Haunted Wood Dancing with the Devil

@Vengeance

Darkness, it was the thing that contained the evil of this world. The place where the witches play and the demons roam, so why was she here? A colorless angel in the dark and gloom, innocence in a place of nightmares. The answer, she did not know. She could not remember anything, she she knew how to walk, she even could recall herbs for healing and those of death but her name.. that escaped her. Why she waa covered in scars, why fear was the only thing she could feel.

It came again, the wave of terror at the sound of a bird above, the snapping of a twig below. Her heart hammered against her frail chest, beating like a caged thing that new death was the only way to escape. Her little frame shook to the point that her legs gave out before a beam of moonlight that seemed to find purchase through the gnarled canopy, why was she so hopeless? 

A whimper escaped as she gasped for breath though she did not remember allowing it to happen. She wanted to run but she no longer had the strength as she realized that she had not slept in days, that her nightmares were bleeding into her waking times but if you dont sleep.. they shouldn't haunt you..
