I was walking through the woods, the night air crisp in my nostrils the moon being the only thing lighting my way everything was quiet, to quiet but then I started to hear whispering, Faint whispering I listened  trying to make it out. Then something sprinted past me once, twice drawing closer each time  the whispering getting louder and louder  the closer the thing got to me so I ran, I ran as fast as I could through the cold dark air my hair smacking against my face as I start to sob out of fear the whispering I still could not make out there was to many of them to understand. I feel something try to grab me from behind its footsteps smacking the wet forest floor behind mine the whispers get louder turning into  shouting, the air hurts my lungs I can't breath my face is frozen from the wind hitting my tear soaked face he's right behind me he swings for me again causing me to let out a small noise of fear. I trip the shouting stopping as I hit the ground, I turn around as fast as I can ready to fight whatever was chasing me but I'm once again alone, everything's quiet I look around to find that I tripped into an opening I look up staring at the moon, it's full I look around the woods but don't see anything until suddenly, I see it, a dark figure far into the distance of the trees I could almost hear it breathing then  the moon blinked off, just for a couple seconds, I panic but it soon flicks back on bringing him closer  I sit there frozen it flicks off again longer this time I can feel my heart in my throat, back on, again he's closer, then it doesn't turn back on...But I can hear him...closing in, his breathing deep and hollow...I close my eyes wishing It would just go away but right as I do someone (a girl) screams as loud as she could a blood curdling shriek that made me cover my ears and sob harder then I already was "what's going on?" it sounded like it was just a couple feet away I squeeze my eyes tighter biting down on the inside of my mouth trying to wake myself up then it's cold hands  clamped around my throat I flung my arms and went to scream but couldn't because I felt as if I was drowning...then I awoke...
