One Last Tail

Chapter Zero - Pilot

(Quick note - This story was originally gonna be called "Last of the Nine-Tails" but the other night I thought about it and it made no sense. This wolf does not have nine tails.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      I kept running, not in fear, but in pain. Running just to survive. Its what all cowards like me do in the face of battle. 

      Life is hard when hunters are chasing you. Every. Single. Day. The only way to survive is to keep checking. Keep watching. Keep listening for those guards outside with guns and traps waiting for me to step in them.

      I knew I was getting weaker by the minute. My wounds kept bleeding and bleeding. Not eternally, just... Bleeding. My front left paw was broken and my right was bleeding heavily.

-------------------------------------------------

        After I lost them, I laid down, panting.

       Before I got the chance to sleep, I heard a snap and smelt a human. My head snapped up. growling loudly, I thought it was a hunter. I was surprised to see a women in front of me. I watched her every movement.

"Are you okay Mr.Wolf? Are you hurt?" She asked with concern. I could hear the sadness in her voice.

I just continued to stare at her.

Then I spoke. (Don't question it please.) "Go away. Just let me die here."

Her eyes widened in surprise. Then she looked sad.

"Every life is worth living, worth love. Please let me help you..." She said again, Tears falling from her eyes.

"Leave. Me. be." I growled which instantly became a whimper.

She rushed forward picking me up. I badly wanted to snap at her, but... I couldn't...

(I know this was short. But this is just a pilot. So.... What do you think?)
