Eve felt her heart beating faster, he mind racing. A voice had spoken in her mind. His lips hadn’t even moved. The ground was indeed as the voice said, damp and slick and wasn’t very ideal, but what would she do? Just stand there and wait for this thing to mutilate her? Eve slowed, looking back before dashing in between a few trees. The hill wasn’t far from here, she knew if she kept up this speed she might just make it down the hill. No matter what that creature put into her mind she had to try. 

‘Please, please let me live!’ Eve found herself praying again. Her eyes were stinging now; the rain had begun to turn into icy drops onto her face and exposed skin of her neck and hands. Stopping short, she looked down at the drop, her heart sank, the water had already begun to rain drain down the hills side, and it was full of water now, it was only at most three feet, she could try standing but it would prove difficult with its muddy floor. Her only chance of survival, the hill had become more dangerous now than ever; what could she do now!? She felt her tears streaming down her cheeks harder this time. Warming her chilled cheeks, looking at her feet, she flung it into the steam of water below. The water swallowed it instantly, slowly letting it resurface as it traveled down the side of the hill. It was now or never! Slowly making her way towards the edge she felt her body wobble. She was so tired now, all her strength would be gone once she reached the bottom, maybe she would float or maybe this was it, either way she knew she only had one shot to make it and this was it. 

Closing her eyes she remembered her mother and her father. Her brothers before they became the monsters they are today, a smile played at her lips, taking a deep breath she jumped, tucking her legs into her chest rolling down the hills slippery side. The impact hurt as she slid, her legs came undone when she first hit the water, her breath letting go, and the shock of the water made her gasp, and the water filled her mouth leaking into her lungs With all the strength she could muster she tried grabbing onto the ground with her feet. She slid at first, her body falling into the water again, soaking her all over again in the cold water. Her tears streamed harder, it hurt. Finally she gained a place of balance using her purse as a weight she waded in the water, using the current to push her forward, she knew if she fell now she’d never make it to the bottom.
