She was walking, it was dark, her heart pounded in her chest. She felt a fear unlike any other as she walked towards something she only knew as being a release of that fear and pounding.
Her hearing enhanced as did her fear and she now heard the footsteps not far behind her. As she walked faster, so did those steps from behind and now she was running.
She felt a large hand grab her shoulder, she screamed out and the strangers other hand covered her mouth, muffling her cries for help. Then she felt his large hand move down to the nape of her neck, he must be massive she thought as she felt his fingers wrapping around her neck. She couldn’t think, she couldn’t breath….
Memory bolted awake with her heart racing and beads of sweat on her forehead. It took her several minutes before she calmed down from her reoccurring nightmare. She then realized she was in her car and freezing even with several blankets around covering her.
She had slid of the road, losing control of her raggedy old Ford. Somehow she had managed to survive the slide down the hill but must have bumped her head on the steering wheel as it was now beginning to throb slightly. She tried the engine and found much needed relief from the cold when she could turn the heat on. Memory also had lucked out by bringing the blankets, a few snacks, matches and some water with her, knowing she would be traveling these roads.
The only problem now was that by now she would be considered missing, yet no one would be looking for her. She had been on her way to her boyfriends house to surprise him after they had fought and she had hung up on him saying she wasn’t going to come to his family cabin. She had realized once again that quick temper of hers, along with the beautiful red curls she had, once again had got the best of her and she was hoping to make up for that when she got to his cabin.
But alas, now he wouldn’t even think about her for at least a few days and even if he tried to call, her cell phone couldn’t pick up a connection where she was as she had already tried. Even her parents wouldn’t look for their 21year old daughter. The last time they were all together was at her new apartment where they had surprised her by stopping by. Things didn’t go well and she told them to just go home, quit meddling in her life and call before they come over. That was over two years ago. Once again her temper had got the best of her, but she justified it that time for many reasons. She never talked about them, not even to Dale, her boyfriend and as for her she considered herself without family and always had to be prepared to take care of herself.
Since she knew no one was looking for her and knew no one could see her down here from the road, she decided to prepare herself, climb the hill and pray that someone came along soon. She stuffed her purse full, rolled up the two blankets with a belt from her suitcase, which she leaving there. Then turned the engine off, got out and locked the car and began to walk up the hill, thankful it wasn’t very steep. It took her a bit of time to walk up as the snow was pretty deep. It was pure relief to have just made it up the hill to the road and she started walked, every once in a while turning around to see if there was a vehicle or something in sight anywhere.
As it began to get dark, she unrolled the blankets and wrapped them around her. She knew she had to make herself just keep walking and not give in to the cold or the sleepiness she was beginning to feel. It was evident that it wouldn’t be long before she would have to give in and rest awhile, just by the way her body swayed to and fro as if she were drunk as she walked.
“Please….Please…someone come by….” she whispered as if praying and continued on.
