Tall Grass

Fatal Wound

Chapter 2

Stopping dead in my tracks, I held my breath trying to hear what was following me. I slowly turned around to the right and peered into the tall grass. At that moment I heard a small squeal as a Teddiursa jumped out of the grass and ran right up to me.

I let out my breath and relaxed as I smiled at the Teddiursa and offered it a piece of cereal that fell into my pocket. The Teddiursa took it and then peered back into the forest of grass. Immediately, I looked up and saw blood red eyes staring at us.

Teddiursa fled the scene and left me face to face with the eyes. I tried to stand up in order to make a break for it. In an instant, the eyes lunged out of the grass and tackled me with its huge claws almost cutting into my arms. Now in the sunlight, I could see the white fur and the red scar of the Zangoose on top of me. Within a few seconds, the Zangoose's claws were slashing at my face and slightly cutting it up. Then to end it all, the two pronged fist of uncontrolled rage lodged itself into my stomach.

Breathing heavily, I turned on my side and watched the Zangoose go back into the grass. Loosing my vision, I saw a bright purple and pink flash come from the grass and a figure coming towards me at a fast pace.

And then it all went black.
