He opened his mouth to call out for help but found he couldn't he had rarely used his voice in the last six months except for screaming. Gaining a sudden burst of energy, the boy ran faster, becoming close enough to see two people, a man and a woman, sitting on elegant looking chairs next to the flames, furniture that was out of place in the woods. Just as the boy was loosing hope that he would ever get away from this latest monster, he caught sight of a fire a little ways away. The effects of his starvation were starting to take their tole on him his vision was blurring and his muscles felt weak, making avoiding trees in the dark as he ran very difficult. It had been thirty-six hours since the boy had last eaten, and thirteen hours since he'd had something to drink.
The boy had been running from monsters like that thing for the past six months, since he had been kicked onto the street, and even sometimes before that.

The small boy ran through the woods, praying his little legs would carry him faster than the monster could catch up to him.
