This seemingly endless silence took my breath away.Take it easy, Leila!I thought as it ran down my spine. Noises that only I noticed ...
At the thought of what had caused this noise, I immediately wanted to run. The feeling of loneliness, darkness and, above all, fear that everything was new for me, that slowly flowed through my whole body and became unbearable. Somewhere there had to be a way out of this darkness, a way out that would free me from all these overwhelming feelings.
Just run until the pain subsided, but I couldn't, my legs just wouldn't move. Stiff, suddenly they were stiff, from the cold? No, because I could still feel the warm blood flowing through my cold body. So it had to be this other feeling that I couldn't quite identify. Fear, the pure fear and these noises, I had the fearful suspicion that I would be followed. And suddenly I felt how exactly this feeling surpassed all other emotions and was now in the foreground. Somebody seemed to be standing somewhere watching me or something. Me, a helpless girl, in the middle of the darkest section of the forest, far from any reality.

Again that noise behind the tree and now I froze again. He, it was getting closer because it was louder than the previous one. Then I saw shadows, it was a man, boy ... definitely someone big muscular, which indicated a man. Now I felt my stomach contract and my breathing become heavier. It got so heavy that it stopped. To calm myself down, I took a deep breath and took a step back.Oh noI noticed how I hit something. I carefully put my hands on it to feel what my body had hit. It was alive, it was starting to breathe hot. I felt his heart beating against my head, steadily, and I listened carefully.Remarkable, this noise and yet very disturbingWhat did this guy want from me, or even better, why was he here?
Questions about questions that made my head boil over. Suddenly I was so hot and my heart was beating so loud that I thought even he could hear it.
"Leila?" I heard an extraordinary strange voice say.Oh no, he knows my name!But instead of being outraged, I was enchanted by his voice. It was scary, but there was something loving about it. I didn't breathe, I take a step forward and turn around. Light eyes, dark disheveled hair as if it was me ...
But who was this man? Or what should this figure be? I took another breath
"yes ?!", my voice failed.
"I know you, I know you more than you think." I swallowed hard, there was a lump in my throat, I could feel it.
"You live in a small town in Nevada. You are in the 12th grade of high school. In your free time, you devote yourself entirely to music, nature and school ..."
Suddenly I felt an unbearable pain in the right half of my chest, this figure could do me, but I wasn't sure if I would know him. How did he know all these things about me? His face was so familiar to me and yet so strange ...
To finally get an answer to my pressing questions, I asked in a hotter voice:
"How do you know all that?"
"I'm not like everyone, I'm different than you think." His voice sounded so, powerful and with a lot of feeling, as I had never heard it from a boy before. But who was this mysterious guy who knew so well about me?
"Who are you?" I asked him without thinking too much.
"You shouldn't have asked that." His voice sounded a bit angry. Then I felt the goosebumps spreading on my arms. It went all over my body.Why shouldn't I ask him that?It plagued me like a bee that flew around you and couldn't scare away. I looked in his direction and saw how the horror was now properly written on his face. I was able to place the expression on my face exactly because my eyes had finally got used to the darkness. But why was he just looking at me like that? What was this guy hiding from me? I took a small, barely noticeable step back because I was afraid to ask another question.
Suddenly he grabbed my arm, he was pulling hard on me and the pain overwhelmed me. He squeezed the blood off me so that after a short time I couldn't feel it anymore. "Let go of me! Why are you doing this?" I tried to bring out painfully. I tried to get out of his tight grip, which didn't seem to bother him. "I can't go on living like this!" I heard him scream.
“W-What do you mean ?!” I replied in a horrified tone.
"E-E-It doesn't matter, forget what I said." Suddenly he let go of my arm and it went dead still.
"Tell me what you mean!" I uttered. I knew that he was still very close to me. "It would have been better if I had never followed you." He sounded depressed. The cold ran down my spine again, so he had followed me.

"W-Why? Why did you follow me? Who are you? W-W-What's this all about?" My tone of voice was pretty confused and confused. I am waiting for an answer. But all I got back was a long, tortured sigh.What is the theater doing?
Suddenly a thought occurred to me why this guy had followed me. Maybe it was because ... he wanted something from me that I didn't want to give him, my body. Was it possible that he was a murderer ?! My breathing became faster and more irregular again.
"Do you think I'm a murderer?" It sounded disappointed.
I froze.How does he know what I'm thinking?
"Don't think such rubbish! I would never be able to harm you.", He sounded determined. What did he mean that he could never harm me ?! Now I was totally perplexed.
"You are probably wondering what all this is about ?! At some point you will find out." What doesstill mean here, I wanted to know immediately!
"Tell me now! Please!" I was scared. My heart jumped out of my chest.[i]I just want to know what's going on here
Suddenly he came up to me and his smell got into my nose for the first time. It smelled lovely, almost numbing, but it immediately imprinted itself on my sense of smell.
"All right, I think I owe you an account.", He tore me from my thoughts.What kind of account is he talking about? He sighed again and it sounded as if it was difficult for him to look for the right words.[i]But why is it so difficult for him?"The reason I followed you ..." he stopped and I waited for him to continue, "well", he started again. "Well I followed you because I, since I saw you back then, I knew that I had to follow you!"
My breathing stopped for a brief moment. I automatically rummaged through my brain in order to be able to classify his face. But I couldn't think of anything. It was empty and I knew I didn't need to look any further. I didn't understand myself at that moment.
"Leila ..." I heard him mumble softly to himself. Did he say my name again? what would he want from me now? After a short hesitation, I noticed how he came closer again, because his smell was getting stronger.
Suddenly I felt his hot, oppressive breath on my cheek. He was very close to me now, his head bent too low. His eyes, I saw them sparkle.
They were so empty, but so fascinating. His mouth was slightly open and his light brown hair hung slightly over his face.My heart was now only a fraction away from jumping out of my chest.
"Why are you so excited?" He asked me with a mischievous yet sweet smile.
At that moment I saw his snow-white canine teeth, which only glared at me. They literally glared at me. The sweat pearled on my forehead and I couldn't get a single word out. Was it the kind of figure I thought it was? Do I have to die now? Too many questions still bothered me. His hands were now touching my shoulder, they were very warm, I only noticed that now. Maybe I was already that cold, because it was a warming feeling how his hands were on my shoulders. Suddenly the feeling of security and calm came over me. I swallowed hard again, still deep in his eyes.
"Why are you so quiet, Leila?" I heard him ask worriedly.
At that moment I finally managed to swallow that big lump in my throat, ignoring his question.
“What do you want from me ?!” He let go in a flash and disappeared. Suddenly I felt this cold again, which was coming at me from everywhere.He still had to be near me ... right? At the thought that he was no longer there, but had gone away, I suddenly felt dizzy.[i]Why does he suspect me so much and then just disappear ?!My legs became very shaky and weak. I felt myself slowly falling backwards. Suddenly a short but very sweet wind surrounded me. You didn't feel anything anymore, onlyhissmell still surrounded me. He held me that I could see despite my dizziness. My eyes were only opened one slit, onhim. and I felt his warmth again.
"I will never ..." were the last bits of words he breathed in my face before I passed out ...
