Present
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjLhUp6anb
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 pretty849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTSzHxjdY2
sure I was running for my life from whatever was chasing me. The air849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVcKkEor5A
around me was cold and there was fog everywhere. The full moon had come849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUjjkMEey6
up and it was as bright as ever. But its light wasn’t bright enough for849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIegLjRnAlR
it to illuminate around the forest because of the foliage of the tree849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEw5STjVAW
leaves above.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGM5KsUiXF
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 now849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw4nyZv2Z3
was clearly not the time to check myself. I could feel its presence and I849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNf1Ukd9ZB
knew it was coming closer and closer. I could tell it wanted me. I849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRxEzjuob
could tell it wanted to find me. I could tell it wanted to kill me.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CcDMiRf1b
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’t849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6kQOw1UoN
stop running and I wasn’t planning on doing so any way.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbH1aRQDTE
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 the849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CJB3FNdSl
adrenaline that spread throughout my body had kept me going for what849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtymMLPGJ3V
seemed liked hours.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICdH3AtGdy
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 whatever849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXXLQF7ex5
was after me had finally caught me. Before I could scream, a hand849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5xwi2UFwi
quickly covered my mouth and I could tell I was with a person, but it849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8AKsGaHFl
was too dark to even see who it was. I could tell it was a man because I849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT91vpNT9SB
could make out the person’s physique even in the darkness. I could feel849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0AWRd1M8
his other strong arm pin my whole body with my back against the tree849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50QbkcRMMx
that I couldn’t even move. The hand he used to cover my mouth was849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJb53xnhA9
quickly withdrawn. He put up his index finger and placed it to his lips849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxc7OXJ4MV
obviously telling me to be quiet. I silently nodded, and for once, my849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OuUNJ4Ub9
breathing slowed down and I felt my body relax a little. I could tell849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JjgDo0AvN
that no matter what, this man in front of me was only trying to protect849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJ4GUxjw2
me, but that didn’t mean I had forgotten about the danger around us.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9p45j1ltX
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 in849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl2av1UGWG
silence. Then a black shadow passed us and it was moving as fast as I849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc31v022JnL
could have ever imagined. The shadow was going to catch me, no doubt849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42l6koPwA
about that. Thank goodness the man came before anything happened.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg92lFfZxP
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 the849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBOdmUBZN8
hand and dragged me along with him to wherever we were going. He didn’t849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz36jxNcQWH
say a single word to me and it was best to keep quiet in these forests,849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JPuplAaGB
just in case the shadow ever found us. We soon came upon an open area849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4xyfPth8
with a few trees around, the moon shone brightly over us and I could see849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUX50oYZ5U
the man’s back but not his face. As I continued to look at him, I849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NKlZEiDTP
couldn’t help but feel that I know him. I wanted to see his face so849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphBqPprUqr
badly and curiosity took the better of me: I spoke.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7NrtTQGeI
“Do I know you?” I asked.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDtrQszZXE
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 out849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB7REokND6
of here.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ5hpfgHw2
“Now isn’t the right time for this,” he whispered, “and you better stop talking. We aren’t safe here.”
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTA5RFIP8
“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.”
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHvqbXvjF0
“Don’t thank me; we aren’t out of the forest yet.”
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmDGdpSxXt
I couldn’t help but say, “You sound very familiar, do I know you?”
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSMg5fKsFz
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:
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TH8OKkx5
“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.”
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z6L88DbwP
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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DEt28B1Qm
And I needed them right away.
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd7pZZ7YT7
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 feel849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4KSQbcNS
surprised and yet again happy when I saw his face. But some things849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKnC0foja
weren’t adding up though. How did he know where to find me in the first849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbaRWl9FHF
place?
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqU1L8VdDd
And why of all people did it have to be him?
