Light

M is for Moonlight...or?

As she turned,she saw a few men throwing fists at each other and tumbling towards where she was standing.

Hafsa stepped back hastily and tripped over a large rock,falling backwards.Her head hit the road and she blacked out.

She awoke to the sound of a deep rumbling in the distance.As her eyes adjusted to the dark,she tried moving her head to the side to look at her surroundings but no matter how much she willed her head to turn,it just wouldn't.

She heard footsteps approaching from behind and as if in that moment,her senses all heightened,she heard the crunch of every all-ready crushed leaf,the squish of the mud underneath the shoe of whoever was coming her way.She felt the tiny rocks poking into her spine as if they were fork tines and the tiny legs of some sort of insect on her neck and face.

Her heart lurched in her throat at the touch of the insect and she reached up to swat it away...but only mentally for her hands didnot lift when she thought it and no matter how much she exerted,her arms would not move an inch,it was as if her brain and body were misaligned.

The tiny feet were joined by another pair and the approaching footsteps were now accompanied by the sliver of a knife or a sword ,or something equally as sharp,sheathing and unsheathing.

Closer went the insect,almost at her cheek now,and faster did her heart beat from fear of the unknown.

The feet approached her and the sounds they made were almost inaudible,yet so ear-splittingly loud.

Atleast her heart still beat,atleast she could still hear,and see,and breathe,and in that moment it was all that she needed,all she needed was to stay alive.

Suddenly,the footsteps stopped and the sounds were replace by a low,heavy,humming breeze in her ear,then she heard her name being called out very softly,it was muffled and when she tried to turn to see the source of the voice,her name sounded again,but this time there was a laugh accompanying it,a laugh which Hafsa made out to be one laced with evil and vengeance.

A face appeared before her eyes,the head covered in a light blue cap,the face hidden beneath a mask of the same colour.She opened her mouth to speak but the person just laughed again and told her she should save her breathe because she could do absolutely nothing for the situation.

Hafsa shut her eyes in process of blinking when something very hard pushed against her eyes,forcing then shut and pressing down so that it hurt.

She tried to move but her struggle was fruitless as there had been no struggle from her part.

Finally,finally her eyes were allowed to open and the first thing she saw was a veiled face infront of her,looking down at her face before speaking to the masked man,her muffled hearing disabled Hafsa from hearing what she said,but she did manage to catch the words 'still alive'.

Hafsa wanted to scream out in the chance that someone would hear her,someone would come rescue her,and if not that atleast some of her frustration would be released but again she found herself unable to open her mouth.

Tears of wariness,fear,frustration flowed down her cheeks,but they were accompanied by nothing,not even a sob or a whimper.
The veiled person,who Hafsa made out to be a woman looked at her...and stepped closer,reaching out and touching her cheek with a finger,taking a drop of her tears and looking at it incredulously before looking down at her and smiling a triumphant smile,the words "Oh my dear Hafsa,but this is just a waste of tears."

Hafsa blinked up at her,her vision now blurrier due to the tears and recognising something about the somewhat familiar face,she blinked away her tears and looked closely at the face.

The woman narrowed her eyes and stepped away as the blue man stepped up with a huge knife in his hand,the long,ridged blade shining in the eery moonlight,the man's eyes holding the same glint.

Hafsa's eyes pooled with tears once more,closing them,she started to pray,not for her life but for her death.

Hafsa felt a piercing pain in her neck,her throat constricted,her brain pounded due to the lack of oxygen,her heart pumped harder,and harder,her face snapped backwards and......
