" Change" he ordered.
" I can't" I said back, calmly.
"You know exactly what I'm talking back…" he said back " you don't have any excuses"
" I swear, I don't…" I said, my voice creeping higher. He sighed.
" You are now aware of what I'm capable of doing… if you don't change, it will happen again" he said, calmly.
I flinched, remembering. He could make you feel pain just by looking at you. It reminded me of Jane out of the twilight saga. But that just scared me even more. Twilight is not real and none of this should be too.
" I know…" I said slowly. " But trust me, I don't know what you mean by 'change', change what? " I asked. He sighed again.
" yourself" he answered coldly. I was seriously confused now. Change myself?… what?
" Excuse me…?" I asked to make sure that was what I heard. He sighed for what had to be the third time only quicker. I could tell he was getting impatient.
" Look, I'm sorry, but I seriously don't know what your talking about, I mean, change myself…?  What?" I said with a false laugh. He came closer.
" I don't have all day, you know" He said, sounding a bit more angry. I rolled my eye's. I couldn't believe I was even having this convocation. I go on a walk like I always do and I get stopped by a sudden agonising pain and I'm asked to change myself.
" Your good… I'll give you that" He said, with a tiny smile. Good at what?
"… Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?" I asked, being completely honest. He smirked.
" So stubborn and sarcastic… just like I thought" He whispered and his smile grew wider.
" Hey, maybe we'll not have to teach you as much as I thought we'd have to" He went on but before I even had a chance to ask, I felt one of his hands wrap around my neck, cutting me off. He then lifted me up into the air and I suddenly found it hard to breath. My hands instinctively started clawing at the hand around my neck.
" One last chance…" He said slowly, letting it sink in.
" Please!" I screamed. " I don't know-" I came to a sudden stop as I felt his hand tighten around my neck. I gasped.
" Ugh! … What do you want!?" I asked desperately. I could hear the change in my voice as the word's came out. Anger suddenly flashed across his face and the next thing I knew I was flying threw the air but was stopped as I slammed into a nearby tree. I landed in a patch of flower's which I was thankful for. My back was in serious pain now. I turned my head in his direction and saw nothing but the forest. I then tried to get up but was pushed back down to the ground by a hand suddenly slamming down on my shoulder.
" Argh!" I protested but it didn't change anything. His face was suddenly in front of mine.
" … I am going to give you one last chance… Trust me, I'm not afraid to end your pathetic little excuse for a life… change, and you can start the new life" He said and I felt his hand return to my neck. I could feel the tear's starting to come. So this is how it ends? Granted, I was in my favourite place, the forest. And I was surrounded by what I love, Nature. But this is not how it's supposed to end. So many thing's crossed my mind all at the same time it was hard to encounter them all. First the stupid little thing's like, I haven't finished school yet or there's so much I still have to do in life… But that's just it, I still need to live my life. Suddenly the faces off all my friends crossed my mind and I was having trouble holding back the tear's. Finally the face of the one I loved crossed my mind and I couldn't stop the tear's any longer.
" Please, I'm begging you…" I sobbed " I can't…" I was whispering now. "Please…"
I noticed his free hand lift up into the air and the hands round my neck tightened. I closed my eye's as I started to feel the hand become unbearably tight. I couldn't breath.
" Stop!" A female voice suddenly called from what sounded like a few yards away.
The hand didn't loosen. I could feel myself becoming weaker and weaker until I felt faint.
Suddenly the hand disappeared and I started panting and gasping for air. I tried to sit up but the pain in my back from being thrown against the tree just made me collapse back down again. I tried again and managed to successfully sit up, despite the pain. The sound of someone yelling out in pain suddenly filled my ear's and I glanced in the direction it came from. It looked like the man and the women were fighting and by the look's of thing's, the women had won. The man was lying flat out on the ground and the women stood beside him with one foot on his chest pinning him down. She then held out her hand to help him up. Why the hell she did after just fighting him, I don't know but I guess I'm about to find out.  He took it without any second thoughts and brushed himself off.
" Why the hell did you do that?!" He then shouted and shot a deathly glare in my direction.
