Chapter 11

October 21st

I was running. Running harder than I ever had before as if the devil himself were on my heels. I had convinced myself he was.

The night was dark. So dark I could barely make out the rough stone path beneath my feet. I had to keep going, no matter how may times I tripped. My lungs felt like they would explode if I ran any faster, but I had to make it.

Not much farther, I thought. Not much farther.

Something slammed into my back, and I fell with a scream trapped in my throat as the air was knocked out of my lungs. With panic pumping through my veins, I pushed to get up, but a heavy weight held me down. Now I screamed.

Darkness swirled and pain flared as words from above me chanted. It was mumbled or maybe I had hit my head, but at first I couldn’t understand what was being said.

Struggling was useless, the weight never left my back. My fingernails dug into the stones below me, causing them to sting and bleed.

Help! I shouted, only nothing actually came out of my mouth. Help! I tried again, but to no use. It was as if my voice had disappeared.

Just as the tears of defeat broke through and streamed down my cheeks, a figure hurriedly approached. I couldn’t see his face, but I recognized him. He came. Finally, he came, and he would save me.

Suddenly the voice from above me became clear, and I screamed as an intense burning ripped through my back.
