Chapter 1
Why me?
The sound of the rain was obscuring his thoughts.
It's not my fault, but why do they take their anger out at me?
Fear and dread coursed through his veins.
I didn't ask for this, not once at all.
His heart beating fast, he panicked and fled. His legs carried him out the door of a vacant room and down the stairs. His ears and mind became deaf to the angry noises of crashes and dreadful sounds. At that moment, lightning no longer became his greatest fear. The rain was cold and beated everything they could touch, including his face. He ran across the slick mud and didnt look back because of terror and shame. The barks of the trees were a dull grayish brown, their branches were dancing with the wind.
After galloping through the woods, he no longer heard a threatening sound.
The silence didn't calm his heart or his mind, until he was sure that he was forever out of their sight.
