The scariest thing that ever happend !
The scariest thing that ever happened
06/09/12
I turned around, I could see a shadow lurking behind me but still nobody was to be seen, my heart was racing adrenaline pumping around my shaking petrified body, I knew he was back there waiting for me watching my every move, he had control of me my life it was in his hands. Sweat dripped from my brow like morning dew my shaking hands constantly disobeyed my orders for them to stop shaking, questions rushed through my brain like a raging river, where is he? what does he want ? why am i being hunted ?
As I slowly crept forward I heard the gentle crunching of the dried leaves behind me, I knew he was on my tail, my body told me to run and scream for help but i knew this would only make things worse, I was yelling at myself, telling my self to make a decision , but my mind didn’t seem to be processing any thoughts. My head was just spinning i was confused i didn’t know how to react, suddenly I heard a sudden movement I turned around but it was too late my nemesis had engulfed me, I hit the ground hard, a sharp pain shot up my back, everything was happening so quickly, I then felt a cold leathery hand clasp the back of my neck as he pulled me down to the floor he was now on top of me, a tiny bit of moonlight pierced the darkness as I saw him raise the blood crusted knife, my body started to panic what was I going to do I had to do something and fast !
