My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.

Demons in the Jungle

24 parts Complete Mature

When you go into the jungle to kill, you'd better be ready to kill a piece of yourself. Tommy Volker, age 22, and his friends, are adventuring across the world in search of excitement and danger. With Tommy's bank account having bulged from an unexpected inheritance, the possibilities are near-endless as they try to wander off the tourist trail at every opportunity. Tommy and the gang are in Brazil when they're approached by an eccentric man named Amy who makes them a disturbing offer: for $120,000, they can go to the jungle, hunt, and kill a human being. His friends are appalled, but Tommy is intrigued, so he sneaks away and accepts the offer without looking back once. But the jungles of the nearby Chawe Islands have plans for Tommy. Within hours, he loses most of his equipment and is badly wounded. Amy refuses to pick him up, coercing Tommy to honor the deal by keeping one of his friends captive as insurance. Tommy, armed only with a knife, is forced to turn back into the darkness of the jungle and find out what sort of man he really is.
