The King's Curse

Different world

I was running. I don't remember how fast or for how long. All I know is that I was now running in the woods.

My legs hurt and my heart hammered in my chest. Yet I continued to run.

Here I am lost in the woods because of my stupidity like why out of all places did I decide to take a run in the woodlands I am not proud of my current decisions. As I was having my monologue, I slip off the side of the hill and started to roll, over and over as I heard the cracks of my bones and felt extreme pain on my left arm as if it were being cut open I was too shocked to scream. When I finally came to a stop my body felt numb besides my arm it hurt so bad, it felt like death.

I began to scream on top of my lungs but could not move my body. It was becoming night time but I laid there in sheer pain and fear afraid of what the night would bring. who would protect me? Will I make it through tonight? 

I was feeling my consciousness slip from me. I can't help but feel like I am not alone.

*******************************************************************************************

 I have been laying here for what felt like hours. Not knowing whether I was awake or asleep. Terrified waiting to be devoured by some wild wolfs or a bear or even serpents  .I know I am not going to have a good ending to my life.

 I wonder if they are looking for me?

I wonder if they care?

Perhaps it was delirium that happened perhaps from the loss of blood who knows but what I did know is I was now reaching out for something I would never have something I shouldn't have, life.

Well, I stop this train of thoughts because I can hear something coming my way and it sounds big.

My heart sank I could feel that this was were my story ends. I was now painful aware of my surroundings. My will to live was hanging by a thread. I let out a shaky breath.

"You do know that you are on the verge of death right ?" said this wonderful sweet melodic voice which belongs to a male

"I..I...I can't feel my legs. Are you part of the Search and rescue team " I said with a bit of panic in my voice

Then he started laughing " No sadly I won't be the one to save you young one"

"What?"I gasped out desperately.

He was now standing above me. I could see him. His face was chiseled yet rounded at the same time. He's face was warm loving yet every single part of me wanted to run. He was rather tall as he towered over me. He was dressed in a rather ascentric outfit it looked like somewhat of a mix of clothing from different era's. He had a friendly look but something was unsettling about him. Perhaps his abnormally pale skin or the dead look in his eyes.

"I am sorry I have a promise I need to keep." He said.

I think that I am hallucinating or even dreaming. It's fine I will wake up and head to class soon.

" Hmm Sadly you won't so give up will you will. Don't make it difficult my daisy." He said as he lowered him self towards me now stroking the sides of my face.

And with that, my eyes met his dark silver pupils but...

that was it no pain, no dizziness just darkness nothing else.

Nothing.

I am practically paralyzed, can't hear or see. This feels like being dead but alive just floating between death and living. 

Why me? What did I do?
