He had always thought that it was the little things in life that made it worth living, small everyday things that most people took for granted.

Most of humanity was to busy to really see the simple beauty of everyday life, they were so worried about up staging the ones around them that life got lost in the shuffle of things.

The spell was rarely broken, even when it was it didn't last, most people liked living in the land of the blind, it was safer there than in reality.

He supposed that it was better that way, let them have their fantasy, living their fairytale lives, unaware of the danger all around them.

It made the game easy, most people were happy enough to believe the lie that was told to them.

The one that promised a family, a home, countless years with the people you love, a life free of evil, but it lurked in places that no one ever saw. It lived inside his beating heart and it showed him the truth.

He saw everything, he was above it all, he was god in the land of blind fools.

A smile snaked across his face as he tied the bow on the gift he had for the chosen one, he wondered if she was one of the lucky few that saw the beauty of life?

It wasn't that hard to see, not if you looked long enough, if you really open your eyes you'd see the truth.

The true beauty of life lay in the end of it. Death was a gift, it was the best gift of all. A gift that he intended to share with his lovely Lily.

Lily was scared, he was closing in and no matter how fast she ran he was always one step behind her. She ran until her legs felt like jelly, until her lungs were on fire and even then she made herself run a few steps more.

"Lily" his voice crawled into her ears "You can't hide from me forever, I will find you."

Fear made her move, even when she had nothing left, fear made her take one last step. It wasn't enough he caught her, pulled her into a iron grip. No matter how hard she fought he wouldn't let her go.

"Don't you know I'd never hurt you" he pulled her closer "I love you, I'll always love you."

A scream tore it's way out of her throat, she woke with a start, sweat dripped down her face, terror swan through her veins.

A light suddenly blinded her, she heard someone ask her something but didn't fully understand what had been said.

Christina Rush walked slowly towards her big sister, she was sitting up in bed, rocking back and forth.

"Lily..are you ok?"

The blonde looked up at her, the spider web sleep leaves behind faded away when she saw her "I..I'm ok just had a bad dream."

"You sure..I mean you..screamed."

"I'm fine Christina, go to bed."

"God you don't have to be a bitch about, sorry that I was worried."

"No..I'm sorry..I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm fine really."

Christina left her alone and for a moment Lily wished she hadn't , silence was a bad thing sometimes, this night it deafening.

Sleep never came back for her, she spent the rest of the night fighting off the memories the man in her dream had brought back to life.

It had been years, why couldn't she leave him behind, why after all this time was he coming back to haunt her?

The morning came, the sun sat high upon his throne, drying out the town below him. Lily walked out to pick up the morning paper, she turned to go inside and that's when she spotted the package.

It was rather small, sitting there on her steps, wrapped in plain brown paper, a pretty pink bow smiled up at her. She bend down and gathered it up.

Inside she looked for a card but didn't find one, her name was badly scribbled on it so she sat down at the kitchen table and opened it up.

The thing that she pulled from the box stopped her heart, it was old and worn, the color had faded but she knew it was hers.

"No...no this can't be real." she thought as she was pulled back in time to a night so long ago, to a night that changed her life forever.

The scarf she held in her hands now had been around her neck that night, it had cut off her air when someone held her down in the darkness, it had been taken by the monster when he left her behind.

It fell from her hand when she saw what else was inside, a photo stared up at her, it was a photo of Lorna Redmond.
