Hope you enjoy!
It felt like it was minus ten degrees outside. When I came out of the building I already had a thick coat on, but after a minute of walking I considered an extra scarf would do no harm, so I made a mental note to bring one the next day. In these days I wished I had a car. A warm comfortable car, which I could have used to get to work. Walking every day wasn't that horrible in the summer really. It was quite nice to walk or to go on my bicycle, but during winters I could slap myself real hard. It's not like it was a five minute walk either. It would take me a while before I was home. I was looking forward to get home, warm up, get a nice hot meal, spend some time annoying my cat and boyfriend, and play Dragon Age for an hour or two before finishing the evening behind the television. I really enjoyed the game, as I've played through it as my female Cousland character. Of course I couldn't resist marrying Alistair, he's like the cutest character in that game!
My thoughts however, now got me standing still in the middle of a silent road which went through the woods for a short while. It usually didn't take long to get out of the woods, but something was off today. I looked at my watch and noticed it was standing still. - Great.- Utterly annoyed I looked around. - Yes, this does seem like the woods I'm used to.- With a weird feeling in my guts I moved on, and turned on my MP3 player. Maybe some good music could get my thoughts on the right track again. With the music playing, I considered looking on my phone what time it was. I automatically searched my pocket and found my phone. My eyes searched the screen and while I was trying to unlock it, it failed. - Wonderful, so not only is my watch broken, but now also my phone. - This certainly wasn't helping my mood. To make it worse, it started snowing. My feet moved faster as I was tired from this long day. The sky already started to turn dark, so I knew I had to hurry if I wanted to be out of the woods before it was completely dark. My eyes were focused on my feet, as the snow was falling in my face and kind of blurred my view. All of the sudden I bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" I said, and I looked up. All I saw was someone totally dressed in black. He, assuming it was a man, even had a hood in black. He slowly turned around and even then I could barely see his face. I stepped back a few paces, and I carefully tried to move around him to continue my journey home. While I did that, I didn't take my eyes of him, and with some hesitation I moved my sight forward again and started following the road, faster than I did before I met this man. The feeling in my gut got worse, and I looked behind only to find the man gone. - Where did he go? - When I turned my head back and again bumped into someone. This time I stayed silent and looked what he looked like. He was dressed in….black. My eyes focused on his head and noticed that he also was wearing a hood. The only thing that I could say at that moment was "How….." He turned around and I still couldn't see his face. I took a few paces back again and turned around, only to find another person standing there covered in black. - So this is how it goes eh? You have me stuck in between you two. -
Adrenaline was pumping through my body as I had to find a way to get out of here. I turned around again, and noticed the exit of the woods. It was so close yet there was no way I could pass that man without him catching me. The man behind me was now walking towards me. - The only way out was to my right. Getting in the woods, making a huge circle and get out again while running really fast. - He was getting closer fast as well.
- Next time I should take a cab. - Without taking more time to think I sprinted into the woods. I wasn't to be violated like a doll you can just use and throw away! It was hard to run through the snow in general. It was like sand, takes tons more energy to move forward than running on a normal road. It wasn't that bad yet, as it didn't snow for very long just yet, but I couldn't linger. The woods were closing up, getting darker as I got in further. The branches were hitting my body, no matter how much I tried to push them aside. I didn't look behind me. I didn't want to see how close they were. My gut feeling lightened up a bit after ten minutes of running and I stopped. I had to decide where to go from here. I couldn't see the road anymore, but even worse I couldn't see the exit of the woods. - Great plan Ave. - Luckily I couldn't see the two black men either. My feeling told me to go left, which only led to more dark woods. I had a map drawn out in my mind, so that was the only and fastest way out of here. So I moved. This time I was just walking and looking around if I could see anything, or anyone.
After a few minutes of walking in that direction my gut feeling got worse again. Something was not right, apart from the fact that I was in the woods and not the road where I should have been. I carefully looked around and didn't see anyone. I looked in front of me and I still didn't see anyone. SNAP! That sounded like someone stepped on a branch. My eyes widened and for a moment I froze. Slowly I moved my head to see if anyone was behind me. It didn't take long to see a long black hooded figure, and this was enough for me to start running. - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AVE! - I got into part of the woods I didn't know. I couldn't recognize anything, though me thoughts weren't at what I could recognize or not, but at those men who were chasing me. I kept moving and in the distance I saw a darker area. It was like the ground moved downhill or something. When I arrived there, I decided to evaluate quickly if this was something I could drop myself into. Wasn't it too steep? Were there no sharp things in the way even if I was about to try? It was covered like the rest of the woods. All branches, leaves and snow. So that basically gave me no information at all.
I turned around to see where the black dressed men were and saw that they were closing in real fast again. They gave me the creeps, and my feet moved back. They moved back, but there was no ground to put them on. I tried to move around, but it only caused me to land on my side and to fall down. I tried to get on my back so I could steer with my feet a bit, but the second I tried I hit a log with my legs. My upper body crashed into it as a response, and my head followed. I barely even felt the pain. I just saw the world spinning around me as my body moved further. - HELP!.. - was the only thing that came out of me. And it wasn't even in speech, but only in my mind. While seeing the world spin around, I got confused. My sight started to blur, and soon after my whole world was black. The last thing I saw was a soft light in the darkness.
