Elicia ran, she ran as fast as she could. Trees whipped past her, it was getting closer. She heard the creature roar behind her. "No!" She screamed, she ran faster. Branches lashing her face. The pain was nothing compared to her fear. The roaring was louder now. "No! Please no!" She screamed back at the large monster gaining speed. She knew she would never be able to match it's speed, with out thinking, she dived out of it's path and into some bushes. She heard the creature's roar as it kept running in the path she was no longer on. The pain began to grow as the fear faded away. The scratches on her face started to sting with pain. She rubbed her cheeks, and bent down to catch her breath. What was that thing?! she thought wearily. Her legs felt like pudding, and before she could stop herself she collapsed onto the hard, dirt, floor. She looked around at the dark eerie forest. Everything was silent. In fact, too silent. She stood up and looked around, straining her ears for even the slightest sound of a twig snapping. And then, she heard it, crunch. She slowly turned around to see her friend Julie looking at her. "Oh, Julie it's you, I thought it was the..... Well I'm not sure what it is." said Elicia. "You saw it too?" said Julie, in a small voice. "Yes, what is it Julie? What is that thing?" Julie looked uncertain, she stared at her feet. That's always what she did when she was thinking. "I don't know, but I did get a clear view of it. It's body was built like a bull's. A very large bull, and it's skin. It's skin was teal, dark and teal. It's head had tentacles, and sharp, dangerous teeth." she paused, her breathing was faster now. "Oh Elicia, it was horrible, and ugly. I was so scared." she said, tears rolling down her pale cheeks. "It's okay Julie, it's gone now. We'll be okay." But she was wrong. A few moments later, after the girls began walking to try and find away out of the forest, the roaring began once again. Elicia looked through the trees, searching for the monster. There it was, about 400 yards away. It stared her straight in the eye, she was filled with horror, and couldn't move. "Elicia! Elicia run!"cried Julie as the monster began to charge at her. "Run! Run! Please Elicia, come on, run!!" Julie tugged at her arm, but she wouldn't budge. The monster got closer and closer, now it was 200 yards away. "Elicia! Elicia! Elicia please!!" Julie voice began to fade, and Elicia's vision slowly went too. Then all of it was gone. That's when she woke up to the bright morning sun shining in her window. The nightmare was over.
