~~BLURB~~ Heavy panting could be heard as a girl ran through the wood barefooted. Prickles pierced into her legs and blood began oozing out of the wound but that didn't stop her from running. No matter what, she must get away from him. Not even him. It!!! She looked back and saw him coming. He was walking slowly and his eyes shone a bright shade of red. He had a smirk on his face and she gasped looking forward. She increased her pace running insanely. She saw a hunter and she ran to him immediately. She asked for help and he turned to the creature. He raised his axe and began running towards him. The man smirked raising his hand. He snapped his fingers and the man's head fell off followed by his arms and legs. Blood came out from all those parts of his body and Ariel screamed. She began her run and she sighted a cave. She diverted to another route running into the cave. She put the rocks she found on the ground to cover the entrance of the cave. She breathe out and then she froze. She felt a cold aura behind her and she turned slowly. She screamed loudly when she saw him and she fell on her butt. Shock was written all over her face as she wondered. How did he get in? "You think you can hide little girl?" His cold voice said and she peed in her pants immediately. ~~~~ Ariel Chen, a college student, has experienced tragedy in her past.
