The night was pitch black, the air misty and fogged, bare feet burning with fear as they ran through the forest, the owls hooted in warning, the trees blowing in opposite directions, fear was pumping through your blood as you ran through the forest, terror grappling at the ground you ran from. Every shadow looked like him, spurring you on faster; you ignored the burning in your lungs.

“You can’t run forever, baby! I will catch you!” Rafe called out from the darkness, his voice cold and psychotic; he didn’t make a move to run, but he stalked towards you, refusing to let you leave.

“You can’t escape me, baby.” He murmured into your ear, brushing your hair back as he kissed behind your ear
