Hunter
I could hear my heartbeat in my ear loudly pounding at me as I forced my body forward. My feet slapped against the leaf covered forest ground and I was panting heavily. Breath, I needed breath.
But I couldn't stop.
I had no clue where I was nor did I know much about how I got there but I knew I had to get out.
My throat was drying and I could hear his footsteps behind me as I fought back sobs of absolute terror.
I was beginning to outrun him. I could tell because the sound of his steps was losing volume much to my relief and as I progressed I felt my jumping heart warm with hope. I might get away. I might survive.
A smile nearly blossomed onto my face but the cuff of my jeans got caught on a protruding twig that must've fallen off the tree and I gasped as I fell to the ground.
I let out a loud call of pain when my hands were slightly cut by the other sharp broken branches and I felt tears pricking at the corner of my eyes. Even worse though was when there was this blinding pain from my stomach and I did scream in the slightest.
Sweat was beginning to break out on my skin as I squeezed my eyes shut and grit my teeth, fuming in pain. My breath turned into sobs and I rolled onto my back. I sat up and had to cover my mouth to keep my cries of pain in check as I felt not only a pain in my ankle but a burning, a stinging, on my abdomen. As I was up I felt a wave of dizziness and I heard his footsteps again. I felt dread developing inside of me. I was sick to my absolute stomach. I had to hide since I could hardly move to find a hiding spot let alone run. I crawled barely towards a big tree and rest against it tiredly as the sound of leaves crunching got closer.
I swallowed. My head went back on the tree and I rest my eyes a brief moment. My stomach. I opened my eyes again and looked down at my shirt. I didn't need to lift it to know it was bleeding since the red liquid was already bleeding through the white material. Still, I needed to see the wound. Tears began to spill from my eyes slowly as I gathered the material by its bottom and rolled it up a bit, refraining from loudly sobbing as I saw the awful gash in my side.
I didn't have organs or intestines falling out, but it was bleeding badly and the flesh got pretty torn. It was so awful looking. I wanted to throw up, not even just at this sight, but I was so, so scared.
The footsteps were louder, but slower and when he spoke my fear sky rocketed as I leaned back against the tree, keeping my mouth shut while my body began to shake with restrained sobs.
"Li Li," he called for me. I brought a hand to my mouth, not wanting to make a sound. I should've been getting moving but I was so helpless. I was bleeding and then there was my ankle that impaired my leg movement. "Where are you, darling?" the voice continued.
I sniffled quietly and tried to think in my mind of how to get away. I needed to escape and find safety, that's all I thought.
"Come on out, my love," he said.
I shook my head at the different pet names and all he was attaching to me. "Come out, come out wherever you are," he sang before laughing sadistically.
My body began to shake as his voice got increasingly louder. "I can't say I won't hurt you, though; sadly."
I was breaking down as tears were pouring from my eyes and my arms were holding me themselves because I was so terrified.
"Okay, okay let's play a game then," he told me, his voice becoming less playful and deeper. "I'm sure you're familiar with it." I began to crawl away from the tree I was at. "It's called hide and seek," he continued. "I'll close my eyes and you get thirty seconds to run, love." I got on my knees and squeaked. My hands felt pain from the debris beneath me. "I'd suggest running as fast as you can."
My breathing was shaky as I managed to stand, once again to my feet. I could only limp, sadly wincing with every step. I wiped sweat from my face as I could only hear a ringing in my ears and my heart that beat loudly while I counted mentally.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I pushed branches aside and felt my nose run.
9, 10, 11, 12...
I wiped my nose and sniffled as I continued to hobble. Thirty seconds. I had thirty seconds.
16, 17, 18-
I tripped over something and fell over with a scream, my sight shifting from an image of escape to that of the ground that scratched my bare hands which tried to hold me up. My wrists felt an awful pain from the weight as I cried out from the pain.
"I guess I cheated," a voice murmured behind me and I gasped loudly.
"No," I said as my ankle was grabbed. My fingers grabbed at the dirt, dragging on them when he pulled. I kept clawing at it, shaking my head. "No, no, no, no!" My expression crumpled into one of despair as I shrieked loudly and tried to get away. I kicked back at him and he grunted as my leg was released briefly. I attempted to get back up, wheezing.
"The itsy bitsy spider ran up the water spout," he sang. I got halfway up but was stopped. He sang with force as I was struck with what might've been a branch. "DOWN came the rain and washed the spider out."
I screamed and was wailing in defeat on the ground, eyes closed in fear. My body shook and my hair hid me in my weakness.
"Out came the sun and dried away the rain." I was turned over onto my back crying out, "No!"
I rest on my elbows, raising myself. I opened my eyes and faced him my mouth agape in horror as I recognized him.
He lowered himself so he hovered over me and he whispered getting directly before my face. I was too paralyzed with terror and shock I could only shake in my place. His jade eyes were alight with a chilling almost tranquil craze as he whispered with a smirk, "So the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again."
And then my vision blackened.

I NEED TO COVER A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS STORY.
1. I'm writing like 50 other stories (not really that many lol) and I will be trying to make those stories my main priorities, but I've only recently become familiar with outlining stories and so since I outlined this one it's really not that hard for me to write which is why I've written more for this in the past few weeks than I've written for lots of my other stories in the past few months.
2. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HARRY STYLES FANFIC, BUT BEFORE HE ENTERS THE STORY THE MAIN MALE LEADS ARE MARCEL (yes from BSE who tf else) AND THE KING THE PROPHET TH MIGHTY ZAYN MALIK. (Azen) SO HARRY GIRLS HOLD ON TIGHT AND ENJOY THE CUTE MARCEL LOL. But... yeah lots of characters die, do despicable things and all that so if you are emotionally sensitive PLEASE READ ON WITH CAUTION. I literally did the most (or tried) with illustrating how shit goes down and just WRONG in this story.
3. I'm a Harmonizer+Mixer so lol I don't use the actual girls tbfh, bUT I do use them as the "actresses" and kinda base their "characters" off the girls. You'll know who's who either by looking in the cast or you can easily guess yourself lol.
4. I don't know anything about college, let alone like unis and stuff in England so I created a fictional college and hopefully no one has a problem with it. If I had the proper resources and knew how to use them I might be able to use more accurate info, but since I don't IF I SAY THERE ARE FOOD COURTS AND LIKE IDK PETTING ZOOS AT UNIS DON'T THINK THAT'S SOME REAL LIFE EUROPEAN SHIT BC IT'S PROBABLY NOT. I also don't know a lot about a bunch of other things but you know aye I'm only 15 give me a fucking break.
I think that's it? But yeah, I want to add this (I hope @tomlinswag doesn't mind me practically taking the words out of her mouth for her copyright/disclaimer I love her). But before I say that, in case her words don't get it across, any shameful things a 1D member might do I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM WOULD DO BC THIS IS 100% FICTION OK OK OK IF YOU DON'T GET THAT THEN (as a wise curly haired lad once said) GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN.
