I’m gathering some broken limbs from the tall orange and red leafed trees, and some dry brush to start a fire with. My husband was down by the stream getting some water for us to boil, drink, and also for me to cook with. He’s asked for me to meet him back at the camp in about ten minutes, where we’d stopped for the rest of the day seeing as we’d just traveled for two days straight from our small village. The horses were getting tired and so were we. As I’m walking back to the camp I can see I’ve strayed far from the path and couldn’t remember where it was. When I yell for my husband thinking maybe he can hear me I start hearing leaves being rustled behind me. I turn around but I don’t see anything. I start walking to where I think the path is and I get the eerie feeling I’m being watched. I continue walking and finally find the road again. I get to where we’re camping at, and put the brush and twigs along with some small logs down, and start a fire. There’s some fish and rabbit along with some potatos and carrots that were from our small garden back at home. Getting everything ready for when Colin gets back from the stream I hear him walking and humming as he comes to me. Colin walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and sits his face in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent. “You smell beautiful my dear, I gathered as much water as I could for us to use. Maybe after we eat we can go clean ourselves in the stream. It feels great.”. I turn around and look at him in his amazing grey eyes with speckles of blue and green. “You know I don’t like cold water, besides food is going to take a while to finish cooking.”. “That’s okay and just so you know it’s actually pretty warm for the season.”. He pulls me close and kisses me swiping his tongue against my lips and I part mine giving him access and I sink into him moaning. That’s when we hear the horses whining and wind howling. I see a dark figure in the forest coming closer and it looks frightening. I pull myself away from Colin and look at it whimpering. It runs through the forest towards us at a speed no human could ever manage. I start running, trying to drag Colin with me but I feel him being yanked from my hand. He screams, “ RUN SARA. I LOVE YOU!” As I turn around I see this beast with thick tufts of black hair all over its body with patches looking like it had been pulling its hair out ripping Colin’s limbs out of his body and blood pooling on the ground all around him. I see his face and I know he is dead. I continue to run but I’m no match the the monster that just killed my love. It finishes draining what’s left of him and looks towards me with the most evil look on its face. It starts running towards me and I know I won’t live to ever seen anyone again. The beast catches me and throws me to the ground and I can feel it dragging me I cry out “No please don’t hurt me, please I have family,” and hear the leaves on the ground moving with me. It turns around and starts to get ready to eat me as well pulling my arms out of my body. I can feel the life draining from me. I know I am gone and won’t ever get to have children or make a mark on this world.
