Bridget ran until she couldn't ran anymore. Panting and fighting off hunger pains and exhaughstion she collapsed at the base of a huge wide oak. Night settled over the quiet marsh quickly and Bridget was plunged into one of the darkest and coldest nights she had ever experienced. She rubbed her arms and shivered in the cold trying to stay warm. But it was useless. She looked up at the velvet sky filled with bright stars. She was safe for now. Though those men had followed her after she ran she had managed to lose them. She curled up and laid her head on a large root that was sticking out of the ground. If she survived the night she'd head back the way she had come and try and find her way back to town. Within a few minutes she could no longer keep her heavy eyelids open and she fell asleep.
