She ran.

"Run, Run, RUN!!"

Someone yelled hoarsely. Four people running behind her, and four in front. Pain filled her, Everything was sore. Her throat raw,  and her whole body burning. They were running through trees and everywhere she looked were more trees. Trees, Trees, Trees, Trees, until they became a blur. Then suddenly a pain exploded in her head.

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!"

She screamed. It ripped her apart, or seemed like it. She then tripped. Over a root maybe. She looked down and saw blood; Blood flowing from a body. The object of what she tripped over. The relief of not running anymore and the the blood not coming from her was suddenly replaced with panic. She screamed until she couldn't do so anymore.

"PEZ!!!"

A voice screeched. Tears streamed down her face as she looked around.

"P-Pez?"

She half mouthed and half said her first word with a hoarse voice. An older boy ran to the body in front of her and kneeled, holding the body.

"PEZ, PEZ NO!!!"

He sobbed, his eyes full of pain. She looked at Pez. A small little boy, with a face that had so much to learn. So much to look forward to in life.

"It wasn't his time!!!!"

Another person yelled. She looked around her at the people stepping out of the shadows. Still on her knees, she stood up wobbily and looked at her surroundings past the people. She was no longer in a forest, running through trees. She was in a small village. A small little fire burning and people coming out of small tents, curious as to what was going on.

'What was going on?' She wondered. 'Who am I?' She again looked in thd faces of the people that had now noticed her. Their faces were filled with anger, rage, and saddness.

"KILL HER!" An angry man yelled. "N-No!!"

She said shakily as everyone started grabbing sticks and other random objects and dipped them in the fire. Flames lapped happily at the wood as they started catching fire.

'Torches..'

She remembered the word. The people started running towards her manically, laughing like they were crazy.

"WAIT!!" She screamed. "I have not done anything!!"

The looks on their faces were muderous. Dangerous. She whipped around and did the only thing she knew how to do: She ran.
