I run towards the pitch black. The forest is all quiet and dark so I can hear any noise in it. I search around for her.

She must be here. There is no other places she might be but here.

I hope she isn’t scared.

On the other side of the forest there is a lake and a road with lightings. It is logically she’s there. Where else? She wouldn’t choose darkness over anything that would ease her investigation.

I run to that side of the trees till I see the lighting from the lamp. I scream with all I go for her.

Hearing a sound makes me freeze. I call for her again and she responds.

Just in a few minutes I see her. My eyes water as I rush to my girl.

As soon as I’m beside her catch her in my arms and stay like this. Seconds, minutes? I’m not sure how long it took me to pull away.

With this I start leading her back. She clinges and I promise myself to take care of it soon. She won’t feel that again.

I held her hand tight, and I wasn’t ever letting go.
