My lungs needs more air but tiny bits came in every now and then.
The lady behind me laughs, echoing on the houses wall into my ears, making shivers run down my spine.
Where do I go? I search room by room for a weapon. To end this game right here.
"Help!" I scream.
Pain shoots my leg as I land on a rock and slightly twisted my sprained ankle, making me cry aloud.
This game isn't fair.
I'm only 7 and I'm also hurt.
I cast a look behind me and regret it immediately. She was right on my tail.
"Someone please help!" I scream but my voice was getting smaller.
"No one can hear you, my dear," the lady laugh.
I turn around and stop, sick of this unfair game.
"Why do you laugh all the time! Nothing is funny!" I cry, tears pouring down on my face.
She comes up to me and suprisingly hugs me.
"I know, for your hard work, you can get a gift from me," the lady explains.
"What kind of gift?" I wipe the tears off my cheeks, so I don't look wimpy.
"A magic one," she smiles a smile that didn't touch her eyes, "close your eyes and let the magic come to you."
She is going to kill me.
Giving up, I close my eyes waiting for pain but something else comes to me.
A sweetness you can't taste but feel, a blissful touch to it, swarming me.
I feet it go through my body. It tickles. It feels like I was floating as the blissfulness kept swarming me, I could reach the sky even. Swimming in heaven.
And then, it all ended. My feet are planted firmly to the ground.
"There it is bonded tightly," there's that smile again.
"Sweet dreams, dear," she taps my head and light explodes in my eyes.
