I am the darkness,
that accompanies a new moon.

I am the burnt out street lights,
leaving no light to guide you home.

I am the faint sound of footsteps,
behind you.

I am the uneasy feeling that you are being followed,
stalked.

I am the footsteps getting louder,
closer.

I am your heartbeat,
picking up speed.

I am your mind racing,
racing in fear.

I am realization,
of what’s going on.

You are being hunted.

I am your feet pounding on the pavement,
as you run for your life.

I am the blood,
pounding in your ears.

I am the adrenaline,
pushing you faster,
but not fast enough…

You are cornered,
trapped with no escape.

I am the glint in the hunter’s eyes,
as he takes a step closer.

I am the goose bumps on your neck,
the shiver up your spine.

I am his hand,
brushing your cheek.

I am your scream,
cutting into the silent night.

I am his hand,
clamping over you mouth.

I am the echo your scream left behind
not nearly loud enough.

I am the courage you find buried deep inside,
as you kick him in the gut.

I am his groan as he falls to the pavement,
giving you hope,
hope of escape.

You are running away,
escaping.

I am the crippling devastation that hits you as he grabs your ankle,
and pulls you down with him.

I am the pavement,
scraping your hands.

I am the glint of something silver and sharp,
in the hunter’s right hand.

I am fear,
clenching your stomach.

I am his insane smile,
that makes your blood run cold.

I am the knife,
driving into your body again…
and again…
and again…

I am pain,
pure and simple.

I am your blood,
pooling all around you.

I am his maniacal laugh,
as he leaves you to bleed.

I am the fuzziness,
that starts to take over.

I am the unavoidable truth,

You are dying.

I am the cold rain that begins to fall,
mixing with your blood,

I am your wishes,
your dreams,
your world,
falling apart.

I am your final breath.

I am the darkness closing in.

I am you eyes fluttering closed,
for the very final time.

Earth to Hanna...

No, I was not kiddnapped by aliens, or locked in the freezer at work.
I know it has been forever since I have been on here, but I've been pretty busy, and unmotivated to really do anything.

But I do have something to tell you all...
Sadly I will not be continuing with Lyla's story, at least not for now. It's just too much baggage for me right now. I do have a couple radom chapters written, but they aren't in order. It's basically just a couple of pages of possible ways/scenarios that she could've ended up in. I may post them, but I might not. It really depends what you guys want.

Now, I'm not really giving up on her forever, just for now. Who knows, maybe one day I'll come back to it, but for now I think I'm going to fall back onto my short stories, and things like that.

Hopefuly I will be back on here soon. I hope you guys are all doing well :)
