeper in the mud. I feel a vine wrap around my swollen leg. I suddenly start moving on my stomach without even doing anything. Then a stone jabs me in the ribs. Looking around I notice I am now on land with two girls; one with a reddish side pony tail with a plait running through it. She is wearing a dress with a rip near her left pocket. Her brown dress matches the colour of her eyes. Around the waist is a belt holding a knife and a wallet. The other girl is tall and wears a skirt and a top which also matches the colour of her eyes. Her boots are black with leather buckles and her hair tied up in a quick bun. I then feel a hand on my shoulder as one sits next to me.
'We need to go!' She whispers signalling to the red head. I get up without a minute to loose.  In a flash the two girls are gone.. Just disappeared. Like a magician to the unlucky member of the audience. I run in a forward direction. I stopped. I couldn't do anything. I am not fast, nore strong. I was lost and there was nothing I could do. As I gasp for breath I see a river with some big rocks. Scratch... Scratch.. Scratch. I could feel the beast coming. And I was certainly not ready. Not ready.... For anything.
