The Cipher

The moon shines brightly on the dark sky, underneath the moon was a huge forest that seems to be enjoying every second of the peaceful moonlight. Everything was quiet in the forest. However...

Ta, ta, ta, ta

A small, faint footsteps could be heard. The rushing footsteps seems to have awake the excitement within the forest. Somewhere through the forest, far away from the footsteps, a figure was woken up.

The footsteps finally stopped. Showering underneath the bright moonlight was a girl in the appearence of 10. She wears a yellow brick pattern jacket with a black bow tie around her neck messily, underneath her yellow hood was a short black hair with gold almond eyes glimmering in the dark. She look around her surrounding and listens carefully in alert, but when she heard more than a pair of footsteps come running towards her way, her face immediately turned pale.

"Where is she!?" A deep voice asks.

"She ran this way, I'm sure of it!" Another voice answers.

The girl panic and accidentally break a twig, making a small yet clear crack noise.

"She's there!"

The girl quickly run away. An arrow fly pass her shoulder by an inch but she kept running, more and more arrows coming towards her way. Until...

"Argh!" An arrow shot her shoulders, blood triggers down from her arm. The archers who chased her suddenly seems to be better in aiming. She was shot with two more arrows, one was shot at her back and the other was on her left leg.

She collapse. Her heart turns cold and her mind is blank. This is it, this is where she will die. She refuse to accept her fate, but she knew very well she couldn't do anything about it. She have used up all her energy, she was left with no strength in her.

She hear footsteps getting closer, visions are starting to becoming blur. She could see black dots in the distance. Are those the people that has been chasing her this whole time? They are getting closer, eyes getting blurrier in every second. Sudden her eyes was focus to a small pair of barefoot in front of her, blocking her view of the group of dangers that are getting closer.

Huh? Her eyes widen in shocked. Next thing she knew, everything turns black.
