The dim light from the moon was all Swan had as she ran as fast as she could. Her footsteps loud on the pavement. Her heart in her mouth. She was making so much noise, why couldn't anyone hear her. She was too scared to scream so the monster after her wouldn't hear her. But she doubted that would change anything because she could hear him getting closer.

She ran faster, but her legs were getting weak. On and on she ran with only trees surrounding her. A street light flickered and went off by her side.
"Where is everyone" she thought "someone help!!" She screamed.

Her voice echoed around her, mocking her.

Her lungs burned and it felt like she would pass out anytime soon. But she couldn't let that happen. Tears blurred her vision as she thought of what would happen if this monster caught her.

She shivered involuntarily.

He was getting closer. She turned to the left; a road, maybe she could get help.

She ran on, hard and fast. Not looking at the ground beneath her, she tripped on a can. Her legs hit the ground hard and she scrapped her knees. Blood flowed freely from the wound. But she couldn't sit to nurse it.

He was just a few steps from her. His large knife dripping with blood. His face tight with anger and hatred, ready to devour her whole. Tightening her resolve, she thought "I'd rather die than let you have me"

She jumped up and ran into the road just as a huge truck was passing, all she remembered was her head hitting the road before darkness descended.

This is a new story I'm working on. Inspired by a movie. Not the same though. But please remember to vote, comment and share. Thanks y'all
