All I could hear was my loud pounding footsteps as i ran through the forest. Looking behind me, I saw nothing but darkness and the night sky above me. Stopping in my tracks, my chest rising and falling as I gasped for air, i looked around for the thing I knew was chasing me.

*Flashback*

I had been traveling to the nearest town looking forward to having a good nights sleep after a long day of walking when i felt a strange sensation on the back of my neck. My pace quickened as i knew I was vulnerable out in this opening that was surrounded by thick forest.

The sensation grew stronger so as I was walking i turned my head just enough to see a shape moving through the tree line.

*end of flashback*

Frozen in fear, alone and exhausted from running, i prayed that I had lost whatever or whoever was following me. Then, a loud rustle came from my left. Whipping my head in the direction of the noise, I suddenly saw a tall dark figure walking out of the shadows.

As the figure slowly moved towards me, i started backing up until I felt my back hit something hard. Realizing it was tree, I dropped the large bag I had been carrying that was full of my things.

As soon as the bag hit the ground the moonlight lit up the figure before me and i finally caught a glimpse of the thing i'd been running from. From the broad shoulders and height, i could immediately tell that it was a man. He had a hood over his head but I could see his dark hair covering his eyes and a smirk forming on his lips. I stood there against the tree, my brain refusing to form any coherent thoughts.

All i could feel was my heart beating faster and faster the closer the man got to me. He continued approaching me until he put one hand on the tree next to my head. His hood slowly fell back but he kept his hair covering his eyes. "I've been watching you for quite awhile." He whispers in my ear. I let out a gasp because of his closeness, causing his lips to curl up into a devilish grin. A whimper escaped my lips as he brushed a strand of brown hair out of my face. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be out this late at night all by yourself ya know." He then lifted my chin up with his index finger forcing me to look upon his face. I saw his dark eyes that were full of mischief. His eyes slowly looked up and down my shaking body and licked his lips. My eyes widened as my suspicions were confirmed. 'This man is going to rape me!'

I panicked and tried to form words but only a squeak came out. "Aw the little mouse is scared." He laughed "Don't worry darlin I won't hurt you. Much." My stomach did a flip and I was finally able to muster up the courage to scream for help. "Help! Somebody please help me!" I shouted as loud as i could. "Shhh nobody can hear you way out here so there's no point in screaming for help." He says as he puts a finger to my lips.

'MOVE!' I shouted at myself to get away from him before I got hurt. I opened my mouth and bit down on his finger. Hard. A thick, warm stream of blood flowed into my mouth as the man yelled in pain. He backed away from me and I spit the mouthful of his blood into his face. "You bitch!" He screamed but he was still a few feet away from me so i took this opportunity to squat down and grab my bag.

After i hoisted the bag over my shoulder, i took off running as fast as i could but the man was too quick. I felt his fingers weave through my long wavy hair and yank me back. As i fell I cried out in pain. My head hit hard against the ground and i felt dizzy as my vision blurred. I could see the man standing over me with his face covered in blood and rage in his eyes.

Suddenly, i saw a flash and he flew to the side and slammed into the nearest tree. My eyes widened in shock but then my head starting aching terribly and my vision blurred again. I could hear yelling but couldn't make out the words as shooting pain was traveling throughout my head.

Softly putting my hands on either side of my head, i turn on my side to see what was happening. The man was being dragged by the collar of his shirt behind an even bigger man with blond hair and a dark coat lined with fur draped over his shoulders. All i could do was watch as my attacker was thrown again into a tree. Then, i heard the crackling sound of lightning right before my attacker was shocked and the tree behind him was burnt to a crisp. As I sighed a breath of relief my vision started to turn black. The blond man ran over to me, I tried to focus on his face but I just couldn't, and the last thing i heard was an urgent "Are you okay?"

Who was my savior?

And why were the only things I remember about him the sound of lightning and blond hair?
