"GO AWAY!" I shouted as I sprinted across the road, and leaped over a fence nearby to a short tunnel and rolled head first down a steep hill with crinkled and dead leaves scattered across the grass. I started to feel dizzy, but I finally stopped out of a sudden halt as I felt my forehead smack against a thick and bristly tree. I sat there in shock, and held my forehead to keep blood from spilling out. The crazy clown I had just seen, terrorising me was no longer my main priority right now and I had completely forgot about it. I sat with the tree between my legs and sniffed a little, whilst scouting out the area I was in with my eyes. The air was thick and warm what made me a little uneasy as I hated scorching hot weather.

After a while of coming to my senses and scouting out every single detail of where I was, I figured I was at the barrens. I stood up and looked down at my white plimsolls with narrow eyes, to see they where now covered in sticky wet mud and leaves.

"Great." I sighed as I started to wander around. I saw a little dam made out of rocks and sticks what interested me a little, I also saw a sewer what I was definitely not going to explore anytime soon. I walked over to the side of what looked like a cliff, I poked my head over the edge to see a long drop and calm rippling water at the bottom.

I didn't spend alot of time at the barrens so I didn't know what it looked like in detail, but It seemed quite peaceful and relaxing. Obviously when no one was there though. I lifted my head up and looked into the distance of which was just tall trees and other sewage pipes. I decided to rest a little and sit down on a small log, although I had probably just done 15 minutes of resting before beside that tree. I was completely taken out of my thoughts and focused on the birds chirping, wind flowing and a boy stumbling..- wait what? I jumped to my feet and saw a short chubby looking child tripping over rocks and running down the stream, as I heard multiple screams in the background. I was startled but intruded, so I decided to follow the fat kid to see what he was upto.

"HEY!" I shouted as I ran after him, as I also tripped over little stones in the warmish water but kept to my feet.

"NO NO NO!" He screamed as he sprinted, turning his head around to face me and back around in the direction he was heading. I saw a bunch of different emotions in his face which where so many I couldn't list them all, but that just made me even more curious so I didn't stop chasing him.

We must've been running for almost almost 3 minutes before I saw the fat kid turn a corner, I followed and I was greeted by a group of people sitting on rocks and chatting to the boy. I instantly stopped in my tracks and stared at them. They stared back at me before a short boy with big glasses, what gave him a bug-eyed appearance, screamed at me and started flinging rocks in my direction.

"AYE- WHAT THE F- OW!" I screamed as I fell over in the water and squealed as rocks hit every part of my body. I had no idea what was going on until the rock throwing had stopped, and they'd left. I sat in the warm water, still in shock and wide eyed as I licked the inside of my lip to taste blood.

"Bitches." I mumbled under my breath, as I held my forehead what was still bleeding and sucking on the inside of my lip. I looked around to see where I had ended up, but I had completely no idea.

I panicked as I got to my feet to find out I was lost in the wilderness alone.

"I'm too young to die!" I screamed as I ran back up the stream to try and re-trace my tracks. I ran around looking everywhere to try and find the way back to the barrens, but my mind had completely forgotten.

With all hope gone, I sat down onto a rock and put my head in my hands and began to sulk. What if I never see my friends or family again? What if no one would find me? What if everyone would forget about me? My mind raced with so many questions, before I lifted my head back up to see a blond haired boy walking around in the distance. My very first instinct was to run upto him and ask where I was, but he looked like he was looking for something. He also looked very familiar.. but I couldn't make it out until I realised I was already running in his direction.
