Suddenly she stopped, while she had the chance, and looked around. Her eyes seemed sharper, but the figure was nowhere in sight. The gray smudges surrounded her. They weren't gray smudges after all, the were still ghost-like, but they were real. They seemed to be wolves baring their teeth; their yellow eye glaring at her. Her backpack was gone and her braid was undone. Her hair was flying around her face. What had gotten her into this? They were getting closer. She took a deep breath. Something rustled behind her. Cherry didn't want to know what it was-probably her impending death. But the urge snapped her head in that direction. The black figure, it's probably their leader. She bet they were waiting for its command. Squeezing her eyes shut, she waited, but nothing happened. Just wait, she told herself.

I shuddered. It had never been so dark, nor so quiet before. There was always the light of the moon to guide me. The sound of the wind against the trees. I shook the thought from my mind and continued further into the wood. Then I saw it. A white light spread across the ground in front of me. The clouds had parted from where they were, revealing the moon at its fullest. I stared in awe. It had never been so bright. The ambiance began to come back. The wind began to dance with the trees. I closed my eyes. The scent of oak filled my nose and exhaled through my mouth. The aroma filled me with exhilaration. It filled me with something I couldn't explain. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Although it was something I wasn't used to feeling, I craved it deeply. I felt happy. I felt as if nothing else mattered than this moment. I opened my eyes. Everything seemed clearer. I could see the particles of dust flying in the beam of light that shone around me. I wanted to stay here for longer. I wanted this moment to last forever. Until I saw the wolf. It was hidden among the fold of trees behind me. It stared at me in aggravation. It's brows furrowed in my direction. It's face, livid with anger, revealed a set of unpleasant and sharp teeth. It began to move slightly forward. The wolf bounded towards me. It happened so quickly I had no time to react. It's limbs outstretched. It's teeth bared. My body, paralyzed from fear, refused to move. My lip quivered, urged to call for help, but no help would come. I was too deep into the woods. No one would hear my screams. The thought was soon interrupted by the wolf's teeth digging into my side.
