caught

I sprinted deeper into the forest. My heart ached and pondered, who, or what was this thing? I ran until a giant boulder sat, proudly towering over me. 

I gasped helpless and hopeless. My hands twisted in my hair and tugged desperately for an idea. 

A deep growl, like a wild dog rumbled be hide me. fear spread like poison through my body. I 

slowly turned to face where the growl should have been, but was not.

 The growling stopped. The trees shuttered in a breeze i didn't feel. I shivered as the trees 

seemed to reach out me. The animal wimped like someone had struck it. I caught my breathe. 

 I shivered as my finger tips touched the giant Boulder. The creature huffed giving it self away.

 "You can make" I told myself trying to calm my racing heart.

"It's now or never" my mother's rang in my head. "If you don't try you will always regret it." 

"I know, I know." I used to say. Courage ran through my erasing the pain and the fear. Finally, I pushed off the stone sprinting toward the trees. wishing i would make it. The creature yelled,and chased after me. The animal soon feel far behind snarling at me. A smile twitched on my lips.  Yes i cried in my mind. Hope vanished as quickly as it appeared. At that moment I fell with a thud. Everything went fuzzy. My family, and friends flashed before me. Austin's clear, crisp image smiled down at me. Before i was totally whipped out, I heard panting like dog, a human shadow covered what i could see. i lowered my head. ready.
