The deadly arrow. A story written by Anastasia, a 12- year-old student of mine.

This story was part of  a writing project and this is what Anastasia came up with:

I had been walking through the forest for several hours when I suddenly heard something behind me. I looked back but everything looked all right. When I took the next step I saw something sharp flying next to me. I was scared so I walked and found that thing. It was a long arrow.
I turned my head back and I saw someone. He looked big and strange but I couldn't see him very well though I felt that he was more than just a person.
I was so frightened I didn't know what to do. Then I heard something again and I started to run like a maniac. He threw me another arrow and it hit my shoe. I pulled it out and started to run again, I climbed a tree and he missed me for a moment but the branch I was sitting broke and he saw me. I started running again and then I fell down because of another arrow. More people came, they caught me and took me to a small cage.
I tried to escape but they saw me and and threw me another arrow. It was poisonous so it made me sleep. When I woke up I felt so different and then I saw that they had cut off one of my hands. I screamed loudly.
I lost my senses and fell down. I woke up in two days. I couldn't see well and my eyes were closing.
"This is the end" I told myself and I closed my eyes again slowly.
