Emperor of the Night

The farther I ran into the forest, the harder my heart pounded in my chest. The waves of nausea was hitting me and I felt like any moment, it will definitely be the end. The satin red dress I was wearing was already torn half way, exposing the fresh, bloody gash across my collar bone. Every step I took felt like eternity and then I am falling, rolling on the ground above the crunching of the leaves. I closed my eyes slowly as I rolled to a stop, and I felt strong arms enclosing me, securing me from the harsh wind of the night.
