Run. That was the only thing chained within our thoughts, time, there wasn't much time for anything other than to run, keep running, don't stop, ignore the pain, just keep running. What was this thing? how did we become of this, when did running become our only chance of survival? I glance over at her, my friend, she was planning, planning our escape.
Where were the flowers? The forest was dead, it wanted us. No! why should it end like this? We have been through so much, keep running, we have lost so much, keep running, our breath is slowly fading away, lungs aching, hearts decaying, just keep running. We are burning, the pain is becoming unbearable but this thing, it does not tire, had this always been a loosing battle?
I take comfort knowing im with my friend, she grabs my arm and pulls me towards an emerging light, the hunter shrieks the noise is easily something found surrounding the walls of hell. 'We will make this.' She says to me, hope surrounds us both, keep running, ignore the pain, don't look back, what is this light? Our only option.
We feel the light, clawing closer to us, urging us to never stop, keep running, the creature is close now, furious and tormented it aches for our capture, why? We know why, we have known all along, we went looking for it, fascinated by the legends, the truth leads us to our nearing end. No! why should we give in to this things game, it cannot have us! Something was wrong, the creature, the creature was gone, still we ran, still unable to look back, still longing for the light.
It didn't feel right, the light ,why wasn't it warm? it was frozen, how? Just keep running, but what was to come from this, hearts pounding, the sounds surrounding were now ghosts trapped within the wind, can we trust this? We will never know, until the moment we face it, just keep running, we slow caused by our loss of energy, we can almost touch it now but wait. It's gone, the light, it disappeared, No! it was a trap, we wanted to fall to the floor in defeat, just keep running, the creature emerged it was so close, our bones crushed in agony, the forest would never end, blood? The smell of blood clung to the monster, the voices in my head had begun to sing, we wanted to tear this monster apart limb by limb, we wouldn't have a chance it was so strong, so twisted, it tormented with our minds.
It grew, the monster, it stretched reaching for us, a face with no eyes pierced deeper than any other creature could satisfy, closer and closer, just keep running, we cant lose now. Was we the first to not fall for its spell? We refused and it took interest in this creating a new game for its twisted needs, we cannot run for much longer, the pain, its drowning us, where are the flowers? It whispers to us, 'mine you are mine', we both hear this, we jolt, the whispers, so twisted clawing within our minds, we turn hoping to confuse it, the thing was already one step ahead, it was smiling, blood painted between its teeth.
He has us, more than enough hands we fall to the ground, the leaves, dead, where are the flowers? We turn to each other, we will go together, the shadow closes in, what was his plan, this creature, why hadn't it killed us already? what was the point of this whole game? The forest could feel our anger, its screaming back at me, she is still plotting, finding our escape, is it possible? The dark, it closes in, laughing, he has the control, No! we have the control, closer it lurks, finding it so hard not to drown, the real world begins to fade, we can feel it, feel its essence linger, is this the end?
Just keep running.
