I Saw Him

It was the dead of the night. He was still there, and so was I.

I was gazing at him. He stood there without any motion. I was behind an oak tree.

He was the one my parents talked of, my neighbours gossiped of, and the entire village were afraid of.

I was half-scared, and half-fascinated as well. His body, his luminous white eyes, his features, all created fear as well as admiration in my mind and heart. I wanted to move out of the gloom. No, I resisted myself. What if he was dangerous, I thought, or could he be nice?

I resumed gazing. It was already late, but I decided to remain here for some more time. However, when the thought of my parents waking up and finding me missing in the middle of the night made me sprout from me place. I turned and started the journey to my home.

I used the same path that I followed him through. I soon moved out of the woods I was in, and walked briskly because monsters could be present by, and you know. Infact, kids weren't allowed to leave the village.

The moon was still far from the touchdown point. Now, I was walking through the plains. Now a little was left to reach home. I took an up, changed my direction, and went down the hill.

Then I heard the tall grass on my right move. A creeper emerged from there. I panicked and ran as fast as I could. After a while, I glanced back and saw it far away from me. Then I stumbled across something, and tumbled down. I tumbled and tumbled, and then fell into a dark cave. I hit this and that, and then stopped.

I got up slowly with the wounds in my head, hands and body. I ran my hands around my whole body and realized certain things. A part of my shirt had torn, revealing my torso. Besides, very few cloth on it was left. My pant had also torn a bit, revealing my lower leg.

Where was I, I thought as I looked around. It was pitch dark and I was unable to see a thing.

Then a faint light glowed up infront of me, and white eyes ,which were glowing, appeared.
