I was running as fast as I could, scrambling through the dark forest; my clothes catching on bramble thorns as I raced over the decayed leaves that carpeted the forest floor.  I needed to take chances; throw him off course. I couldn't believe what was happening.  I looked back; he's was getting nearer by the second.  My heart thumped violently and my breathing became heavy as I pushed myself to run harder. I winced as stitches stabbed my sides but I kept on running, my eyes full of fear. I looked back once again.  He was gone but I didn't stop. A flash of relief came over me until suddenly I felt something hit me; I fell flat on the face, my head pounding and my body aching everywhere. Then it all went black.
