1"Run Riley! Run!" Someone screams my name. My legs fly underneath me. My heart is racing, my pulse drumming. Someone, no, something is chasing me. It's faster than lightning. Everywhere I turn the creature is in front of me bearing its gleaming white teeth at me. A hiss escapes from the creatures lips. That noise chills me to the bone. I cringe in fear as I turn away in fright.
I am running through darkness. I can't tell where I am what's happening. Nothing makes sense. Each turn, every move the thing mimics.
It jumps out in front of me. I'm cornered against a hard surface.
The eyes.. Bright crimson eyes. They spell out "You are my prey.. I am your stalker."
The beast's skin is translucent, white. You can see his veins, tendons, moving, ready to pounce on me, his innocent prey.
He leans in towards me. I see everything pass before my eyes in a second.
Braden, my boyfriend. My mom. My deceased father. My brother. My friends.
He leaps and I duck down. His cold lips are sucking the life from me.
When the beautiful creature is finished, he gets up and walks away, leaves me there to die.
Then everything goes black.
