Julie ran against the howling wind, her head full of thoughts. Can't let them catch me .. Can't go back. Must keep running. Must stay warm. She pulled her thin wrap closer to her, trying to believe in the fantasy that she was warm. Suddenly a sharp pain seemed to hit her head. Julie winced. Not now! Now was NOT the time to get one of your headaches Julie! She started to rub her temples ferociously, which in turn, only made her head hurt worse.
A sudden gust of wind caused Julie to fall into a ditch in the side of the road. She sucked in a scream as a pain shot up her arm. She looked down and saw a gnash cut into her left arm. "Why are there so many rocks on Montresser?" She whispered in pain. She bit her lip in hope that the pain would just go away. But it didn't.
Her vision was starting to get fuzzy now, and she hardly felt herself tying her thin wrap around her arm. She forced herself to stand, and almost fell over again, her pain was so great.
And that's when she saw it. Though her blurry vision, she was sure she could make out a light coming from a house. This light looked warm. Comforting. And most of all inviting. It made Julie want to indure her pain, and carry though, just so she could make it to that light. She started to walk towards it, and teetered. She successfully righted herself, no thanks to the weather, and pressed onward… For about 10 seconds. This time she when she teetered again, she fell over. A sudden pain shot up her knee, and Julie couldn't keep the scream inside. She laid back in the now pouring rain, and knew she was going to die. She just knew it. She started to breathe heavily as the darkness of unconsciousness poured over her.
