I had to get my mind under control, as I was not alone...The worst horror of any journey, is always the moment when the sun is no longer there to put every object into full apprehension.

The intruder smiled brightly, clearly enjoying himself. He took in a deep breath as the wind blew my scent towards him, his hands tightening around my neck. I could tell he was getting hungry and impatient, as his golden eyes suddenly turned a shade close to red. I felt air leave my body, as I fought his vice-like grip, struggling to breathe.
