Chapter 1

My vision was clouded with blood. It dripped down into my eyes from. The red liquid was all over my face, some being washed away from tears. Without thinking, I ran out the door. I sprinted away as fast as possible, with no idea where I was going, and no intention of ever going back home. I tried going through the small forest behind my house, to get into a non-populated area. I was too injured to think, to injured to even care. Branches cut my face, drawing even more blood, as I hurried away. It didn't even matter to me anymore. I would live off of feces and "body juices" If I had to. Anything to get away from my parents…. After sprinting for about 10 minutes, I slowed to a steady jog. I saw a bright clearing far ahead. I sat down for a minute, to decide whether I should go there. "I wanted to stay away from populated areas, but I'm injured and need help" I debated out loud. After mulling it over for a few minutes, I decided it wouldn't be too bad to seek out help from whatever was in the clearing. I walked towards it, too tired to run. The walk was taking longer than I thought, as I had been walking for nearly an hour, and I was still only halfway there. I started running again, and made much more progress than when I was walking. I could barely move my face anymore, because the blood had dried all over it. After finally making it into the clearing, I started to walk around. There was a house, but when I knocked on the door, no one answered. I delved deeper into the clearing. "I should go… I don't know what type of people could live here… Maybe even a hostile Indian tribe or something!" I told myself out loud. "What was that?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around startled. Nothing could have ever prepared me for what I saw. I caught sight of a mint green goat holding a net before I blacked out.
