Mood: restless
The night surrounded the earth in it's darkness, nothing was seen to the naked eye except the crimson moon which gently glowed and hung suspended midway against the blanket of black. The sounds of scattered animals pierced the listening ears of man and beast, not a welcoming babble in the least, they were screeches of fear, dread and death.
The wind started to slowly stir and lift the fallen leaves of Autumn, obscuring the view that was just visible in front of me, my skin tingled with every shriek and my mind raced, the leaves I could hear rustling against each other and as they swirled around I had to concentrate even harder, I could not keep my attention of three different sounds at once, my life depended on it, my instinct was to keep running, not looking back but I was also very tempted to stop, hide and watch, curiousity getting the better of me yet again, I hid between the largest, dampest, rocks, crouching into it, my body pressed close and listened again to the midnight world.
What seemed like an eternity of listening to the sound of death, my heart beat pumping with adrenaline, not only out of fear but out of adventure slowed down, I had adjusted my eyes to the situation and I suddenly realised the night had become silent again, not a sound broke the calm, not an animal scuttled by and when I looked towards the moon it had turned the deepest red, it had it's ration of blood for the night and I knew come tomorrow it would all start again, but this time I was no longer going to run, never going to let it destroy again, I would fight.
