Past - 6

"Come on I think I can find a flower if we go a little inside." He dragged me along. "There's nothing to be afraid of. You have me, babe."

"Fine. But we need to be careful, in places like these, there may be some gangs looking to loot the passerby." Even though she was feeling happy but a part in her heart was alarming her to be careful.

"Chill, Babe." His hand remained tightly around her, making it go numb. They reached just outside the forest, one step more and they would be inside the forest. "Wow. It is so dark in there, I do not think we could even see our hands if we go inside."

"You know, we could come back here tomorrow during the day and then you could see better and pick a flower for me." Now the alarms inside Regina were ringing and warning her to leave. It was now making her paranoid. She glanced over her shoulder in fear that someone was lurking around. It was a ridiculous fear, but she could not shake the feeling that someone was watching them.

"I wonder if there is anyone capable of living inside in here." While Jason was murmuring to himself, Regina heard something crunched behind her, as if someone stepped on a dry tree branch.

Perhaps her mind was playing tricks on her she thought, her paranoia was making her listen to things that were scaring her more.

"Jason, did you hear that?" She whispered to him.

"Hear what?" he asked.

"I think someone is standing behind us." Saying that she turned to look over her shoulder but something blinded her vision, she felt something around her head and something painfully tightening around her throat.

She panicked and shouted."Ahh!"

She swung her arms around and tried to punch whoever was behind her but she felt a massive arm squeeze around her shoulders and hold her in place while the bag was tied around her throat. "Get off me!"

"Regina!" Jason's frantic voice came from a distance away. He moaned when someone struck him, and she heard the sound of something falling on the ground.

"Jason!" Despite her own situation, she feared for his safety. "Jason!"

"Shut up bitch." A terrifying voice entered her ears that she had never heard before.

She kicked with her legs.

"Fuck!" The man shook her aggressively then threw her hard on the ground. "You fucking bitch."

She immediately got up on her feet and tried to run away, but a heavy body slammed on top of her. "Let me go, asshole!"

Suddenly someone caught her head tightly and then she felt a needle piercing inside her neck.

Instantly, she could not think. She tried to move her arms, but they would not respond. Her head started getting dizzy, her eyes growing heavy inside the hood. Her legs started becoming unresponsive as her consciousness started preparing to fade away from her body.

She fought it as hard as she could, but it faded away at the end.
