A Face That Can't Be Placed

I

I walked normally alone and I never heard footsteps till now.

I didn't glance back at all but continued in my path home. Soon the footsteps began to quicken so mine did too.

I kept trying to not hear them but soon they stopped with mine.

I was pushing back as much as I could. I was trying so much to get away from the person holding me.

"Let me go" I screamed.

But an animal came into view.

"Come on sweetheart" a man said and reached for my shirt till he was pushed down by the animal.

A lion towered over him as he trembled.

It growled and he opened his mouth for a scream but it didn't come out.

It was about to bite him but I made a noise and it looked at me. I began to tremble and glanced both sides of me.

It approached me and the man ran as fast as he could. I backed away till I was at a pole.

A car drove by and when I looked back where the lion was there was a boy.

He looked straight at me and helped me up.

When I was this close to him I recognize him from school. But soon I felt my blood flow stop like it usually does and fainted.
