            I was running as fast as I could to try and keep up with the rest of the trolls, but my lungs burned and all I wanted to do was fall over and accept the enviable. Yet, I kept running cause I had a chance and it's the least I could do for my family who didn't make it to this day. I pull my (f/c) hair with black streaks up into a messy bun. After my family was eaten, I have slowly been slipping into sadness and that's why my hair is kinda...well a hot mess, still, I fight off the feelings, and I keep pushing forward as I hear the king yell out randomly, " No troll left behind!!".

           I roll my eyes at his statement, funny how people say one thing, but when their necks are on the line... No (Y/N)... I glance up at my hair as I see another strain turn to black and I take a deep breath as I try to think as positive as I possibly can. just a little more... " ahhh" I shout as a hammer slams into the ground barely missing me, sending me rolling into one of the holes in the wall and away from the path of the others.

           My arms and legs hit hard against the hard ground as I start grabbing for anything to slow myself down, but my hair ends up getting wrapped around my body and I with it I am at the mercy of the impact of constantly hitting the cold dirt beneath me as I roll even deeper into darkness. Slowly I start to slow down, but during the bumpy ride I had hit my head so my reaction time is pretty iff as I come to a complete stop and start to untangle my hair from the rest of my body. " h-huh" I look around to see I am surrounded by tall colorful trees and plants, I let out a laugh as I jump up in joy.

           "haha, I did it, Mom and dad! I'm free..." yet, that happiness didn't last long, it came like a smack in the face that I am celebrating this on my own. I spin around looking for a sign of any of the other trolls, but I see no one.

           " yea...freedom is so great Mom and dad", I dust off my shirt and ( pants or skirt)).

          Ok (Y/N), you got this just gotta find a safe place for the night, heck I do not really wanna be around the others anyway. Just then I feel a drop of water hit my cheek. I raise my fingers to my face, and realize at some point I had started crying, "it's not fair...not fair not fair not fair!!!!" I shout as my knees hit the ground and I start punching the ground as hard as I can.

           My hair falls out of my hair tie and flows over my shoulder, covering my face and it is slowly beginning to lose the rest of its color, turning it completely black, my skin turning into a grayish, sickly color. It didn't matter though as I let the sadness and grieve I've been fighting swell up inside me, I'm tired to tired to fight anymore, what in the hell is happiness anyway, and how did I fake it for so long? I will never know. I continue to hit the ground till my hands are covered in nothing but blood (curious do they bleed or does glitter just come out? Lol oh well) and I fall over as darkness begins to cloud my vision and sleep takes me over. I can figure out what to do in the morning.

           Author's Note: Hello, sorry after reading one of these fanfictions, I kinda wanted to give it a shot myself, this is the first story I am ever publishing so I am kinda scared to do so and I really do not know if anyone's gonna read it but if you do please tell me what I can improve cause I am still learning.
