She stepped out of the woodland... and into what seemed a parallel universe.
She paused, swayed... and awoke to find herself screaming... and running.
Tripping, falling... bruising her knee... and running again.
How did I get this way?
Where am I going?
No... I can't run much longer.
She turned to gaze upon her fate... only to find she was running from nothing.
Turning around she found herself face to face with a man... not much taller then herself.
Blood colored eyes.
Beautiful face.
He seemed cold.
Hateful.
Distant.
And standing alone in this strange place.
"How did you get here human?"
Human?
"I was walking... and... and then..."
"you just found yourself here. Goodnight."
she found her mind inside the center of her being,
It was strange, it felt as though he could see everything she was and... was not.
And then she felt as if he were taking things from her... striping her of her... nothing.
She awoke again, in her bed.
Alone.
A dream.
A dream.
A dream.
A drea- no... it could not have been a dream... her knee ...
Still bruised.
