The rope they had tied around her wrists and ankles were too tight, but she knew that was on purpose. They always treated the choosen sacrifice roughly, until New Years day at least. When New Years came around they did the girl's hair (Her blond hair was in a french braid) and threw them in a dress (Her's was a soft pink) worth 10 times more than their life and then when the moon began to raise, they would throw tie the girl on the altar and leave her to die.
Dakota didn't know why she had been choosen, but she had. They pulled her out of work one day and tossed her in a cell without a word and she had been powerless to stop it. And now she was tied up, and waiting for the monster to show it's face. Soon enough Dakota would be face to face with death, and she was terrified.
Eveytime she forced herself to scan the word's edges, she would see movement. The shadows seemed to toy with her and push her closer and closer to the edge. But she had to stay calm, even when facing certain death, because freaking out wouldn't save her here. Nothing would be able to save her but the monster's mercy.
