Monsters

It felt like a nightmare fighting to save itself from reality, but the barrier wouldn’t break.  Her dark blue eyes lost time around her. Green and brown was all she could see, consuming her. She could feel the mud caking over her stockings and ripping apart her new white dress. She wasn’t sure where she was and wasn’t sure if she’d ever leave. The sun was way beyond to give her some sense of place and time. The only thing she remembered was her name. Evelyn.  

Like a flash of lightening she saw it all. The monsters made her flea into the forest. She ran, she screamed, she begged, and she cried. She couldn’t see there faces but she knew they were chasing her. They wanted her to die. She ran until a branch caught her foot. She came tumbling down and hit her head. Evelyn touched the open wound and could fell the blood pouring out like a storm.  The pain hit instantly and she could barely even let out a whimper. She knew she was caught and would probably never escape again.  Her end was near.

The monsters caught her. Her body was pinned to the ground. Her ribs cracking beneath her, her body going numb as she’s shoved against the hard and uneven floor. The monsters were all over her now. Biting, clawing, and sucking ever bit of life left in her. She couldn’t tell what they wanted or why the wanted her. She couldn’t even make out a face. The face was just blackness. No eyes, no nose, no mouth absolutely nothing. Just blackness eating away. Why was this happening? What did she do to deserve this? She asked these questions to whatever god was watching this happening.  The beating didn’t stop. She couldn’t feel anything now but pain. The monsters damaged every single part of her body she didn’t know which part they were at now. Her fear turned to acceptance. She was going to die. It was all over now. She couldn’t find the sadness in her death. She couldn’t even remember her life before this agony, so what did it matter anymore?

The monsters stopped but the pain didn’t. The blood was still flowing, the bones were still broken, and the damage was done. She’d never know anything else in life.  She weakly closed her eyes. She listened to the sounds of the forests. She could hear nature at its finest but nothing out of the ordinary like she didn’t even exist in their world. She opened her eyes and saw the monsters were gone as if they were never there in the first place. She looked down at her body. It wasn’t in pain anymore, she was just caked in dirt. The blood was gone, everything was gone. Evelyn tried with all her strength to stand up. Her wobbly legs kept giving out underneath her. She finally managed to stand and stumble forward deeper into the forest. The scenery didn’t change but the sound did. Silence was a deafening sound. She ran again trying to regain any type of sound. She ran and as her body gave out beneath her, her world stumbled into black.
