The darkness was all around me once more, and I couldn't remember how it had got there. It seemed the darkness was my constant companion now, always just a few moments away, although it wasn't safe like a friend. There was always something out there, watching. I could be left to myself, but I was never exactly alone.Karina...A deep laughter filled my ears, and I spun around, trying to figure out where it had come from. Pointless really, the darkness was all I could see. I could have been blind.Karina...It was as if my name was being chanted in the night. For thats what it was, night time, it had to be. The wind picked up, brushing my air against my cheek softly, making the leaves on the trees that seemed to surround me move and join the whispering. I was in the forest again, I had to be. In the forest, in the dead of night. Was I losing my mind?The laughter echoed out again, and I shivered - whether from the cold of from the sounds I knew not. I was tempted to scream, someone had to be able to hear me, even in the middle of the night. If I was close enough, mum would wake up, if I could get my voice loud enough to carry that far. A hand covered my mouth from behind. No ones going to hear you, Karina... You can scream all you like... I spun around to see who was behind me, and was met my nothing but darkness. I stretched my hand out, and touched nothing but the air around me, which made the laughter ring out again, and my heart pound even harder. It filled my head, an insesent drumming, it was making it hard for me to hear my thoughts. Something brushed past my arm as I considered running. You know you wont get anywhere... We've been watching you, Karina... You can't escape... You belong with us...I shook my head, I had to be imagining this. If there was nothing there, in the darkness, then my mind had to be playing tricks on me. Oh really, Karina? Nothing out there but darkness? The whispering, the laughter, and the wind grew louder as I watched five sets of orbs emerge from the black. Five different coloured orbs, in pairs. Blue, gold, red, grey, and a deep brown. They were floating in the blackness, attached to nothing. My mind was definetley playing tricks on me, this couldn't be happening. That's were your wrong, Karina... We are here, with you right now, watching, waiting... You belong with us, don't ever forget that... The voice was coming from behind me, and as I thought those words, something stroked my hair. I spun round, my heart beating louder, my breathing frenzied. "Who are you?!" came my strained voice, hardly audible. I was answered by laughter, and another set of orbs. Green this time. Why was that green so familiar? The colours from before danced round me, laughter accompaning them. They were all boys, or men, and they were surrounding me. I was completely alone, but for them, and I could see no where to run if I had the chance. The green orbs were coming closer to me, the insesent laughter, whispering and drumming of my heart growing ever louder as I came closer to my fate. I was afraid, because I didn't know who these 'people' were, if they were people. Sure, the green, the voices, and even the laughter was familiar to me but that didn't mean... "Daryan!" I gasped.Once more I was met with laughter, and the green floated closer. Definetley the same shade of emerald. So that meant that the colours were peoples eyes. Probably the group og boys. And I was alone once more, in the darkness, untouched but for their eyes, their voices and my own heart. I had no escape.
