'Of course this is happening to me', I thought as I ran aimlessly through the forest.

I had been running for hours, I'm cold, hungry and smell like wet dog, its dark and I still hadn't found a house. It's almost like owning a house in the middle of a dark, creepy forest was weird...

*scoffs*

I was deep in thought, thinking about people's poor life choices, when I hear a twig snap behind me. I came to a dead stop. Then, just like in the movies, I slowly turned around, I saw a dark, hooded figure standing beside a tree just a few feet away from where I was standing.

So, I did the bravest thing I could think of...

As I sprinted for my life while screaming for mercy, the hooded figure only got closer and closer. Seeing him gaining on me gave me a sudden burst of adrenaline, which made me run faster.

"WOOOHOOO!! YEAH KEON! WE LOST HIM THANKS TO YOUR AMAZING BOD!", I shouted happily, as the figure grew smaller and smaller.

You'll never guess what happened next.

My STUPID legs decided this was the perfect time to take a nap. I fell face first and earned myself a mouthful of twigs and leaves. As I rolled over groaning, somehow, the hooded man used his juju (the best form of black magic) to catch up to me. He bent over my face, so I looked up and saw his face - it was covered with a red mask.

"Satan?"

"What? No! Why would yo- you know what? Just forget.", Mr. Satan lookalike answered.

Something was off about his voice. He sounded like a girl, about my age. Weird. I didn't know creeps sounded like teenage girls.

"What do you want, Mr. Satan Sir?", I innocently asked.

Hey, I had the right to know.

"Don't call me tha- oh god, you're bleeding", he/she/it said worriedly, looking (I think. It was hard to tell with that mask on) at the big gash on my forehead.
"I'll have to take you to my house", she soliloquized.

"Keon, can you hear me? I'm going to take you to my house. You'll need stitches an-", her voice started to fade as I started losing consciousness.

Who is this girl and how does she know my name?, I thought, then everything went dark.

I'm so proud of myself *pats self on the back*. I hope you enjoyed it👻
