The BANSHEE

                        ....          **** 


 The blast of the horn woke her up..

 The sound was piercing. .slicing through her head like a knife .

The searing pain was blinding She blinked a couple of times and shook her heard to clear the cobwebs of a thousand thoughts running through her head like tiny solder ants on a rampage. 

 It was pitch black The night was cold. .her nostrils flared with the cold breeze She shivered..right to her bones the chills rose..Causing her to chatter her teeth.


 She was barely clothed. Her bones cracked with every move and she felt numb and weak. She looked around She didn't recognised anything. . She pulled herself into a sitting position .She felt sore. .


 The middle of her thighs burned as though someone had forced something in. Fear gripped her..She blinked back the tears that threatened to drop. The throbbing pain in her head increased. She raised her hand to her head..it was damp..more than damp it was wet.. Out of curiousity she rubbed the wet area and brought her hand back to the front of her face ..Her eyes widened when she realised. .it was red...soaking wet and dripping through her fingers in deep cloats.


 She must have fallen and hitten her head.. That was her first thought But out in the middle of nowhere She closed her eyes..to steady herself She felt dizzy again but she needed to be awake and call for help She opened her mouth to scream for help but her voice failed her ..

 It felt sore and cracked as though she was screaming for hours. Her throat felt patch and she was dehydrated. .she licked her lips and winced almost immediately. . She tasted blood..her mouth was swollen and she raised her hand to touch her lips... 

Tears filled her eyes again.. Each side of her mouth was sliced ..as though she had run into a sharpened blades-Saw mouth on.. Her hands shook slightly. She dragged herself. .Each move she winced with pain..her insides felt bloated. She looked back..she realised she left a trail at wake .

 She turned away..she pulled and dragged herself down the darkened alley Blood dripping down her head ..covering her eyes..her mouth filled with bile...her legs..weak and feeble...her inner thighs soared with pain imaginable ... 

 And her mind a fog of mist... 

 Where am I What happened to me Who did this to me How have I deserved this Why did they leave me for dead.. This questions played in her head like words of poetry confusing yet precise. She dug into the dark recluse of her mind She didn't mind the pain 

 Every bruised pull through the hardened rocky surface of the earth. .she welcomed the pain She adjusted and allowed it fill her.  

It rebirthed her
 It accept her
 It gave her a purpose 
 A mission
 A revenge
 A dark heart... 


 And with that..

 Each pull turned into a crawl
 Each drag welcomed all fours And with a renewed strenght The sound came from within It emanated from her tummy Feeling her lungs And with an outcry Louder than the howling of mountain wolf More shrill than the cry of a warrior eagle Her mouth opened .. it sounded as though like a wail of a wounded animal 

Shuddering the peace of those who heard Shattering the windows into tiny perfect slices Peircing her ears causing blood to sprout out in two precise directions Her eyes clouded into a misty icy black And with that force. .it threw her.. As though hit by a lightening bolt.. Her form slouched into a ball. Head between her legs.. And when she gained herself Her head cleared.. Her memories flooded in..like a hurricane And one by one every shred of memory of the night before played out...just like a scene of a horror movie 

Every figure
 Every smell 
Every reason
 Every act.. 

 She slowly rises up..standing on her own two feets unwavering,clear -eyed,focused and sure She knew where she was And how how she got here And remembered all And where she needed to go And why. 


 A smile played tentatively at the corners of her sliced mouth And the only words that could be heared in the cold eerie night of the darkened alley in which she woke up to.. 


 Bruised.. 
Broken
 Beaten 
Raped
 And left for dead.


 Barely a few minutes ago Was the sound of her laughter ..and words spoken in bitterness. "You lot should have killed me.. Now there is no saving you. .".. She walked into the night... 

The hissing of the slightering creature that curled around her ankle didnt bother her.. It's bite wasn't even felt.. "I already died..your venom is well received"... before she crushed it's head with her hands. . It was a cold night People say they saw a woman ..

After they heard a loud Peircing scream come out of a darkened alley.. Wearing little to be seen.. 

She walked through the cold night.. And the night was as silent as a grave as if they too knew something evil and strange walked among them..

 And the dangers of the night knew when to be quiet...because she who lurks in the night was more evil than what they once knew....
