Hunted
She couldn't take it anymore, she had to run. Before he caught up to her. Who knows what he would do then.
No.
No.
No.
She couldn't think of that now. Too soon. to think of that. All she had to do was run.
Just run.
Leaping to her feet she dashed across the open field. The sound of horns behind her.
Don't think about that! Just run!
He would find her.
Hush. Don't think. Just run.
How could he not? He always did.
Do you hear the hounds?
No.
Then run. Make for the clearing in the woods. You'll be safe if you can make it. Hurry.
The clearing was only a hundred yards away all she had to do was step across the border of grass that separated the forest from the field. The horn blasted one more time and the sound of howling followed.
Just a little further.
Nipping at her heels.
Just run. Don't think. Hurry. The clearing.
Leaping through the boundary, hounds at her heels.
Not too long now. Don't stumble. Just run.
Light flooding the clearing. A pale figure standing in the light.
Hurry. he almost has you. Hurry. Just run.
The figure begins to run towards her reaching out a hand.
Hurry. You will be safe with me.
LEAP.
NOW.
