• part 1: ~Alone in the dark? I never thought so...~

    It was dark outside, and the weather was chilling to my core. The stars overhead were bright and dazziling; the moon close to a full circle of light. All around me there were tree's, and the only things leading me through the dark void was my dim sight and sences. Yet, i wondered why i was walking alone in the middle of the forset.

    Just to get away from the abusive parrents back home? Was it to get away from the drama and chaos of school? To get away from the age of life, and the way things always didnt work out? Well, to be honest with my self; i couldnt answer any of it. i knew that things were horrible, and instead of leading to suicide, which i knew i wasnt stronge enough to do, i ran away.

    I had everything i thought i needed: clothes, some food, some money, and a fire starter. however, none of those things helped me get over my fears of being alone in the dark. i always had a strange feeling that i never really was alone, and thats what frightened me most of all.

    Walking through the dark, i knew that my mind was processing lots of noises. Most of them i wasnt sure were even real, but it seemed so. Finaly, i picked a small circle surrounded by trees and bushes, wich in truth could be any spot in the forest, and settling down; i created a fire and huddled close . the warm flames danced in circles of smoke as it rose to the night sky and warmed me up as much as it could without me burning myself. i felt better now that i had more light, but the it didnt cover most of the sounds.

    Suddenly rising through the air, i herd a loud howl echo off the mountains. it wasnt uncommen, but this was closer than most of the wolves that lived around the area. also, it was alone, and that was very uncommen because wolves never traveled alone here. i looked around feeling a sudden urge of fright;that something was watching me, and it wanted me afraid.

    i shut my eyes tight and began to cound backwards from 10 to 1. when i was little my mother always told me to do that when i was frightened, because she knew it happened regularly at the house. usualy it worked, but this time, it only calmed me down. i knew now that something was watching me. Franticly, i stood up and moved around in circles trying to cover every area of wood i could see. as i turned, my fire bured out and compleate darkness surrounded me in a gulp of fear.

    i felt things rush past me with a wiff of wind as their only presence. i wanted to scream in terror, but the screams were stuck in my throat and i could no longer make a sound. instead, i rushed through the woods leaving everything behinde. i didnt care what was left; i just knew i had to get away.

    suddenly in the darkness, i tripped over a loose branch on the ground and slammed head first into the wet dirt. the taste overflowed my mouth in a salty manner as i spit it out as best i could when i went to get up, but something latched onto my leg. just as qick as i fell, i was being pulled backwards by my pants leg. i could hear it tear and rip as i dug my fingernails feircly into the dirt, but it was useless.

    i started yelling for help even though i was to deep in the woods for anyone to hear me, but i had to have hope. i thrashed my legs back and forth trying to get loose from whatver was latched onto me. kicking it in the face it let go with a yelp and i was running again with all my might. my body acked majorly with pain and i could feel the now growing bruises and fell the blood leaking from cuts and scratches. before i knew it, i was on the ground again.

    i could feel the foul hot breath breathing on my neck,and sharp claws digging into the flesh on my back. i shut my eyes in fear and held them shut tight, once again counting backwards from 10 to 1 to calm myself down; i herd more howls echoing in the air closer than before.
