The wind blew harshly. The silhouettes of the trees and their leaves swayed within the light of the moon. Stars glowed, revealing the eyes of an owl stalking its prey. The car stopped slowly; its headlights flickering like a candle in a window. The tyres rolled into the mud with a squelch. She opened the door, the bonnet shone brightly from the moon's reflection.
Wind howled like a wolf, blowing her long brown hair over her face. Carefully, her pale hand brushed away the hair; revealing deep green eyes and gentle, plump, pink lips. Gripping her coat, tightly over her slim body, she reached into her dark blue jeans and pulled out her phone. The sound of the numbers being typed into her phone died under the whistling wind.
'Hello..hi…Mickey?' Her soft voice filled the woods. The echo caused the howl to hoot and fly away. The flapping of its wings like the fanning of paper. It scared her and she dropped her phone into the mud. The wind blew leaves over it, the light from the phone made the leaves a glowing white colour. Going back to the car to grab her GPS, she bent over to get her phone in the mud. A piercing scream filled the air and made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Again the owl flew past and she fell over. The moon shone on her face brightly, the green eyes like cats. The moon appeared to have a smile on its face. A mocking smile. Like this was going to be her only night alone in these woods. Alive.
Slowly standing up, mud all over her jeans and trainers, her green eyes darted left and right. Trees were swaying violently like they were dancing to the song of the moon. Looking at the GPS, the nearest ranger station was four miles west from where her slender frame stood. Her phone had no signal. Cursing under her breath, the plump lips moved as soft as a whisper. Footsteps under her caused the leaves to sound like crete paper. Air escaped from her lungs like ghosts fading into the surroundings. Unlike before, she couldn't get lost with her trusty GPS. But getting people lost was its speciality. And it had spotted her.
It had been thirty minuets since she started to walk, her long legs were getting tired. Glancing at her GPS she only had two miles left to walk. As a sigh of relief escaped her lungs, it wailed. Quick as a flash she turned, her brown hair flicked over her shoulder with a faint swoosh sound. Something was coming to get her out from the trees. Nowhere to run, a tear fell from her eyes, glistening like the stars. A loud roar filled the woods. Dropping everything, she ran in the direction she walked from.
Ducking in and out of tree branches, which were scratching her face and coat as she races towards safety-wherever that maybe. It was already waiting for her. Stopping to catch her breath and bearings, her eyes illuminated under he moon. Searching frantically for her GPS, it hit her that she dropped it running. Sweat was dripping, even though the cold air was biting her wounds. Slowly her hand felt her pale, slender face. It was moist. Holding her hand under the moon; it wasn't moist through just sweat. Blood.
Panicking, she had nowhere to go. Something was after her. Breathing heavily, her phone beeped. Signal. 'Thank goodness!' Searching through the phonebook, she found MICKEY. 'CRRRACK' She gasped. Her eyes started to water. Her tears were sharp against her cold, red nose. The trees were rustling violently. The wind had stopped suddenly. A figure emerged from the bushed like a flower sprouting from the ground. Metallic teeth appeared and snarled like a hungry lion. All what was going through her mind was memories of when she was in the woods with her ex-boyfriend. Fear pumped through her veins, her heart beating harder than a drum. Closer it glided towards her, nails just appearing from its hands. It wasn't human. All it had was a light layer of skin, over blood red bones. But its eyes carried the danger. The blood red eyes. It hissed, metallic teeth and red eyes like beacons. Drawing a deep breath she screamed 'AHHHHHHHHHHHH'
