XYRENE
As if it was a person, the creature somehow grabbed my throat and it was getting hard for me to breathe. I tried to let out a scream but muffled sounds just came out. It held me against the wall and I didn’t know what to do. I clawed and grabbed its “hands” on my throat trying to get it away from me and looked straight onto its empty eye sockets. The creature let out an eerie sound. I fell on the floor and rushed to the door and as I was about to turn the knob the creature grabbed a hold of my hair and pulled me back. It turned me around and I came face to face with it. There was a blank space on its face, like it was a mouth or something ready to swallow me whole.
“Xyrene!” it was Alex, screaming my name from afar.
“Alex! Alex!” I screamed.
But the creature drew closer and I closed my eyes and screamed out Alex’ name louder than what I thought I could have done. I felt a different heat from inside me. A powerful force from my body- something like a wave or magic- sent the creature flying away from me and smashed against the wall. It faded away. Then, I saw Alex at the door, looking straight at me, shocked.
