My legs were running as fast as they could, my breath coming out ragged as I tried to inhale as much air as possible. My lungs and legs burned with every step I took. Branches and leaves whipped harshly against my face as I raced through them. I could feel the thorns cutting through my dress and my flesh, but I didn’t care.
This was my only chance to escape from my written fate, and I needed to get as far away as possible. The sounds of my footsteps pounding on the forest ground and my heavy breathing were the only things I could hear.
I glanced over my shoulder, checking if he was already coming for . Relief washed over when I noticed that there was no one coming after . By the ti I refocused my gaze on the view in front of , my foot had already got caught in a root that was sticking out from the ground.
I tripped, and a cry escaped from my throat as I rolled over the wet slope ground like a snowball. A thud echoed through the air before my grimace followed. Everything seed to blur for a mont as sharp pain shot up from my leg, radiating up my spine.
A whimper escaped my lips as I stood up to my feet. Luckily, I didn’t sustain any severe injuries except the few cuts sustained all over my body. I turned around, staring at the steep slope that I had just rolled from.
There was no ti to waste. Without another thought, I took to my heels again, even though I had no idea where I was heading. As I ran deeper into the forest, the air thickened, the stumps of the trees appeared bigger, so twisting in an unnatural way. The forest seems to be darker and eerily quiet, with no sign of life.
My steps faltered slightly as my eyes scanned my surroundings, a red blaring sound echoing through my head. I felt cold shivers racing through my spine, the hairs on my body standing on their ends.
I looked back again, and there was still no trace of Damon. Part of was grateful, while the other was getting scared of the spooky forest.
I cautiously walked, heading further into the woods. ’Should I turn back?’ one part of my mind echoed in my head. ’Hell nah, if I should go back, I will get captured by the arrogant Alpha. And he is going to punish for trying to escape,’ the other part of my mind reasoned.
’But this place is so creepy... maybe I should turn back and take another route.’ With that, I decided to turn around, but imdiately I did, I heard eerie laughter coming from all directions.
I turned around, but I couldn’t see anything. My panic level skyrocketed, cold beads of sweat forming around the back of my neck. I was never a fan of horror movies. Being here and hearing this evil laughter made feel like I was in one.
"Who is there?" I yelled, my voice dripping with fear.
But there was no answer. My lips stretched into a silent cry. ’Father Lord God, please let this be my imagination,’ I prayed for the first ti in my life.
My head snapped to my right side when I heard the rustling of the bushes. My legs suddenly backed away, moving on their own. My eyes fixated on the direction the noise was coming from.
But right then, I felt sothing wet dropping on my face. I froze in my spot. There was no sign of rain, so where did the liquid co from?
My hand shakily touched the spot where it had landed. When I brought my finger down to see what it was, my breath hitched when I saw it was a black liquid. Its pungent sll hit my nostrils, almost making throw up.
It slled like it had decayed for a long ti. But why did this liquid fall from the sky? As if ti had slowed, I slowly raised my head, staring at the sky.
AAARRRGGHH!
A blood-chilling scream escaped from my throat, echoing through the eerily quiet forest. My body trembled as I stared at the lifeless bodies hanging on the trees, their bodies seed to have decayed for a few days.
When I turned around, staring at the canopy of the trees, I noticed dead bodies were hanging on every single branch of the trees.
I felt dizzy, the world almost tilting in my eyes. ’If you dare collapse right now, I’m going to kill you myself,’ a female voice echoed through my head. I had no idea what it was, but thanks to it, I was able to regain consciousness. Without another thought, I dashed around, retracing my steps.
The laughter ca again. "God, please, please, protect ," I cried as I ran so fast that my feet were barely touching the ground.
A root caught my foot, causing to fall to the ground, but I quickly scrambled back on my feet again, running with all the strength I had left. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. The pounding of my heart pulsing in my ears, my ragged breath filling the air. My body drenched with cold sweat.
My feet skidded through the dirt, forcing myself to co to a halt when I saw sothing in front of on all fours, backing . Its tattered black rags swept through the dirt. My heart hamred in my ears. ’Now what the hell is that?’ I thought, backing slowly away from it. But my eyes didn’t leave its body for a second.
When the creature turned around—black eyes, wrinkled skin, black long nails, black rotten teeth, brown unkempt hair—I couldn’t actually tell the real color of the hair. Was it black hair turned brown from dirt, or dirty dark brown? Well, that wasn’t the pressing matter for now.
The creature, a human I supposed, rose up, straightening her back. She cracked her neck, her eyes gleaming with pure bad intention didn’t leave my body for a second. Her lips widened into a chilling smile.
