I ran as fast as I could through the woods. As I ran I could hear them yelling for me.
"Shay!"
"Shay!"
I didn't know who they were, but they never stopped yelling my name. My heart was pounding so hard that I thought it would come out of my chest. My skin was drenched in sweet and what looked to be blood, but whose blood I didn't know. My hair flew behind me as I ran, it was a tangled mess, twigs and leaves tangled into it.
As I ran I came to a clearing, a meadow. Only a few feet in I decided to look back, losing my balance and falling over some sticks. When I stood there was a man in all black with silver eyes. But this time those silver eyes turn red, pulling you into their depths. Sinking into those now red eyes, I start to see a fire but not just a fire, there are people in the fire and you can see them screaming as they burned alive. I snap out if and try to run but I'm grabbed and pulled into darkness. I scream, but the scream seems louder this time. I open my eyes.

"Shay! Are you alright?" Mr. Cameron asks.
I am shocked that I had fallen asleep in class.
"Yes, sir I'm fine," I say quietly. I didn't want to admit I had fallen asleep in class. I straighten myself in my seat, looking around at the rest of my class. The whole class is now staring at me instead of they're homework. Some snickering, others pointing.
"What a freak!"
"She should just die!"
"Why is she even here?" they said.
It always hurt, I mean I knew they didn't like me, I just never understood why. It was the same with my family.
I just can't wait for the day to get out of this place and never return.
