Hunted

Chapter 3

Audra's P.O.V. 

I opened my eyes and noticed that it was still dark out, but instead of my bed I was lying on grass. The grass also had some dew on it from how close a leaf was to my face and I slowly got up from the ground. 

I was in the clothes that I wore to the store yesterday, except the only difference was that I was in the middle of the forest at night. There was a big lake in front of me, and it was beautiful, but I also had no idea where I was. I wasn't sure how far away I was from home or how I even got out here. 

I walked around, trying to find my surroundings and decide which way to start walking home. The forest almost seemed to have it's own enhancement surrounding it, but at the same time it almost had a dangerous feeling in it. 

"You know you are very beautiful when you look lost," a voice behind me said. I twirled around and stood my ground while I recognized that voice. 

"What the hell did you do in the store? And how did you take me from my home?" I questioned,  not liking that this guy was now following, stalking, and kidnapping me wherever I am. He held up his hands while sending me a grin. 

"You really aren't her, are you?" he questioned while eying me up and down. He didn't have a happy expression on his face.

"That girl you keep talking about? Not really," I replied, somewhat understanding why that girl would have ran away from this maniac. This guy is a stalker and a complete lunatic, I don't blame her for running away when she did, it was probably to get away from this guy. 

"You better make that clear when other people start mistaking you for her also" he commented while walking closer to the lake. I wasn't sure what his motives were, but at the same time I wasn't trusting him or going anywhere near him. 

"Other people?" I questioned, not sure why that sounded like such a bad thing coming out of my mouth. 

"I am not the only one looking for Hazel," he commented while turning to look at me and send me a smirk. I wasn't sure how that affected me because I wasn't this Hazel girl, but this crazy guy seemed to think that I was Hazel.  

"Why did you kidnap me?" I questioned while staying in my spot while the guy put his hands behind his back and stared into the water. 

"Oh I didn't kidnap you, but my powers allowed me to bring you here while you were asleep in your bed," the guy stated. 

"Powers?" I asked while looking at him like he was really crazy. There are no such things as people having powers. 

"You really are clueless for someone that doesn't have the same aura as humans," the guy continued to talk. I knew not to believe his lies, I knew where I grew up from and that I had never once ventured this far into the forest. There was no such thing as magic or powers. 

"I am human," I said with determination, not wanting to back down or even believe this guys lies and false tales. 

"And I appear human," the man said while smirking at me. My eyes widened while I turned around and started to run, but I didn't get very far before a giant water snake stopped me from running. I screamed and fell on my butt while trying to find a way out of this. I tried hitting my head to wake myself up and praying that this was all a dream, but nothing was working for me. 

"I am not trying to scare you Audra, only inform you that you belong in the world I live in, not where you are now," he said from right behind me. I felt his hands go under my arms and quickly lift me up. I shoved his hands away and took a few steps away from him before I was hissed at again. 

"Like hell I do," I seethed out between my teeth, getting angrier and angrier with this guy. He was definitely a stalker since he wouldn't stop following me around everywhere.
