   Deanna's heart was pounding in her chest like it was a stampede of elephants. Her mind was a giant storm with thoughts and lightning made new ones. She didnt know what to do. He was back at the house but she didnt know what his neighbors were like. Do I have to run back to town!? She quickly thought to herself.
   When she noticed nothing but woods surrounding her, she moved some leaves which made a large pile due to it almost becoming winter. The air was crisp and it made her feel a little bit safer and more comforted. She placed down a large blanket and her pillow, then used a smaller blanket to cover up with. She soon feel into a deep sleep.

   "Hello?" Deanna called out into an open field. In the moment she didnt know why she said it, but she just did. As she closely examined the open field, she noticed her feet were floating off the ground. When she thought she was dead she started to panic, but realized she would be in the woods ... right?
   She didnt realize where she was, though she remembered that dreams are based off of where you have been. She knew that she had never been here before so she didnt know what was going on.
   Before she knew it the field turned into a Police Department that was in her town with familiar faces of  the officers, and... Aiden! What was he doing here?  She tried to reach out but her hand went straight through him. What is going on!? She questioned.
   "Please I know shes out there! You have to do something to save her!" Aiden was yelling at the cop. She could have swore there were tears in his eyes.
   "Aiden.." Deanna muttered. He must be talking about her, that only makes sense.
   "Sir we can find her you just need to wait. If anything, she might come back maybe she was napping and wanted to say hi?" The officer tried changing a serious subject. Obviously something bad happened to her, so why was the cop being so avoidant about her safety.
   "You dont understand sir!" Aiden was almost in tears, "She is in danger!" He was standing there and his face was red. She didn't know if it was anger or if it was because he was upset.
   "Let me call her family." He grudgingly said. He slowly picked up the phone and started to dial her parents phone number. "Hello, this is Officer Manson." He paused and she noticed how it was obviously her mother who answered because the voice was obviously female. "Does your family at all own a white pickup truck with tinted windows and with the license plate number being ....."
   Her heart dropped. Why didnt she hear the plate number!? She was trying to calm down but her heart picked right back up when she heard Officer Manson's response to whatever her mom said.
   "Right. I'm sorry to say this but she must have been kidnapped." Officer Manson was starting to pick up the feeling if worry as he finally realized that Deanaa has been in danger for a full 24 hours and they needed to find her now!
   She noticed how they all started to become a blurred object and their voices were muffled. She tried to reach out but then she fell out of the air and noticed she was back in the field and the grass was swaying against her skin.
   "NO!" She screamed out. Tears were filling her eyes, she knew she was going to die out all alone. No one would ever love her. She would never know what love was. She would never see her best friends again. She would never see her parents again.
   "You are in pain I see." A soft voice spoke as if she had no emotions. The voice was echoing through the empty field.
   "Who are you!?" Deanna screamed out. She was fed up with people ruining her life, she was ready to start being tough and fighting back for survival.
   "That is none of your concern, young child." Deanna could feel her warm smile. "You on the other hand, you need to wake up Deanna." Deanna felt like an arrow shot her heartHow does she know my name!? She thought.
   Deanna felt her body fall and she noticed the field fade away and she seemed to be in a new area which seemed like space with a bunch of stars that stared at her. As she felt something warm come near her, she saw a woman with a white dress that looked like snow, and skin that was a beautiful and perfect pale. The woman reached a hand out and placed it on her head. "Go." She said.

   Deanna awoke with sharp breaths. As she looked around she saw the familiar woods. She sat up better and took a few more breaths before standing up. She picked up the blanket and pillow and neatly wrapped it up before she started to walk. She started to remember her dream and the woman. She knew she had to leave.
   After about 30 minute she saw a road and she looked around her quickly before stepping out of the woods and into the road. She was running along it with fear. What if he goes on this road? She thought to herself. She just continued to run along the road to try getting to safety. She started to notice the familiar buildings that started to surround her. The silence seemed to call out to her for help.
   She jumped up thinking she was safe until she heard a familiar voice. Her heart froze in fear. NO! She could feel the fear and sadness scratching at her back.
   "The little punk is quite a stupid rat huh?" The laugh that he sent out made her tear up. She could hear his big, white truck sneaking up to her shaking body. As she looked behind her, she saw it coming close, and it almost seemed like it was smiling.
   "I wont let you get me!" She screamed at him before running off towards town. She could hear his truck catching up to her. My legs cant out run a truck! She finally realized. She started to shake in her head, frustrated. I need to duck into the woods!
   Although her body was telling her not to, she jumped over the guardrail into the woods with a steep hill. The branches were scraping at her skin as she was just falling down the hill with pain almost seeping into her bones.
