Pursued

I

A.N.-This is my first story! I have a whopping one follower so it'll probably get no reads. But give it a shot (: it'll be better than this and the chapters will get longer, I'm still deciding whether or not to make it a short story or a full-blown "novel".

Just when I thought I had a moment to catch my breath..

No.

The chase would go on. I would continue running and running, fearing the dark figure that would capture me if I paused, even for a moment.

I'd had this dream before. The relentless pursuer, the seemingly endless layout of trees, dimly lit by the crescent of the moon. All ending in the same result..

No matter which path I take, whichever direction I turn, however hard I try.. the darkness finds me. As my body goes numb, my mind slowly starts to do the same.

I can't think. Around me there is only silence, yet there's so many sounds echoing through the emptiness.

I find myself enthralled by the darkness, threatening yet pleasing.

I hear my shoes crushing the twigs and leaves as I run, my heavy breathing, and the ominous, indescribable sound of the darkness.

Its getting closer. I can feel it. I push myself to sprint faster, but my attempts are useless. It hisses at the tips of my hair that's pushed back by the wind. I sense it opening, preparing to swallow me whole.

Do I dare look back? I can't help but wonder..

What lay beyond the darkness?

I felt as if I would never know.

Then my alarm buzzes.
