Prologue.
The sound of rapid gunfire rang in the girls ear as she ran through the dark woods. Her panting echoing in her ears as she looked around rapidly. Her bare feet slapped against the wet leaves of the forest floor as she rushed away from the sounds of gunfire. She looked behind her, but didn't see anything except for shadows of people she doesn't know. Loud shouts and yells surrounded her, though her mind was too busy on running to process what they were saying. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her knee as she tripped and rolled down a hill.
She slowly got up, looking behind her, fear pulsing through her veins, as was adrenaline. She gasped for air, her lungs filling and exhaling air faster than what is considered healthy. She looked around for someplace to hide, finding it under a tree, where a little crevice was, just big enough for her to hide in. She crawled in the tucked her bruised knees up to her chest, as she covered her mouth to stop from panting loudly. After a few moments the shouting stopped and everything went silent. The girl slowly dropped her hand from her mouth and crawled forward, peeking out to see if anyone was out there.
She stayed in her little hole for a while, and tried to think back to what led up to these events. She remembered that she had woken up in the woods, and that near her was a car, it was totaled completely and it looked like someone crushed the car like a tin can. She remembered a bunch of noises, sounds of running and crying, she knew that she was hurt, seeing as her side hurt badly, and she could barely move her left leg. She remembered a voice in her head saying 'Run!' and that is what she did, at first it was hard and she just limped away, but she finally managed to start running. She didn't know why she was running, or who she was running from, all she knew was that if she didn't run they would catch her. She didn't know who they were but they mustn't have been friends with her.
She tried to remember why they were after her, and why she couldn't remember anything. She didn't know who she was or why she was in the woods, and that thought scared her. She finally decided that she has waited long enough and she crawled out and looked around her, before running in the opposite direction of where the people went. She ran and ran until she couldn't run anymore, and decided to walk. She had no clue where she was, or where she was going but she was determined to find out. Suddenly a loud bang sounded and the tree next to her head was hit with something small and metal.
A bullet. They had found her, which made her panic and she broke out into another sprint. She ran in a random direction and heard the people behind her gaining in on her. "Stop!" one of the voices yelled, but the girl promptly ignored the voice. "Keep going. Don't stop. Keep running." A voice inside her head told her. She continued to run until she slipped once more and hit her head on a hard object.
She layed on the ground, too tired to get up and run again, as footsteps came running towards her. Her vision blurred slightly and a bright light shined in her face making her having to squint to see the person behind the light. A man, about his late 30's early 40's stood above her as did a bunch of other, younger looking people. She faintly heard a voice asking her if she was okay, and why she was in the woods. Darkness slowly creeped into the edges of her vision and she slowly closed her eyes, too tired to fight to stay awake. "Miss? Miss are you okay?" Was the last thing she heard before the darkness completely took over her and she fell into a dark abyss
