God Save Me[yoda's challenge]

My lungs were on fire and my legs ached like they never had before, but i couldn’t stop. I kept sprinting, corridor after corridor. Those things behind me, i had to get away from them. I couldn’t even believe they’d found me, after so many years, how was it possible? Tears sprang to my eyes as i remembered the sight of my sister’s head flying off her shoulders after being cut off by one of them. One of them, what were they? Damned souls who drank blood and killed without mercy. I couldn’t become one of them, i had to get away. I sprang from the dungeons leaping up the stairs two at a time as fast as i could. I flung open the doorway and sped off into the night. I looked behind me and saw nothing. They weren’t following me. I turned around, i was almost touching the gate! I was almost there, just a little further!
“AGH!” I cried out as a cold arm snatched me around the waist, pulled me close to their hard body.
“NO NO NO , GOD SAVE ME !” i cried, but it was of no use.
