She sprinted like never before, her heart thrumming in a pace that any sane person would diagnose as her going into cardiac arrest.

However — her tears blurred her vision to the extent that she'd finally tripped over a protruding root in her path — sending her tumbling down a steep slope before she could react.

She could do nothing but just fall.
It burns. The open injuries left her writhing agonizingly, struggling to stand back up. In spite of her best efforts to get up, she was forced to lay down against the dirt. Blood coated her ankles, whereas the thin crimson cascaded down her forearm.

A burning sensation covered her entirety, while her head rested on its side. Gaze beginning to fog as it travels to look up at the nightsky, where the Moon was partially shrouded with clouds.

Bright, white speckles splashed onto the Navy sky seemingly never-ending. The Moon hanging high as the pinnacle of it all, emanating a cold glow till its light finally rained on her as the clouds obstructing it left.

It's cold...

The glacial breeze brushed past her curled figure, eyelids drooping lower as tiny dots line her hazing vision.
