Devious Journal Entry

A snippet from Chapter 4 which is still being written. Everything subject to change on my whim.


"My my my…" a voice mocked in the distance. "Heck of a punch for someone as young as you"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
"Such a waste having to kill such potential. But I can't allow you to mature. Your existence is a threat to us. Too long has the fires of heaven controlled this country. It's time for a new age! One not bound by the decrepit decrees of your family. One where we are all truly free to choose our own destinies, pave our own paths. For that, you must die here, tonight."

She could tell that the killer was close now. Her breathing started getting more and more ragged as her mind went blank with fear. Tears streamed down her face, the realisation that she might actually die finally starting to dawn on her.
Mom… Dad… help…..
"No one's coming to save you. Stop resisting, and I'll show you mercy"
Completely disheartened, she could no longer find the energy to keep herself alert. Her heavy eyelids drooped and eventually closed. Time seemed to slow down, the echoes of the assailants footsteps grew longer and further apart.
