She kept her eyes focused on the area that the rustle had came from, she started to think she had imagined it when out of the bushes emerged someone completely adorned in black. She shot up from the ground, her legs aching in pain from holding her tiny body, she couldn't bear the thought of running so instead she said " Le-leave me alone, don't come near me".<br/>Her voice came out in a whisper, the fear of what was going to happen to her was over whelming, images were running through her mind of terrible things that could happen. She was hoping she was over reacting, that they were going to see her and leave.<br/><br/>She suddenly realised what was now running through her veins, adrenaline, yes. This was her chance to get away, she turned away from him and started to run as fast as she could through the forest, she swiftly dodged through trees and jumped over obstacles on the ground, she quickly turned and ducked down behind a tree, she didn't know if he had followed her, or seen where she had gone but that get away was her last chance, after this she would do what he wanted. The adrenaline had worn off and she was feeeling the effects of running with no energy.<br/><br/>She slumped her back against the tree, closed her eyes and attempted to steady her breathing.<br/>She realised now what a stupid thing it was to close her eyes, over tiredness got the better of her and she ended up falling to sleep, she didn't really have control over when she went to sleep now a days. She slept when her body decided to. Not her mind.<br/>The sleep wasn't peaceful, it was ridden with terrible, horrible dreams, that occassionally made her scream out.<br/>That's how it always was, that's why she avoided it most nights and continued to look for food instead. She obviously wasn't very good at it though, she had never been taught to hunt and she was clumsy and noisy when she tried.
