Fire Due at Nightfall I bend over my knees, catching my breath as I look to see how many Enforcers are still chasing after me. Only about four this time, and they're not far behind. I duck underneath a bed of bushes just as they catch my path. I suck in my breath, not daring to breath for fear they have keener senses this time. "Where is she?" a deep voice belonging to one of the Enforcers asks. "She must have escaped," a higher voice-a woman-answers. As if that weren't already obvious. "Again," the first voice mumbles, with a mix of a disappointing and frustrated tone, "we really should get better security." "We have perfect security!" The woman says in a sharp tone, "it is beyond me how she continues to do this." I hear the four pairs of footsteps walk away in step, like the king was watching, even though there's nobody here. Just the forest. And me. I let out a relieved sigh, scanning all around me to make sure I was alone. I've always been alone. Nobody else was in the forest. And unless they were an Enforcer, they wouldn't even be interested in me. Or so I thought.

"This is a nightmare, it's only a nightmare..." I say to myself as I try to catch my breath while leaning against a tall pine tree. Only for a moment do I stay in that position until I hear a twig snap. I quickly leap away from the tree and run as fast as I can. "Wake up (Y/N)! just wake up!!!" I think to myself. "You are awake my dear..." I hear that voice. That damn voice. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" I scream. I continue to run past trees and hopping over large rocks. The mist in the air begins to get thicker as I continue this race. "Why me? out of all the people this had to happen to me!" my brain races with thoughts until my foot gets caught by a tree root sticking out of the ground. I fall hitting my head on a rock. My vision is blurry and I can feel a warm liquid begin to stream down my face. "My dear (Y/N), look what you have done to yourself. You shouldn't have tried to run away." the voice goes through my head again. I look around and see nothing but trees. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" My voice begins to grow sore from the constant running and yelling. The sound of leaves crunching comes from behind me and I whip my head around until my eyes are met with him. "My dear (Y/N), you've made quite the mess of yourself. You know you are not aloud to leave......now you'll have to be punished." The figure says without any facial expression or motion. The figure begins to walk forward towards me. I try to back away until my vision becomes black and all I can hear is static.
