Try:
  • But the approaching footsteps limited my time to think. As they got closer and closer I felt my body tremble a little.

Put that first sentence in the past tense. Did she wonder who it was? Did she feel afraid? Did she find herself in tears because she was so afraid?

“Are you ok”? He reached out.
Better than "shiny light" would be "bright light". Say "the pale face of a disheveled woman". Say, "My eyes widened at the sight."

Try:
  • I was running and running. Every time I thought I had gotten away from it I looked up and once again saw the horrible face of that monster.

Say: "Why wouldn't she leave me alone?" The second sentence is a little strange, because tears don't dry that quickly.

Perhaps:
  • "Doctor Allan, when will she leave me alone?" I said, as I looked at the man in front of me for help.
