A/N: This is just a random scene. It's not from any story I've written or plan on writing and it's become readily apparent to me, that it will never be anything more than just this scene. Please reveiw!!
The pressure in the room built until Jana was sure it would crush her. She stood and walked onto her back porch taking deep breaths. A nice walk in the woods, that would calm her she thought. She grabbed her sneakers from inside the back door and slipped them on.
She looked to the sky as she came to the edge of the forest. The clouds she had seen earlier had grown heavy and now threatened to engulf her. She unknowingly picked up her pace slightly as her breaths came quicker. As she continued on her usual path through the woods Jana remembered all the times she had walked here with him. As she reached the fork in the path she took a left knowing it held no old memories. Thunder rumbled somewhere behind her and Jana knew the rain would soon follow. She smiled a little; a cool rain would wash away her sins. She turned her attention to her new surroundings with the knowledge everything would be back to normal in a few minutes.
The calming sounds of the insects going about their lives seemed to grow and suddenly it was deafening. They were all talking about her. Once more her pace quickened. She looked around at the trees, the ground, the sky trying to spot the gossipers. The darkness grew as the rain began to cover her. The warm rain hit her face and it burned as if it were acid.
No longer able to walk, Jana broke into a run. She had to leave; she needed to escape. How could everything have gone so wrong? Work was only growing worse and her only solace had left her. Sobs tore through her as her tears mixed with the stinging rain bringing no comfort. How could he have left her like that? How was she to know? Trees began to grab at Jana’s clothing as if punishing her for some unknown betrayal. This wasn’t her fault. A large spider’s web wrapped it self around Jana as she now tried to escape the trees. Barely able to see through her tears she couldn’t see the path, couldn’t even tell if there was still a path to follow, but she had to keep running. It would all catch her soon; she had to escape it. The brush around the ground had begun to help the trees. It was grabbing at her ankles, trying to make her fall. She stumbled but pulled herself up and continued to run. The wind howled at her, telling her to stop. The brush had not given up its pursuit of her and suddenly it grabbed hold of her and pulled her down to the ground.
Something caught her as she fell. It caught her and it eased her to the ground, but didn’t let go. Jana beat the thing that held her captive. She couldn’t let this stop her. Didn’t it understand that she needed to get away? She continued flailing trying to get away, but the thing only tightened its grip. Quickly losing her strength Jacqueline gave herself over to being captured. She expected the thing to tear her to pieces, to make sure she never saw daylight again. The longer she waited, the longer nothing happened. Her sobbing slowed just long enough for her curiosity to get the better of her. Jana looked up through bloodshot eyes into the concerned face of a young man. One look at him and Jana was again overtaken by tears.
