Intro

I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was suffocating as smoke engulfed me and flames surrounded me. In the distance, I could see this house on fire that seemed to get further and further away.

In the distance, stick like figures were hanging on wooden poles in the fields as if they were dead bones from multiple bodies.

Panic rose in my throat to the point that it was to dry to scream, sweat covered my whole body, and tears fell from my eyes and down my cheeks as I realized that I was gonna die.

No one would be here to help me or care. I was worthless to most and a sinner to a lot of things no one knew about me.

Was this punishment? Was I doomed to die this way. I wasn't alone though, another girl that I didn't know was beside me hanging from a pole just as I was.

Her tears and screams of pain were just as bad as mine were, only hers were from emotional pain while mine seemed physical. My whole body ached.

I wanted to help this girl beside me but I couldn't even help myself. She seemed so brave but hopeless, unsure, and naive. We both were to young to die!

I wanted to assure her but how could I give her false hope?

The man who did this to us stood there laughing at her as I listened to her story, they both had been in love but he was now mocking that love right before her eyes and telling her she would soon die.

I thought to myself, how could someone be so cruel and heartless? Even after he told her she meant nothing to him, the girl still pleaded with him and confessed her love for him.

I listened as the man ordered someone to shut her up and a woman walked forward with a smirk on her face as she stuff a piece of material in her mouth.

I watched in horror as he motioned two men forward who each carried torches with fire. One came toward me while the other went to her.

I watched in fear as they lit the hay connected to our wooden poles sparking fire and smoke. We were truly going to die! I thought to myself. I had wanted more in this life, I wasn't giving up yet.

I began to struggle with the ropes that bound my hands above my head and noticed the other girl doing the same as she looked at me with terrified eyes. I rocked my body my body against the pole and she done the same.

Finally, I noticed she was freed as I continued to struggle. The girl rushed toward me to help me when suddenly the pole holding me started falling taking me with it.

I watched as the girl picked up a stick with fire on it and walked toward me and holding it to the rope that still bounded my hands to the pole. The roped burned and released my hands from its binds.

Before I could say thank you, the girl took off running toward the burning house as if her life depended on it. Was she going after the man or the house I wondered?

I noticed screams of agony in the distance and as people were running and being ripped apart.

In a panic, I tried to make a run for it but my foot got stuck in the rope that bounded me earlier and I went stumbling backwards landing on the cold ground.

I looked up and froze as I seen a figure riding toward me, clearing my eyes, I realized it wasn't a figure but some type of beast with red eyes trained on me.

Fear seized me as I rushed to break free from the rope and run. Why me? I screamed. Why was this happening to me? I shouted hysterically.

I managed to get my foot untangled and glanced up to see what looked like a wolf but also a beast staring straight at me with concern and confusion but also anger as I forced myself to get up and run.

Ignoring all the pain in my body, I took off running but the beast or whatever it was leaped at me knocking me to my stomach on the ground and I felt his claws dig into.my hips as I was being turned over to face it.

On instinct, I put my arms over my face as a scream escaped my mouth. I felt my body shaking and screamed as I was Suddenly woke up.
