Her dark hair snagged on an out reached branch as she darted through the ancient woods. Her breath coming out in short gasps as she fought the sharp pang in her side. She could hear the beast crashing through the underbrush behind her. She tried to run faster as fear clinched her heart and made her blood run cold. She stumbled on an up-reaching tree root and fell to her hands and knees. She scrambled to her feet ignoring her bruised knees and scraped palms. A sharp screech pierced the night as the beast gained on her, she almost caught a whiff of its foul, acrid breath.
Suddenly she came through the trees and to a great cliff with a large waterfall cascading down into a midnight blue pool. There was a loud crash from behind and she knew that the beast had caught up with her. She had no choice. She leapt over the edge and dove into the darkness of the cold clear water as the beast let out an angry, frustrated screech.
Her body slammed into the icy water and the darkness engulfed her.
