Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump. My breathing was heavy. My forehead was sweating. The darkness was closing in on me. I was finding it hard to actually breath.
I looked around in fear. This shouldn't be my life! I should be doing what any normal girl would do on a Friday night. Not this!
My curly black hair was matted with dust and grime from running through the rocks. My bright green eyes wild and bright. Skin pale with the cold.
I slipped slightly but regained my balance.
"Come out little one." The voice taunted. It was merely strolling along while I ran for my life. The voice seemed amused at my attempts to escape the mountain maze. It was very risking for me to do, but I made a small flickering flame in the palm off hand. I leaned against a rock wall. Pointy rocks dug into my back painfully. I felt a small tear trickle down my cheek.
I want to go home. I wiped it away. The man came closer. I was tired. I was empty. I was broken. I wanted to give in. But then Em's face popped into my mind. No. I will not give up. I will not give up on little innocent Emilia.
I pushed away from the wall with renewed energy. Determination and adrenaline filled my body. I was going to win this. I turned the corner and froze. Bright red eyes glittered in mischief.
"Well little Gifted. It seems as though you journey has come to the end." The voice sneered. Before I could move and protect myself I felt dark magic surrounding me. I felt suffocated. I was going to win! I kept saying to myself. But no matter how hard I willed to breathe, and no matter how hard I tried to stay awake, I couldn't. I gave into the dark. Letting it kill my energy. I wasn't going to win. I was going to die...
