• Her feet hit the ground in a frantic pattern. Don't look back, don't look back she kept repeating to herself. But even if she didn't look back she could still feel them. The Watchers. The trees around her started to become thicker and more common she was getting deeper into the forest. Good she knew it better than her chasers and could loose them in there. 'And then what?' asked the snide voice in her head, 'Are you going to live off the land like all those girls in your precious stories?' her confidence faltered and with it her feet. No, she thought adamantly to herself I'm gong to survive better then them. 'Positive thinking thats the key' the voice replied the voice harshly. Who asked you just shut up and go back to sleep and let me take care of us. 'Fine' the voiced humphed. The girl heard something whistle behind her back and ducked. KA-THUNK! something whacked into the tree to the side of her head. "Come on girly we won't hurt you." a masculine voice called from behind her. "Yeah right." she muttered to herself, "You won't hurt me as long as I'm not in your cold fingers." THe girl suddenly veered sharply to the right. 'Almost there.' the voice came back again. 'Almost to the center of the forest they won't dare go there.' the girl didn't even bother to reply. Just a few more feet and she was home free, literally. 5, 4, 3, 2..... CRACK something rammed into the back of her head and she blacked out in pain.


    The first thing Haven felt when she woke was pain in her head. And then 'Hey! Hey! wake up you lazy lump and let me out!' the voice screamed in her head and she moan in pain and irritation. "Oh," a soft male voice exclaimed quietly, "You're awake." Haven's eyes flew open and she jerked up into a sitting positioned. The voice in her head materialized next to her in the form of a miniature griffin. Pin shot through her blinding her momentarily and she fell back down into the pillow.... Wait, PILLOW? Watchers didn't give their captives pillows. Haven opened her eyes once more and found her self looking into the most beautiful eyes in the world.
