Description
There's a figure at the end of the room. I can't see him. It's- it's too dark. The sound of heavy footsteps grows closer. I blink a few times, my vision adjusting to the darkness until I see a tall shadowy figure approaching me. There's something in his hand, but it's too dark to make out. Am I dreaming? Am I awake? I don't know, but I want to wake up. "Come on, did you forget? I always get what I want," A deep voice chuckles, "even if I have to slit their throat to get it." My breath comes out in short spurts, I feel like I know this person but from where? It doesn't matter. All I know is that I'm going to die. ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ Raven Brooks always thought that she was like any other average teenager that struggles to find her purpose in the world.
