Jack weaved me out of the crowd to some place more quiet. We turned a corner behind the town hall.
"So what's your story?" I stammered, I didn't want anyone to know, but the look on Jack's face told me that he wanted to help. I sighed and started.
I had been walking home late one night, and I took a shortcut through the park. I saw a figure leaning against a tree, and as I walked past I saw him look up and started following me. I picked up my pace, trying to ditch him. But he was close behind me. I took a sharp turn the the left and broke into a run. He was right behind me, but I didn't hear his footsteps behind me, I heard a breeze beneath him, like he was floating. I sprinted into a forest, by now my lungs were burning and I pace was slowing. He was catching me up. He drew a knife out of his pocket and threw it at me, luckily it struck a nearby tree. He left the knife on the tree and got another knife. I couldn't go on any longer. I several trees with doors on them, the one closest to me had a pumpkin on it.
"Get here, Betha!"
I ran into the door and entered the Hinterlands.
Jack looked shocked when I told him my story. "So, you know nothing about him, but he knows
you." I nodded.
Jack tried to lighten the suituation.
"Your name is Betha, then?"
I nodded. "Yeah, Bethany Clare."
-Now you know my story and my name. Freaky huh?
