Chapter 3: face to scarred face
Len's breath was heavy. He could feel the blistering air slip past his throat. He gulped, cold sweat dripping down his ghostly face. He almost felt as if he was locked inside a box. Smoke was poring in, suffocating his lungs. His watery eyes widened. Flashes of the horrifying dream appeared in his head. There she was, blood spattered face as she sunk into the darkness. The tearful look she gave him. It made him go mad knowing she could be out there, bleeding. Deep nothingness consuming her decaying corps as it lay in the shadowing trees. He had to do something. Then, he felt it. A fickler of flame shining, guiding him. He arose sharply from his bed, slipping on the covers that he had been clenching as he ran out the door. The others could only watched as he vanished into the storm.
Dodging through the dense forest trees, following the flicker. He was getting closer, yet it was so far away. His footsteps echoed through the towering giants. He could think of nothing else but getting to that light. As he got closer he could see a form taking shape out of the flame. A girl with ribbons rapped around her slender body. It seemed as though she was… transparent, almost.
Len collapsed from exhaustion before a figure. He could not tell their features from the lack of light that had surrounded them after the flaming girl had vanished. He sat in silence as the yellow moon light shone over them. He then saw that it was a girl with golden blonde hair that flowed down past her shoulder. Len's hand reached out to clear the hair from her face as she lay in suspended animation. Her strands of hair were soft to the touch as he rolled them through his fingertips. Shock rose in his body and he once again began to breathe heavily. Warm, red blood was dripping from her face on to his hand and the cold blades of grass. He slowly turned her lifeless body over to see a blood leaking from a gash on the right side of her face.
He was running with the seemingly lifeless body of the girl in his blood-drenched arms. It looked like the trees were alive, purposely moving aside as the glowing moon shone upon them. He could feel the sting of the shards of rain as they fell upon his face. He was exhausted, but he had to get the girl to shelter. Her body felt so cold in his embrace. He soon became numb from the cold. Running was now just a reflex. Just as his eyes narrowed into a weary gaze, he saw an asylum from the rain: A cave. He entered the gloomy yet safe darkness of the cave and collapsed, dropping the girl.
He lay there, catching the air with his dry mouth, gasping as though he was in water.
As he slowly opened his eyes in a misty stare, he saw the girl lying limply on the ground. Step by agonising step he walked towards her. He sat down beside the girl and lifted her on to his lap. He embraced her. The coldness of her body pierced his skin like knifes. Len had seen near to no sign of life apart from the fact that she was still bleeding. He took of his yellow scarf that was turning red and whipped the droplets from her delicate face. She had twitched slightly. Len was relieved that she was still with him. It was strange, he had not recognised her but he felt like he had seen her many times before. He could feel the girl shivering in his grasp. He pulled off his stained coat and wrapped it around her. Then got up and lit a crackling fire from a few dry twigs and stones he found at the deepest depths of the cave. Len lifted the girl and placed her carefully next to the burning flames. He kneeled beside her, and stroked her warming face and threading his fingers through the glossy, wet hair. A sigh of relief escaped his lips and a smile relaxed his face. He was so unaware of the thunderous blasts and heavy rain that he closed his eyes and lay down besides her, blissfully falling asleep.
