Present
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwrS4uHZ0
Leaves and branches scratched my arms, face and other parts of my body as I ran along the dark wooded forest. I didn’t know where I was going, but I was pretty782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35fXW9kYZv
sure I was running for my life from whatever was chasing me. The air782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcgZlCRMK
around me was cold and there was fog everywhere. The full moon had come782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdrJDopiJX
up and it was as bright as ever. But its light wasn’t bright enough for782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBBhVaDrb0
it to illuminate around the forest because of the foliage of the tree782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmpic0IwtP
leaves above.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYFW7tZeOo
I ran, trying to dodge every branch and jump over any fallen log blocking my path. I had fallen over a log at some point and must have badly injured my knee, but now782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6sBIhqTxD
was clearly not the time to check myself. I could feel its presence and I782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0P0GMZJxl
knew it was coming closer and closer. I could tell it wanted me. I782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CfhhGthY7
could tell it wanted to find me. I could tell it wanted to kill me.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WxJ9qvBNa
Whenever I felt it coming closer, I would try to push myself and run a little faster. Sweat ran down my face and I was panting so much. No matter what, I couldn’t782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4blopqDub
stop running and I wasn’t planning on doing so any way.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiM9KORqoQ
This was just like those American horror or Africa Magic movies about witchcraft I had watched. I never thought I would be going though whatever happens in such movies in my life. Everything's so real and my heart pumped so fast that the782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXG4JhUJXp
adrenaline that spread throughout my body had kept me going for what782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiO3L02Kp3
seemed liked hours.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOSJihRXVR
All of the sudden, I felt something grab my waist and draw me a few steps back. I found myself pinned to the bark of a tree. For a moment, I thought whatever782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xx8TKoIo
was after me had finally caught me. Before I could scream, a hand782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyWqqFDU0A
quickly covered my mouth and I could tell I was with a person, but it782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2TzjZ8mZj
was too dark to even see who it was. I could tell it was a man because I782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMrFfTA5Qr
could make out the person’s physique even in the darkness. I could feel782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFirYjztaW
his other strong arm pin my whole body with my back against the tree782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qeEpMMrOP
that I couldn’t even move. The hand he used to cover my mouth was782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6huVAj39en
quickly withdrawn. He put up his index finger and placed it to his lips782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZCz51wSg
obviously telling me to be quiet. I silently nodded, and for once, my782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjrnLKADz1
breathing slowed down and I felt my body relax a little. I could tell782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVNIHa5zje
that no matter what, this man in front of me was only trying to protect782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVjlMwWSbn
me, but that didn’t mean I had forgotten about the danger around us.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkxyM9RnO5
A chilling sensation came over me. The feeling became stronger and I knew it was coming closer. The man still had me pinned to the tree and he just waited in782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWc91NhJPV
silence. Then a black shadow passed us and it was moving as fast as I782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeel7k0Wx7n
could have ever imagined. The shadow was going to catch me, no doubt782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42fhssdXta
about that. Thank goodness the man came before anything happened.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cA0rYxSku
A few seconds later, the chilling sensation had subsided and I couldn’t help but feel relived. The man’s hand that held me to the tree loosened and he took me by the782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9i78Arw2f
hand and dragged me along with him to wherever we were going. He didn’t782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxjGAGxLG
say a single word to me and it was best to keep quiet in these forests,782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87FmTRx2W
just in case the shadow ever found us. We soon came upon an open area782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMFLiSnw6
with a few trees around, the moon shone brightly over us and I could see782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e5IcKJEm9
the man’s back but not his face. As I continued to look at him, I782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHi658qGsx
couldn’t help but feel that I know him. I wanted to see his face so782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSnXRjNpcg
badly and curiosity took the better of me: I spoke.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qX4eHCkqK
“Do I know you?” I asked.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjr6Exrn4
The man stopped walking and I bumped into his back. I felt his body go rigid because of my question. I hoped I hadn’t upset him. He was the only key to getting out782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHghaQwHR5
of here.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a6c9yyoVG
“Now isn’t the right time for this,” he whispered, “and you better stop talking. We aren’t safe here.”
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzbWjlnHTV
“I just wanted to know who are you, that’s all,” I whispered. “I want to thank you for what you did for me back there.”
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3L8xRB8L2
“Don’t thank me; we aren’t out of the forest yet.”
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDTW38aho8
I couldn’t help but say, “You sound very familiar, do I know you?”
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvhUHw6yfV
For a moment there was only silence and all I could do was stare at the back of the man who had saved me. He sighed out heavily and he finally spoke:
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MicqjL6kQ
“Knowing you, you aren’t going to give up so easily, asking the same question just to annoy me. You’re always so persistent and stubborn, Diana.”
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3klfIptAmj
It was now my turn for my body to go rigid. I stared at him with shock. How did he know my name? How did he know I was persistent and stubborn? I needed answers.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWrZCNmCRT
And I needed them right away.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWxL0keZXq
I didn’t have to ask the questions that were running around my head as the man immediately turned to face me. My jaw suddenly dropped and I couldn’t help but feel782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElrfVgiqcD
surprised and yet again happy when I saw his face. But some things782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK50fMeKQjn
weren’t adding up though. How did he know where to find me in the first782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ49pk4MhCO
place?
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHsjIb5uPz
And why of all people did it have to be him?
