I keep running heavy footsteps thudding behind me. Coming closer and closer. I push my tiny body as much as I can. Running barefoot the leaves and twigs were cutting my sole slowing me down. The pain was the reminder of the sheer cruelty that I was alive and running from those monsters that brutly murdered them.

 My parents. A pain as sharp as a needle pierced my heart as a tear slid down my cheek. The shock haven't settled fully yet. Momentarily pushing my thoughts aside I focused  on my steps. The leaves blocking my face ad the roots making me trip. They were very closed behind. I could feel the heavy vibrations from their running.

I will not be able to outrun them. As the thought crosses my mind I heavily trip on the root, stubbing my toe and falling face first into the mud. Before my body touches the ground a hand grips my upper arm so hard that it was enough to leave bruises and yanks me up and turns my body to face him. I glance to look at him and my breathe catches in my throat.

Ugly. Disgusting. Horrible. It was truly a face of a monster.. and something inhuman. Black robes flew from his shoulder down his legs and floated around as if the wind was holding it up. His face was pale as a sheet and his eyes.. his eyes a pale blue bulging out of his socket. Not the pretty blue that Cinderella wears on her ball but the one that we see in a still lake on a summer day. Lifeless. Dead. I couldn't feel any emotions from him.

Now gripping my forearms with both hands the monster lifts my body up. I start trashing and screaming hysterically. Hoping someone would hear my screams. Suddenly the monster slaps me, the vibration from the slap echoing in my head. Soon I feel my consciousness slipping away. Before closing my eyes I see a light rising behind the monster. He suddenly drops me and a deep growl resonates from him.

I fall with a thud. My back hitting a stone and before I drift into oblivion I feel the monster whisper in a cold voice,"Soon my angel Soon." I feel a shiver pass down my body as I realise that it came from inside my head.
