Creep.

The boy ran wildly through the endlessly dark forest.  Vines and branches violently swiped at his face and arms.  Vicious cuts bore into his skin and his clothing began to wear quickly. Right behind him was something he had never seen before. Some dark creature that had decided to chase him away from his camp site.  The boy's heart raced quickly and he felt as if his heart was going to burst.  His legs ached horridly and he could feel the heartbeat in his ears. After what seemed like hours the boy was running out of energy and breath. Just as he thought he could go no further the boy tripped and slammed onto the ground. All around him was the cool sticky mess of half-dried mud.  Instantly panic rose throughout the boy's mind. He frantically tried to rub mud from his face which only seemed to make his vision worse. Just as silence fell the boy looked up to see the shadow of his attacker.  What he made out was a slender body with a slight green tinge.  The boy sat frozen as his heartbeat reached its heaviest rhythm and a horrible hiss sliced through the silence.  Just as the boy regained control and began to get up and run a powerful flash and explosion rang through the forest.  The boy was never seen again.
