I feel empty, I feel cold, I can see nothing and I can hear nothing, there is nothing. I try to move but I cant, I try to talk but no sound comes out. I can feel the presence of something in the space, "hello?" I ask, this time I can hear my voice, I hear movement, I turn around, "who is there?", the sounds are louder coming up from behind me. I turn trying to catch a glimpse of what is there, but it moves out of my view.

A hand is placed on my shoulder, I freeze, something whispers in my ear, "begin". Suddenly my head feels like it is about in implode on itself, there are sharp stabbing pains pummeling my head, I fall to the ground almost unconscious from the pain. I fall to the ground, I can hear a loud whistling noise, and my heart beat slowing, what is going on. I black out.

I shoot up, my eyes patchy from the still slightly lingering headache. My breathing is heavy and I can feel cold sweat all over my body, I place my hand on the ground to get up, It is cold. I look around, there is nothing but grey trees and snow, my fingers are numb, a crisp breeze passes bye making me shiver. as I stand up, I notice that my feet are not as cold, I look down, I have boots, where did I get these. As I take a better look around, I realise that I have no idea how I got here, or where I came from, I don't even remember wearing these clothes, and if I did, I would have some gloves and some long sleeves.

As I walk I start to notice a burning sensation on my right arm, I look down at it, It is bleeding. I start to panic, there is blood all over my lower arm, how did I not notice this before, I look around in hope to find something to stop the blood with, I spot some nearby bushes, they are dried out and almost dead but it is better than nothing, I gather some fresh snow in attempt to ease the burning and once I have wiped off the excess blood I quickly wrap it in some leaves. 

It has been a few hours since I woke up, and there is no sign of anyone or anything anywhere, I feel alone and lost, my legs are wobbly and I am hungry. the sun is beginning to set and the cold air is getting even colder, My mouth is dry and my head is thumping, I sit down at the base of a nearby tree, snow begins to fall, covering the snow with even more fresh snow. silence falls over the land making me feel uneasy. I begin to think that I may never escape this forest, what if I die here.
