"Who are you?" I asked the figure of which was crouched in the shadows of the tall trees looming above. The figure crawled towards me, never seeming to leave the shadows enough for me to see it. Until it did. I had been able to name out the human form in the near pitch black darkness until I was suddenly lying on the ground with a dirty looking man hovering above me. I gasped in shock at how quickly he had moved us into this position. I could tell that the human figure was male. His bright blue eyes reminded me of the beach vacations that my family and I used to take when I was little. I normally would have screamed at being underneath a man in such a way but oddly I felt safe around him. Under him, I should say. Like in the way that he would never let anything hurt me again. I oddly trusted him and he hadn't even spoken yet. July 16th, 2018 - September 10th, 2018
