Cold Passion
So much has changed overnight. The world as I knew it is gone now. I destroyed that with my own two hands, though I'm not sure how it happened. I don't remember anything, but what I do know that now I must run. I must run far away from this place, never to return. I will be killed if anyone ever finds out what I have done. My life is gone. All I have is a small bundle of food and the clothes on my back to last me till I can find a new home.
I have been walking for days now. I haven't eaten, I haven't rested, and I haven't gotten the smell of blood off of me. I'm not sure just how long I have been walking, 4, 5, or maybe even six days, but I know I'm about to pass out from starvation and exaustion. I sat down by a large Oak tree, resting for the first time since it happened, and closed my eyes. I'm not sure just how long I was there, before I was awoken by a sound. It was a small sound, like a small branch cracking under pressure, but it was enough to put me on high alert.
"Come out! I know someone is there!" I yelled, hoping that whoever it was would just leave, for I was too tired to fight.
"What exactally is a little girl like you going to do if I don't?" Said the one that must have made the noise. I couldn't pin his location, because the sound came from all around me. I backed up to the tree to insure that nothing could attack me from the back, and called out again.
"Come out so I can see you!" I yelled out to him. All he said in reply was a very dark sounding laugh, one that sent chills down my spine. I could feel the air thickening with my fear. I did the only thing I could think to do. I ran. I could hear him chasing me, slowly catching up to me. I ran away from him blindly, narrowly avoiding trees, but getting hit by a lot of the branches. Ahead I could see a small amount of light. Hoping that it was a small clearing, I pushed myself faster. I finally reached the clearing. The man came out of the trees. He was tall, over 7 feet, and resembled a giant lizzard. I slowly backed away from him, and he laughed again. He looked me up and down, licking his lips.
"Yum, I will have a mighty fine meal tonight."
"In your dreams!" I yelled back at him, taking off, though I didn't get far. His tounge whipped out of his mouth, and slashed across my back, causing a deep gash. I tried to keep running, but the fatigue and the blood that I was already losing was too much for me. I could feel myself slowly falling to the ground, but I never hit. As I blacked out, the last thing that I saw was eyes the color of blood.
How was that for a second chapter? I was so excited coming back the day after I posted the first, and already had two reviews, that I just couldn't wait to keep writing. :] Thanks so much to -induviduality-has-a-name-me- and MyLifeInWhole for being my first two reviewers ever! :) Hope it was good.
