I live in constant fear.fear of the world.fear of people.i couldn't barely go out of my box without being afraid.In a constant strife with my mind but i need to find food,I can't rely food crumbs anymore.I took a deep breath and exited my humble box in to the town of werewolves and lycans. Keeping my head low trying to mind my business.I want to leave this place but im too scared of what's out there.My thoughts were interrupted by an announcer "To day is the day where we chose a sacrifice to take to the underworld for the king to enjoy" he spoke on a platform with a large crowd at the bottom.crowds in discussion.people turns on each other.voting who should go up to the sacrifice, no matter the age."times up place your candidates on the stage".Screaming.begging for their lives.for their souls.Men,women,children,elders you name it there were sent up there."We need one more ladys and gents one more" The announcer said scanning the crowd.Some raise their hand to be a hero to save the town,some try to make other go up there so they won't have to deal with it for a year."How about that young lady in the back"he said pointing to me.The crowd clear a path to see me.A child."Yes.Yes you come here".Trembling.one step at a time i head up to the platform.on the platform he showed me to the crowd like a fashion show"Look what we have here.You're quite the specimen.I think the king will have some special plans for you." With swift movement he picked me up and chained me like I was some dog and then dragged me and the rest of the chosen people away in the forest.We walked what felt like hours to a camp full of people both helpers and people who has been chosen to be sacrificed "I'll take the girl.put the rest in the cages.be quick now" he spoke to the guards as he leads me to his tent "your such a delicate thing.I can't just treat you like all the others"He spoke sitting me down on a couch next to the tent entrance.Silence filled the air as the man sits down,probably doing some paperwork,while I sit here waiting for something to happen but all that was going through my head.What is he gonna do to me.Am i going to die.Scared and afraid that's all I feel as I let out a small tear turned to streams running down my dark skin.Screams.I know we both can hear it.Coming from outside the tent.I look at my captor and see beads of sweat running down his pale face.He grabs a sword ready to join the fight with a smug look on his face hiding the fear that he's gonna die.He turned to look at me and spoke his last "We will come for you.We will return you home".he exits the tent.And just as quickly he flew in crashing the desk behind him with a boy in a hoodie pounces on him and gives the final blow.The second he turns to me with blood dripping from his cloths,The murder from his eyes can kill a person twenty times over.I can't take it.I ran.I ran i ran i ran.Past the body of already dead hostages.the corpse of fellow kidnappers. To the forest not to look back.I didn't care if the thorns from bushes scratched and ripped some of my rags.I didn't care if my lungs burn.I keep on running.I turned around just to see the same boy following me close behind.As I picked up speed. Jumping over logs.sliding under rocks.I wasn't stopping anytime soon.Next thing i know there's a cliff.I could stop.He couldn't follow me this far.I was wrong.The gap between us closed in.The gap between the cliff was even closer.With out a second thought.I did the leap of faith and beat it.Still I don't waste a second i kept running.Still the boy gave chase.My lungs were on fire.My legs are falling off my sockets.I can't slow down.As i try to jump over a log i tripped.like my life flashed before eyes as I rolled down that hill leaving scars down my leg.I couldn't care if it hurts.I just needed to get away.stumbling.I walked away.mindless.crumble.As i turned to see the boy. pity covered his face as he looked at me.He jumped down in front of me.as he moved forward i moved back.a rock fell on his head.we looked up to see two men I recognized from the camp who kidnapped all those.I try to get away but The second i moved they threw a large boulders at me and the boy.crash.i thought i was dead.my life was done for.Darkness filled my vision.Peaceful.Empty.And quiet
