I don't remember ever running so fast in my life. I don't even remember what happened, all I remember was pushing him as I ran out of the bathroom into the room I was kept in. I looked around, dazed by adrenaline. I heard his footsteps behind me, they got closer I ran to the door, pulling the door wide open deeply cutting my arm in the process I didn't notice it much due to the adrenaline.
I looked behind me and saw Beyond's shadow. Oblivious to my complete lack of clothing I hopped down a set of wooden stairs. As I came to the last few steps I noticed two doors and a hallway. I opened to the one on the left, since it was closer, and went inside making sure to close the door behind me.
I looked around the room, there was nothing but a King bed with a bedskirt and a bedside table. I crawled under the bed curling myself into a ball. I stifled my breathing waiting for Beyond to enter. "Please. Please don't walk in here, please don't find me" I said in between breaths, tears beginning to roll down my face.
I must have been there for at least 10 minutes. Just as I thought I was safe, and was about to relax...the door opened. I held my breath. I peered out through the crack between the floor and bedskirt. It was Beyond. He carried a knife, not the small pocket knife he carried before, but a large butcher's knife. I began to tear up at the sight. "Juuuliiie..." He sang. "Come out, come out wherever you are." I curled up tighter, believing I had a chance he wouldn't find me, then I looked at my bleeding arm, and the trail it left behind.