" Look, calm it… I got it wrong" She women said quickly. She then looked away, almost embarrassed.
" You… what? " the man said looking appalled. She didn't answer.
" Va-" He begun then looked at me for half a second then back at her. I guess that was her name and I'm not allowed to know.
It had been silent for only a few second's but it felt like hour's.
" I…" The girl said, breaking the silence. The man waited. She sighed.
" Look, I'm sorry… I got the dates wrong… she's only 13" She was whispering now.
" … w-what?" the man stuttered.
" She's not 18 yet… I got it wrong" she whispered, looking away again.
It fell silent again.
I felt an itch in the back of my throat and I had to cough. When I did, they both looked round me at the exact same time. I'd obviously snapped them back to there attention from thinking.
I looked away but then suddenly  heard the sound of someone move closer. I immediately looked back at them and found my self face to face with the women.
" Oh" I said in surprise, wishing I'd said nothing.
" shoosh, It's okay, you don't have to be afraid anymore… I'm sorry about him" she said in a soothing voice. It took quite a weird effect on me considering I'd just came face to face with death. She sighed.
" … You weren't supposed to meet me nor him until much later in life" she begun. I nodded, not really understanding.
" And, well… put it this way, I wish I would explain everything that's happened but the truth is… I seriously can't… and I'm not just saying that" She had a sorry kinda look in her eye's. I nodded again and she smiled.
" Thanks for understanding" Her smile grew wider and she added a small giggle at the end which surprised me. I raised an eyebrow.
" Oh, sorry" She whispered " But how could you act so calm after everything that's happened? I mean, shouldn't you be in shock or something?" She giggled again. I smiled. there was something about this girl that reminded me of the sister I've always wanted.
" I know…" I whispered back. It was weird how it was only a matter of minutes ago I was scared about my life ending and now I feel so comforted.
" Ahem" the man cleared his throat giving me a small fright and as I'd guessed, the women giggled making me smile again. She then sighed but still smiled.
" I'm sorry, but I need to go now… I'm also sorry for everything that's happened" She looked back round at the man then back again. Although I've only know this women for a few minutes I felt attached to her and for some strange reason, I didn't like the idea of her leaving.
" Don't worry…" She whispered. She then lifted her hand and brushed it against my cheek. " You'll see me again, I promise…" And with that she stood up and walked back towards the man.
" Oh, and one more thing… don't tell anyone about what happened, okay?"
" I promise…" I said with a nod.
" See ya later I guess… oh, before I forget, I think there are people looking for you, in a near by woods" She said and I nodded again. I wonder who was looking for me. I looked back round and they were gone. Just disappeared.
I looked down at my clothes. I forgot I was still in my school stuff. My white shirt was now covered in mud and had a huge rip in it. I was gonna have a hell of a job explaining this to mum. It then struck me that threw out thee entire time that I was worried of this being my last day, the thought of my family never came to me. Not once. But, to be honest, I wasn't that surprised.
So they were coming back? Is that what she meant by ' Don't worry, you'll see me again'. Suddenly, all of the happiness and warmth I felt with the girl around became fear. I need to go threw all of that again? … Well, not if I can help it. I've only once before in my life considered suicide, but I don't know if I'm actually strong or brave enough to actually try. And if I were to tell anyone close, like my best friend why I was doing it, I'd need a pretty good excuse. What could I say? What could be so bad that I had to end my entire, unlived life? … my father. I stopped at that. Yes, I'd use him as thee excuse. He wanted to see me or he wanted me back or something. I probably would pull it off, after all, lying is one of the thing's I'm best at, though I'm not proud of it.
I sighed heavily and stood up slowly to retraced my path, back the way I'd came. Along the way I found pieces of broken glass and picked a shard up, not actually wanted to do anything with it. I ran the sharp point at the end down my arm once, just to see how sore it would be. To my surprise, it wasn't that bad. I continued my walk, thinking about how I was going to explain the rip in my shirt to mum. Along the walk, I came across two people near a brick wall, not too far away from where I was standing. I suddenly gathered who they were and realised that one of them didn't belong here.
