I opened my eyes after what felt like an eternity. Those piercing yellow eyes had gone, vanished. I closed my eyes and opened them again quickly, just in case I was imagining things.
I wasn't. "It" had gone.
"How can this be?" I asked aloud, anger rather than relief building up inside of me. I had been ready. Ready to give up on running, and hiding, and give in to the chaos.
But nothing had happened. I kicked out at something in the darkness , my anger spilling over. Why hadn't "It" killed me, right there and then? Why had "It" even hesitated? Why had "It" spared me?
All of these questions started running through my head, all linking in to "It".
That was it. "It" was the reason behind this madness, this horror and this despair. But why leave me?
I don't know what it was inside of me, maybe the feeling of nothingness, maybe the numerous questions clogging up my brain, or maybe it was just because I didn't want to run anymore.
Whatever it was, it took over my body and gave me a focus to find the truth, the reason behind why all of this had happened.
I ran into the bushes where the yellow eyes had been, in pursuit of "It".
