I'm running, blinded by hysterical tears, though a forest. Twigs snap under my bare, dirty, aching feet. The Trees rustle as creatures of the night move about their forest homes.
I stop only for a moment to wipe my eyes and listen for him. I don't know if he has given up yet, though seriously doubt it. I'd say he has a pretty good motivation.
I have to strain my ears to here over my frantic panting. Yes. He's still coming. And he's getting closer and closer still. Quickly, I scan the heavy thickets of Cedar trees. Where do I run? I don't have time for a plan. I just need to get away.
I can here the gentle thumping of his feet on the forest floor. That is all the motivation my adrenaline needs to start pumping even faster. My feet kick off the ground and I'm moving so fast that I'm gliding, absolutely weightless.
I'm sure I've gone at least a quarter mile. I stop again and turn back to listen again.
He is there.
Panting and heaving. Sweat is beaded over his forehead and upper lip. His eyes stare straight into mine and hold me in a trance. Though he doesn't say a single word, his eyes talk to me, telling me, "Don't Move. Don't even breath." and I don't. I hold absolutely still as he raises a hand to my face and thumbs my smearing makeup away. My breath is shallow.
He knows how terrified I am, "shh..." is he trying to comfort me? He moves his hand up to my hair and combs it with his slender fingers, "Now," he starts, "all I'm asking is that you come with me quickly and quietly. Then I can take you home and you will never see me again. Please."
I stand there, afraid to speak.
His eyes turn soft, "I promise, I never let any one die when they're with me."
I muster every bit of sanity to murmurer one simple word, "Okay."
Me smiles and I am released from the hypnosis, "My name is Todd Filler, assistant to the eperor, even the all mighty Xavier Rawle, ruler of all of the land of Quering."
