Alexis stood at the edge of the forest, looking out towards the world beyond. The same world that had treated her so horribly. The world that had given her nothing but heartbreak and pain, longing and regret. The world that had forsaken her.
A wolf let out a long howl, mournful, a lament meant for all the world to hear. It sent its pain up in that cry, hoping, wishing, asking for any release from this mournful life it led. No one cold understand the wolf's cries of pain and sadness unless they themselves had felt that kind of pain. Alexis knew this for a fact. They may think they knew it, may think they understand, but in truth, they knew nothing of the pain of the wolves.
Another cry joined the first, a plea for help. A plea for rescue from this cruel world, a plea for a better life, a world without pain. More and more wolves took up the cry, sending their heartbreak out to the moon, for all the world to hear and marvel at.
Alexis sadly looked up at the full moon, shadows gathering themselves lovingly around her shoulders. Memories floated up out of the murkiness or her mind. A voice could be heard, though she could not determine whether it was memory of life.
Alexis...I can help you...I can make it all better...Let me help you, Alexis...Let me show you the better side of the world...Let me take control, let me take over...Then you can be free, Alexis...Then you can be free...
Alexis looked around, shaking her head to clear the memories, but the voice did not leave. It was really here, that same raspy, cold whisper. She looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice, but she could find none. The demon was hiding, trying to tempt her to give up. But she would not, this was her life, and she was not going to give it up.
Suddenly, Alexis was flying through the air. She crashed into a tree, her back screaming in pain at impact. Her brown hair fell into her eyes, covering her face, bringing the scent and feel of blood with it. The demon appeared in front of her. His claws were long and sharp, coming out of a twisted hand. His scin was black and wrinkled, his eyes were a bright red, his smile cruel and heartless. I can end it all, Alexis...I can end it all!
Alexis didn't know what to do. She could not run, she could not fight. Her shadows were at his command also, so she could find no help there. No demon would fight another demon for her. She was defeated. Her only hope was that some one would come and rescue her.
No one is going to help you, Alexis... No one is going to come...No one can hear your screams...I can kill you and no one would ever know...No one would care either, would they? You know the wouldn't...Come, Alexis...I can make it all better...I can end this pain and misery...All you have to do is let me in...Or I could take it by force!
