Alone

I run through the dark forest my heart pounding in my chest with fear. I could hear his quick footsteps behind me; I knew he could run faster then he was now but he said he was giving me a head start to run away. I knew he was lying, he was good at that, but I believed him in hope that for once he was telling the truth. "I'm going to get you Evangeline," he taunted. "Leave me alone!" I screamed. I was about to reach the end of the woods and run into the village but suddenly I felt a strong cold hand grab my shoulder and pull me back. I gasped in pain and shock as I fell to the ground. "You shouldn't have run Evangeline," he said while leaning over me. I tried to sit up but he put his foot on my shoulder to keep me down, "Leave me alone!"

"You've seen to much my little Evangeline," he says while grabbing my arm and picking me up. I pushed and shoved trying to get away from him but he was just too strong. "Give up Evangeline… you can't run," he whispered in my ear. I knew there was no point in fighting but what about the village? I am after all suppose to be the princess, who is going to watch over them and what about my little brother. I am too young to die; I have only lived for sixteen years. I looked into the cruel eyes of a monster and felt my whole body go limp. He smiled a cruel hateful smile and leaned down close to my neck. "Sweet dreams little Evangeline" he whispered. I let out a little whimper of fear as he leaned closer; when he finally bit, it was like an explosion of pain. I screamed and tried to push him away but he was like stone and I was starting to get weak and weaker. When he finally stopped, I feel to my knees, my hand quickly going to my neck to stop the bleeding. "Poor Evangeline, it seems as if you're going to die," he said while pushing me. I fell on my side and lay there, not caring what pain he puts me through. "That's a pretty dress your wearing I can't believe I didn't notice it" he says while playing with the skirt of my dress. He sat down next to me and started playing with a strand of my hair, "You know your hair actually reminds me of flames… beautiful, beautiful flames…"

He trailed off and looked at me his eyes clouded over for a moment then they went back to the same color of gray I remembered from the first time I met him. "I'm sorry Evangeline but its time for you to sleep now" and with that everything went black.

I sat in the middle of a crowed of people. I didn't know anyone but something about these people seemed familiar. "Hello?" I say while walking up to a girl with black hair. When the girl didn't answer, I put a hand on her shoulder and turned her. I screamed at what I saw; the girls face was covered in blood and her eyes were taken out. I stumbled back and bumped into another person who was the same as the girl. "Help! Someone please help me!" I screamed as I ran to get away from the people. "Evangeline…" a soft voice whispered. I quickly turn but only see the people from before but this time I knew them, they were people from my village. "Oh my god…" I put a hand over my mouth as tears slide down my cheek. "Evangeline.." the voice said again. "What! What do you want were, are you!" I screamed. "Evangeline… wake up…" the voice said. I looked around scared but I noticed that everything was going blurry. Just when I was about to say something everything went black and I was alone.

I awoke to the sound of music. It was a strange sound but yet it sounded so beautiful, sad but still beautiful. I slowly open my eyes and look around only to see a very unusual room. "Well good morning sleeping beauty" a soft voice chuckled. "w-who are you" I ask. "Someone" the person answered. "Someone?" i repeat confused.
