Staring out into the night sky, she wished for adventure and freedom. It was midnight and she had nothing to do the next day, she might as well make the most of her average life. Leaving a short note saying she'd be back by Monday, she boldly stepped outside and ran into the woods with the moonlight shining down on the path. The leaves cracked under her feet as she glided over the landscape, landing at a pond.

Taking off her shoes and tying her loose shirt, she plunged into the pond and enjoyed the cool sting it gave her skin. Instead of feeling cold and clammy as one would, she felt alive and at the other side, she continued her journey.

The songs of Crickets surrounded her as she walked further on, staring in awe of her surroundings. Little did she know that the beauty of the wood was hiding a dark secret. As she progressed on the music dimmed into nothing and the chill air started to scrape her soft skin.

The moon was now glaring over her, making her blood freeze inside. A twig snapped in the distance, but when she looked to see what made it the being vanished. Her adventure seemed to be coming to an abrupt ending. She started to run in the direction that she thought lead home, but soon enough she found herself lost and scared. No one would come looking for a while and by then it might be to late. Screaming would only lend a helping hand to what ever seemed to be watching her every move. She sensed something behind her, but she was already paralyzed with fear.

Long and pale fingers landed on her shoulder and she suppressed a whimper. She felt the hand trail up to her chin and move her head so she would turn around. Defenseless, she abided but what she saw made her want to turn and run. There stood a man, no a being that was abnormally tall and lengthy. His complexion was radiating a white glow that seemed to reflect the bright moon light that surrounded him. But all of this didn't phase the girl in the least bit, it was his faceless face that made her want to run away. Yet her limbs seemed to be under someone else's control.

Suddenly the slender figure placed his hand on her forehead, her mind raced with visions that she didn't own. Children on a play ground was the main vision that she was able to focus on. They seemed to be oblivious to what she knew was about to happen. Suddenly she understood what would happen to her, this would be her last night alive. The visions stopped he removed his hand. Her eyes clouded over and her breath came in short gasps as she started to plead for her life. Tears streaked her face and watered the ground beneath her. The figure remained silent as if contemplating something, his head tilted slightly to the side.

The telepathic communication started again,

"Come with me and I will take better care of you".

Shaking her head violently, she tried to block him out in hopes that if he couldn't talk to her then he'd go away.

"Don't fight me. You'll only make it worse." His voice soothed her, yet frightened her at the same time. She had never felt this way before, she was afraid of what he would and could do to her but at the same time she was intrigued by his actions and wanted to know what would happen next.

"Just give in to me."

She thought about which decision would be better. She knew that she should try and escape, but her body seemed to have a mind of its own as she mechanically moved forward and toward this strange being. She now stood nearly inches from him, her head just reaching his chest.

At last minute she had a fleeting reaction as long forms started to boil through the suit he was wearing. A scream pierced the silence and her legs were under her control once again. Her heart seemed to beat right through her small frame. A warm liquid was spilling out of her legs and as she looked down she saw that those extra forms had stretched and latched them selves onto her skin. The ground was soon lost as she struggled to gain dominance over him. Murmurs escaped through what would have been his mouth, but she was panicking and could not understand anything he seemed to be saying. The world was spinning and her heart rate had tripled. Darkness soon overcame her as she slipped out of consciousness.

She was gone.
