I couldn't believe it. i laid still under the night sky, feeling my life force drain away from the gaping hole in my stomach. Where did i go wrong? i looked up into the moon, she seemed to be mocking me. up there. The snap of branch caught my attention. I swiveled my eyes over to my right. Where more rustling ensued. my leaden lids met with vibrant gold ones irises. a wolf? coyote? I'm going to die alone and eaten by some scavenging beast. Please just let me die first.

"wolf?" I croaked to myself, fear dripped from my voice like poison that would kill me. who knew that this is the way i would die? i didn't know yesterday, when he insisted we should visit these woods, i didn't know an hour ago when he came over and cajoled me into leaving the safety of my house, and i certainly didn't see the glint of the dagger in the moonlight as he ran into me. so there I laid, dying. I looked over in the direction of the gold eyes, and in a blink, it disappeared off into the darkness. 

Just how long do I have to wait for death to come?

God, you there? Please, grant me a second chance. I know I haven't been very religious and you have every right to send my soul plummeting to hell, but please, send me to the deepest part of hell if I survive this. I sent a silent prayer to the man upstairs

My vision dipped and wavered, signaling that the quiet blanket of unconsciousness was coming, but right before i closed my eyes, the moon seemed to pulse a silver response.
