Visions of Fear — Mary Eileen Davis

“Run Amanda Run!” What? Who is that? The voice is so familiar, yet I cannot think of who it is. “Don't stop Amanda! Do not turn around whatever you do; don't turn around even though what you may hear!” Okay I thought, I'm not exactly sure who you are at this point in time, but I've learned to trust my gut feeling, and it's telling me to run like hell right now. Where am I? Its pitch black dark, I'm running barefoot on a black road. Where do I go? Who, or what, am I running from? This doesn't make any sense, I have to be sleeping, as I run I stub my toe on a rock and come to the conclusion it's not a dream. Where do I go? Ashley's! Maybe I can make it there if I figure out where I am. Wait, am I out of my mind! I go to Ashley's I put her in danger as well. That painful, horrid, twisting gut feeling is progressing more and more, I start to run faster as I hear a most disturbing, deep, sinful, evil voice I have ever heard. “Get back here girl!” As I start turning my head I hear the woman again, “No Amanda, don't turn aro-.” Wham! Next thing I know, I'm lying on the ground my head throbbing. I feel like I just ran into a damn brick building and broke all the bones in my body. I feel like hell just ran me over. I gathered my vision and leaned up realizing I should still be running. But as I looked up, I saw the most petrifying, sinister, most blood curling, bone eating monster, which made me regret my previous thought of hell. Going about your life thinking that you're an ordinary person, living a regular life then all of a sudden BAM! You find out people want to murder you! Having no clue why they want you dead, or who they even are. Then finding out your not exactly human. What would you do if you found out you were some sort of Alien, assassins are after you, there is a prophecy in which you have no escape from, and all you have ever known was just a lie. My name is Amanda and this is my new world. One day just living my regular life with my best friend Ashley and brother Luke, then the next, we have to kill before being killed. Try and figure out my visions and how to change them before we all end up dead. I can't go back, and the only way forward is through blood, hurt, and visions of fear. Friendships are tested, limits crumble and fighting a fight we have no idea how to fight, let alone win.
