Pre Face
I lie there sweltering and shaking fiercely underneath the harsh grip of the monster's glare. I wanted to snap to scream to my content, but I knew that would do no good. Having my family feel my pain along with me would only make it worse for all of them. I couldn't stand to think they might have to feel even a fraction of what I was suffering at that very moment. All of a sudden, almost instantaneously, the pain was gone, I felt relief, and I heard the noise that sounded like boulders thrashing together then ripping apart and crashing to the ground. Then, the sound just stopped, and I couldn't hear, or feel a single thing. I'm not positive what was going on, but I was losing feeling and even when I tried to scream my senses wouldn't react. I felt like, well, like I couldn't feel anything, because I couldn't. My consciousness was slipping and I was fading away with it. But I didn't care I could still think and only one thing, one creature, was filling my mind. I didn't know where he was, and they me enough panic to start to pull through. Where was he? I had no idea, and I didn't like the answer I had for myself.
