The sun was setting in the small cozy little town. It was twilight it would be getting dark desperately soon.
She wandered through the wooded side of the trail not thinking that she was being watched. She was so unaware and so careless. It made me almost frustrated but it mostly just excited me - such an easy target. It gave me a thrill thinking about her recklessness as the wind whipped me sharply in the face. I gasped sucking in the cold fall wind, i felt like i was the one being choked with too much oxygen, i smirked at the irony.
she was singing to herself as i peered thru the branches, the leaves had mostly fallen off so the branches looked like black metal clawed hands, it was creepy, i breathed slowly enjoying this moment. I couldn't hear what song she was singing and to be honest with myself i didn't care. She was nothing but something to eliminate, a fragile breath that could easily be taken away. I wanted to see the life fade from her clueless eyes it brought me a satisfaction that nothing else really could. Besides, I justified it with some twisted sick rationale that i felt too bored to think about right now, I had a task at hand - follow the girl further into the woods.

I had to be home but I really just wanted to escape the house for a little while longer, I just wanted to walk down the trail a little bit more instead of having to deal with life and the huge pile of homework that just got dumped on me today. I blasted all my favourite tunes thru my headphones they had noise reduction so I was lost in the music and lost in the trees surrounding me, they waved at me in the wind it was like they were saying hi, I fought the urge to wave back. It was chilly but I had been outside for a while now the sun was almost down and I knew there would be a lot of questions when I got back. I sang softly I knew I was far enough on the trail that no one would be able to hear me but I was shy and maybe there was someone on the trail tonight.

The sun was pretty much gone, out of sight - out of mind by now. She was just a dark shadow now. I wondered about how i should approach it this time. Just pop out, grab and stab her? I had a large hunting knife in my boot that could easily puncture. hm no probably shouldn't - she seemed like a screamer and screamers were extremely annoying. I wish i had a plastic bag. also i didn't bring gloves just my leather gloves and blood usually soaked and stained so that was a no go. Not keeping my eyes off her shadow like figure, i saw her waving it was weird.. did she notice me? how could she be so friendly, so inviting to trouble? I hoped that she hadn't seen me yet, i was stunned, i froze hoping that i could easily pass as a boulder.

I started to realize out of my music daze that I was definitely late by now. Shoot! I turned around on the trail and started to briskly walk back. I was suddenly aware of how dumb i was. What the hell?! I should have left awhile ago it was dark and now for sure I would have to come up with some cockamamie excuse as to why I was so late coming home. The branches on the trees no longer seemed like they were waving hi anymore, they seemed to be swaying more frantic, the wind picked up as if it was trying to push me out the woods. I started to lightly jog wondering if i should just start sprinting home.

She was coming in closer, almost too fast i wondered if she would even notice me if I popped out from where I was crouched down on the side of the trail. She'd probably just fly right by me. fuck, nothing was ever going to go to plan now was it? Now or never i suppose, I stumbled onto the trail trying to look lost and dazed. I knew she must be the type to be empathetic. She was still a little bit away from me so i figured i would call out to her, put her under a false sense of ease. "Hey!" "Hey!? Can you help me?"

My mind was thinking of different explanations while I jogging so i didn't see him at first, I finally focused on something waving at me it was in the middle of the trail so it definitely wasn't a tree this time. fuck, I don't have time for this right now. I was annoyed and feeling adrenaline, I stopped jogging and walked cautiously towards this creep in the dark wooded trail. Slipping off my headphones and keeping them around my neck, "I called out "What?" it came out sharper but hey he needed my help and I was needed to be elsewhere he would just have to figure it out for himself, I had no time left.
to be continued....
