Staying low to the ground, on one knee, bracing myself to run, but where to run? I know I'm in a forest but where? I hear a stick crack to the right of me, I turned my head to the noise and noticed it's just a small creature, scurrying through the forest. Breathing slowly, I see my breath come out into the cool air. I realized it's cold outside but I don't feel it. I take a quick look around my surroundings and see orange, yellow, leaves laying on the ground all around me. I have to be careful when I begin to move again. Nothing but trees stretched out as far as the eyes can see... Another noise sounds, I look to my left, birds flying through the trees going about their normal routine. I have no idea where I am, or who I am trying to hide from. What am I doing here? Where do I go next? I willed myself to move but something in me was telling me I can't move yet, they're watching and waiting... But who? and Why? Why would they be after me I am a nobody. Another stick Cracks behind me, I whip my head around to look and see a doe walking out slowly to the little bit of opening I'm currently residing in. The doe looks at me for a few seconds, as if just realizing I am here. The doe then continues walking slowly away, I guess they just decided I wasn't a threat. Which I wasn't. I can never hurt a helpless or innocent animals, let alone I hate the thought of kicking a dog even if it was out to chop on me and tear me apart. Then, I heard it, the crunching of leaves coming from both sides of me, running feet in the distance.. I quickly get up and run straight ahead of me. Jumping over fallen trees, dodging trees, avoiding thick bushes, and small gopher Holes or rabbit holes. I Zoom through the forest, while the sound of foot steps almost fading away from behind me. It feels like I'm gliding smoothly and soundlessly through the forest. As if I was weightless. I keep on running smoothly, without bumping or tripping into anything, which amazes me. Soon, I see a small river running through my path, it must be about, 10 to 15 feet wide, the water was low, easy to walk through, as I get near I prepared my body for a leap. I fly through the air with incredible speed. Excitement cursed through me like a tide wave, filling me with joy as I am surprised by my own speed and strength to easily clear over 15 feet in one leap of faith, but before I can touch the ground on the other side of the river, my body is slammed into another's body and I go rolling and hit my back against a tree, someone quickly grabs unto my neck Squeezing before I can even open my eyes and catch my breath... I wake up....
