"Angela! Wait! I love you!" He said as he ran after me. I could hear his footfalls. He was getting closer. "Please don't be afraid! Come back!" Don't be afraid! How could I not be afraid! He was a monster. I stumbled over a rock and fell to the ground, scraping my knee, I wiped off the blood and continued to run through the forest.
I hadn't realized it had started raining; I was too concerned with getting a way from him. All I wanted was to be home. It wasn't the best place but I was safe there. I made it to the edge of the forest. I was close to being home free. I turned around to see if he was still behind me.
I instantly felt relief to see he wasn't standing right behind me. I ran to the back door and took the key out from under the mat, when suddenly I heard a howl, I could feel the anguish and sorrow deep in my heart. I was wet and shivering from the rain. But mostly I was in pain. Everything hurt.
I hurried inside and ran up to my room. "Angela", my mom called. "Honey, are you okay? Where were you?" I heard her walking up the stairs and towards my room. "Do you want anything, you must be cold, your drenched!"
She opened the door and I turned to her and I shook my head, "No, I'm fine. I was just taking a walk and I got caught in the storm. I really just want to shower and change." She nodded and left, but a few seconds later I heard the shower turn on. "Let me know if you need anything. I will be downstairs." I listened as she walked down the stairs and then walked down the hall to the bathroom.
After my shower I changed into a shirt and some baggy shorts. I was sore from running so fast and so far. I climbed into bed and pulled the covers over my head and then I just cried. I am not sure how long I cried for until I fell asleep.
