The Silent Ones [EDITING]

Chapter 1

Scared? Of course I'm scared. I have no one to talk to, my family left me. What even got me here in the forest with these dead leaves crunching beneath my weight? My fears, It's time for me to face my fears. Time for me to do something I've been longing for, for a very long time.

Something told me it was time. Time for me to let my true colors show. I wish I could ignore what I felt. It's tearing me apart, she's tearing me apart. I wish I could talk to her but what if I mess up, or worse, scare her away.

I've seen her in stores, libraries, restaurants, and yet she still doesn't even notice me! What am I doing wrong? What can I do to get her to become close? Those are my thoughts all day, every day.

Maybe I could get a job at that one donut shop, what is it called? Oh right, Puffy Creme. She goes there every morning before work at 6.

I tripped over a tree stump. A stick pierced my knee, not deep enough to cause too much damage though. Dammit! I got a hole in my new pants. I bit my lip to ease the pain. I made sure that I didn't make too much noise. I got up and felt blood trickling down my leg.

I took my backpack off and dug around for my first aid kit. I grabbed a disinfectant wipe and dabbed the area clean, then I put a bandaid on the small wound. After walking for what it seems as hours, I took a break. I found a log that looked comfortable enough to sit on. Okay, what are my plans for this one?

I think I'll get a job at Puffy Creme, then we will get to know each other. We will become best friends and hang out on a daily basis. I can meet everyone she knows and when there is no threat, I'll take her. 

My plan sounded like it could work. I fixed my hair and walked to where the public could see me. Can they tell? I can't afford to let anyone know who I am, I've already been to jail once. Never again. Can they smell fear? If they could, I should have been dead long ago.
