I ran. 

That's all I did. I just ran and ran, never stopping, even as my legs grew sore and numb I just ran. My breathing heavy as I ran further into this deep forest. 

Jumping over broken branches, huge stones and dodging under low tree branches. 

I grew tired, but I was determined to live. To let those I love live. I wanted to stop, but as the tears continued to fall from my determined face, I continued. Wind rushing into my face, hair, arms. Attempting to slow me down.

The home I once knew, now far behind me in ashes.

Something is after me. 

And it's getting closer, I was slowing because of my aching legs. 

'Why?! Why didn't I just listen!? Why did this have to happen?!' I thought, screaming at myself for my stupidity. 

But then hit me. I tripped and fell into a dark void, hitting my head hard on stone. Blood gushing out. I lost consciousness and fell. I went from running to falling. 

'Now I'm dead...'

1 hour earlier....

"Jade! Get your ass down here and load the dishwasher!" yelled mum from downstairs. 

I was drawing quietly in my room, headphones blasting rock music into my ears. My brown hair unbound and bed hair. I was wearing loose clothes, a crop top underneath. 

And yes, I'm a girl.

I nodded my head as I drew a shadow casting over people. I was pretty proud of my work. But I would be prouder if it could come to life!

Imagine that! A shadow monster! Jumping out of the page and raging at everyone! 

I snickered at the thought, I felt joyous at the thought. Well, that feeling slipped from my grasp as someone yanked off my headphones, pulling an earring on my ear.

I winced and whirled around. 

"Hey! What do you-" I was cut off by a slap across my face. It was my mother standing there, cross armed and a stern, disappointed look across her face.

"I told you to get downstairs!" my mother hissed at me, glaring. "I will confiscate these off of you!"

I nodded meekly and stood up, making my way downstairs until my mother shouted, "Hey! What are you doing!?"

I turned and pointed downstairs.

Mother continued to glare and pointed to my room, I walked back there and sat on my bed. 

"You are grounded!" mother growled.

I lowered my head I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

What did I do?!

Mother left the room after shutting the door. I walked back to my desk and drew once again.

I wish this could come to life...

I narrowed my eyes and peered closer, I swore that the drawing moved slightly. I shrugged and walked to my bed, flopping down on it and falling asleep again.

30 minutes later...

I was awoken by a huge grumbling sound, a shaking house and a death curdling scream. I sat up, only to smell smoke and see the house beginning to burn. I ran out of my room, covering my mouth and nose with another shirt I had and ran downstairs. 

Only to find my mother in a dark shadowed monster's arms. Her lifeless body flipping about. I watched in horror as the monster slowly turned to me and a horrid bloody smile was spread across it's face.

I stepped back a little and searched for an exit.

The front door!

Without hesitation I bolted. 

The sound of something slithering was coming fast behind me, I dared a look back and that monster was following me. Keeping that smile on it's face. It's deep red eyes were haunting me, I couldn't get them out of my head.

But I continued running. For my life depended on it. 

But here I am. Laying, unconscious on the ground, in a pool of my own blood, no doubt the monster staring hungrily at me.

Goodbye world.
