I raced through the darkness, dodging trees as the wind whipped at my face. I heard a whooshing sound followed by a ghostly laugh and turned my head slightly to see a figure, silhouetted by the moonlight,it had two piercing gold eyes. I knew exactly what it was, it was the thing I was running from, it was... The Shadow.
It's hand - suddenly solidified - reached out to grab me! I ran faster, faster than i thought possible, yet still it kept up. It was behind me now, and I felt its hand brush against my back. I let out a blood-curdling scream as the chill of its touch reached me. I felt myself bleed where it had touched me, reminding me that whatever it touched, it cut. Another cruel fact about the immortal creature intent on hunting me down.
I reached a break in the trees and sprinted along the flat ground. I looked over my shoulder to see Scarlett, my only family member remaining, launch herself at the shadow. I cried out as it cut her open with merely a flick of its hand. I turned back tears running down my cheeks as I looked forward. And stopped dead in my tracks. I had finally reached the end of line, or in my case...
The cliff.
