The object , which she had made out to be a man started running towards her. She reached for a stick and swung at the man. She heard a sharp scream come out of the man. She swung again, but he grabbed the stick. She ran down the narrowing path scraping against bushes. Ahead she saw some lights. She was running out of breath, and was slowing down. She pushed herself to the light and realized it was a house. She remembered seeing that house somewhere but she could not remember. Then she realized it was her friend George from schools house. She started to scream out his name when she saw the door open. She then ran to the open door and told George to call 911. She looked back and saw the man running towards her with knife in hand. She then realized that it was David. The next day as she walked by Brian’s house she saw the cops handcuffing David and taking him to jail. When she got home she got a phone call. “Hello”"You haven’t got me yet”
