Twigs and branches snap under my feet as I run through the forest unsure of where I am or where to go or if I'm even near the village anymore.Rain continues to pour down and the only way of telling where I'm going is the flashes of light when bolts of lightning strike the earth with enormous amounts of electricity.The ground is sleek with mud and flowing water as i try to follow the trail of which the creature or person who owns the eyes has taken in order to escape my view.Eventually I loose them,I stop to try to see if I can get a glimpse of where they went or if I can find any indication of who or what they were but it is hopeless as the rain drowns every other sound out to point where I can't even hear my own thoughts.
Then it happened,I see a tall lengthy dark figure with glowing eyes,but not the eyes I was looking for instead I found the eyes of a nightmare,a creature that is the soul of a child who has died without peace and hungers for vengeance and now I'm face to face with one.Terrified,I run hoping to loose the creature,the storms gotten worse since I have entered the forest I can't see where I'm going even with the flashes of lightning illuminating my path.I hear the creature fighting it's way towards me,hungry for revenge against anyone and anything.I'm sprinting at this point with branches constantly hitting me and with continuous scratching from the terrain around me.The sound of thunder booms throughout the air and just as the noise stopped a tree plummets to the ground. trying to avoid being crushed by the falling sycamore I dodge it and continue running.I take the nearest left hoping to see the outside world but then i realize that I'm falling from the ledge from where i just stood.
When I hit the ground pain jolts through my spine and my head hits this softened ground as my arms and legs refuse to move,luckily they are not broken as i have broken my arms and legs before and this was not the feeling of broken limbs they were just paralyzed from the collision I lay their as the cold rain hits my face and as I feel a warm liquid trickle down my face and filling my mouth,it has a strong metallic taste and I soon recognize the substance,it's blood and I realize that this may be my end and that I may have the same fate just as she did eight years ago.I think back to the nightmare and about the green eyes, it brings me into horror as i think that she was the nightmare and that I only saw a glimpse of what used to be her and now may be doomed to watch herself kill those she loved,including myself.I want to cry knowing my best friend who once used to hold my hand through town with a radiant smile now was the one who tried to kill me and would most likely succeed.I lay their seeing the nightmare look for me trying to find my scent that is mostly masked by the rain but gives up only to miss the scent of blood that radiates off of me.I close my eyes waiting for the sweet release of death as I am laying their in pain as I remember my friends and come to reason why hope and faith came to my house and wonder how they'll react to my disappearance,I want to cry and run home but, I am to bruised and tired to move and i feel like my legs are broken.
I hear the sounds of crackling leaves one after another with hesitation in between each grouping of sounds,I open my eyes to see a black figure crouched down next me with fidgeting hands as if panicked. "It's going to be okay, The pain will ease soon." I assume the voice is one of a higher power telling me that death will take away the pain but I soon realize that its the figures voice but I cannot distinguish the gender of the speaker.Just as I fall into a deep sleep I saw their eyes,the painfully beautiful green eyes that brought me here in the first place. I smile,happy knowing I found their owner.
