Running Forgotten
Part 001
By: DanniMarie
Running, that's all she could do to keep alive. Just keep on running.
The snow that had fallen the night before had frozen due to the cold weather and was cutting deep into her bear feet as she ran, however she didn't stop from the pain… Pain, that what her whole life was… Pain, lies, hurt, death, betrayal, she knew them all to well.
"Over this way!" A loud voice yelled from behind her.
'No, they can't find me, I'll never go back.' She yelled in her mind. She had to keep running. She looked ahead and saw a clearing, if she could make it to the other side she would be safe in the Western land, they couldn't get to her there.
Without wasting any time she picked up her speed and ran though the thick forest. Not taking the time to scream out in pain as the frozen ground bit at her small feet, nor did she slow down when the trees reached out to grab her.
'Almost there!' She thought as she head them following after her. They had seen her and where almost on her.
'Run, have to keep running, just a little further…'
However she wasn't expecting them to have stopped. She too stopped right in the middle of the clearing and looked back. There where about twenty of them, over the years their number had grown. When it all started, there has only been one or two, however she had always outsmarted them, no mater how many.
"She ain't worth it." One said looking over to the others. Had they finally given up on her, after fifteen years, was it really over?
"We have to take her back. You know what he'll do to us if we don't come back with her." Other said.
"We could always say that she died." Yet another spoke.
"All I know is I ain't going out there!" The first one yelled over the other, pointing to where she was.
What was wrong where she was? Looking around she couldn't figure it out. Had she already crossed over into the Western land? Was she already safe? Joy began to feel her when she heard it.
Looking down, she found why the man had not followed her. She wasn't standing in a clearing, she was standing in the middle of a frozen lake. Terror began to over take her once more as she saw on man start to walk out to her.
"Siu, walk light. There's not telling how thick this is." She heard one call out to his comrade.
'No, this can't be happening." She yelled to herself. She looked back around to the other side. She as almost there… if only she could make it there. Without wasting any more time, she took off running. However the man had to pick up speed. The sound of cracking ice, stopped both as the looked down.
"Siu! Get back over here before you fall under!" The other men yelled.
"Shit!" The man looked back over to the girl. "This isn't over. When spring comes, we'll find you and make you pay for running us around like this. You hear me!" Siu yelled to her. He turned around and walked slowly back over to his friend. However before he got all the way there he turned around, bow strung.
Without waiting for him to shoot, she took off ruing again. She was almost there. The ice was cracking more now that she was running again and she knew that she had to watch where she stepped. She let out an ear-pressing scream when the arrow hit her in her left leg, sending her hard into the ground.
'No.' Was all she could think as she felt the frozen waters consume her fragile and broken body. As she got sweep under all she could think was… 'It's finely over…I'm free now'
