I walk deeper into the forest.  It's getting darker with every second and I can see the sun inbetween the trees. For the first time in a long time, I feel truly free and I'm not going to give that up just because I'm a little scared. The sounds of insects and crows fill the space around me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath in. I can feel someone's eyes on me, their warm breath fanning against my neck. I turn around quickly just to bump into a hard surface. All air leaves my lungs when I look up into two green orbs. I've seen them before. They're the man's that's in my dreams.
