Cruelest Mind

*10 years ago*

I ran like I'd never run before. Even though my lungs hurt like hell and my legs were feeling heavy like lead, I kept on running. I could not lose the game, it would not be good for me if I did. So I kept on running through the dark forest. I was running for my life, yes my life was a game. I soon reached a tall tree with overhanging leaves. Quickly, I ducked under and hoped that he wouldn't find me here. Maybe this time I'd win the game. I sat down on the wet grassy ground and waited. Birds tweeted and a stream flowed nearby. My heart raced like a hurricane but a small smile was on my lips. Then suddenly I heard loud footsteps like those of a giant. I swear I felt the ground shake. I froze and silently prayed that he'd carry on. He came to a stop in front of the tree.

"Honey, come out, wherever you are,"he purred.

I gritted my teeth and covered my mouth, hoping he'd move on. A second later he began walking and i felt such deep relief. I stood up after a minute and made my way out of the tree. Then I felt arms thick as logs lock around me and pull me off the ground.

Oh no. I'd lost.

"Those pink shoes are a tell sweetheart. I caught you, now what should I do with you?"

No. No. No
