~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{Christina's POV}
I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting them to the darkness. Sitting up, I felt a sharp pain shooting through my lower back. My hand flung back and I winced in pain as I applied pressure to my injury. To my surprise, I felt my palm become wet along with the back of my shirt. I looked at my hand to find it covered in blood. Suddenly I felt an excruciatingly sharp pain through my back and collapsed back down onto the dirt.

The wound in my back throbbed constantly as I held it to stop the bleeding and I stood up.

Then- WHOOSH - a knife barely misses my face. Who is that? I thought as another stab went right for my neck. I quickly blocked the swing with my arm and used all my strength to push the person off me. I had been recently taking martial arts lessons so I knew some self defense. Luckily I was able to block the knife that time, but I was not as lucky the next.

I breathed in sharply as the knife pierced my abdomen. Then standing there, frozen in place, looking me right in the eyes was a boy, not much older than me, wearing a dark cloak with a hood covering half of his face. I felt the knife slowly pull out of my gut as I fell to my knees. What just happened? I lay there in the dirt staring up at the trees, unable to move, drawing in breaths only to cause more pain. I couldn't touch my wound. It hurt too much. So I knew I'd bleed out. I shivered uncomfortably, wishing for warmth. I was not sure how much time had passed, but I was quickly losing blood. Am I dying? I thought. This is how I go: murdered. Alone. Lost. This is how I end my story. Why now? Why like this? People say that your life flashes before your eyes. I can tell you that's true. I saw my family, "Mom...Dad," I called for them out loud. My friends, "Danny... Hanna... Carson... Aliyah- Aliyah, happy birthday. I-I'm so sorry," I couldn't hold back my tears as I began bawling causing myself even more pain. No. Please.

As I drew my last breaths, I heard something. Like someone was saying my name. It grew louder and louder.

"Christina?!"
"Chrissy, where are you?"
"Is that?- CHRISTINA!"

I felt a hand underneath my head. I'm not alone. I used my last bursts of energy to crack a smile before drawing in one last breath.
Goodbye.
