|| Forever Lost ||
Chapter 1
The ruff bark of the tree branches tore the girls soft palms open, the barking of large dogs could be heard in the distance. As the dogs came closer the girls expression became more terrified until the barking seemingly came from a few yards away, her terror turned into determination. She reached a branch large enough to hold her, she pressed herself against the tree, she slowed her breath to not be heard.
It seemed like years before the dogs finally moved on, their bizarre owners following close behind, the girl sighed and sat down onto the branch, shaking leaves off of the limbs of the old tree. She ran her slim fingers through her dark chestnut brown hair, her fingers were caked in dirt and her hair was ratted and mangy. She examined her wrists, the scars were fading but the pain was still fresh in her mind; she was on the run from these "things" that captured earth, they looked like humans but their eyes were a strange orange, like a rotting fallen leaf. They had taken the girl and her family hostage because, they are or actually were a very important family. They were known as "hunters".
