Darkness is coming...Help..Blood.. I Cant...run..No...NO!
I wake up in a wet pile of blood, I feel as it still slowly leaks out of my piercing wound, I look around my soundings and jump up startled but then weakly fall over in pain. Breathing heavy, my flank rising up and down with growing fear.
Where am I..? I slowly get up and try to gather my bearings, as I put pressure on my forepaws I feel a pricing pain and flinch, my eyes widen as I finally realize my paw was broken. "What?" I was so confused.
I don't remember anything happening...
I look around I don't see anything nothing but darkness and the light of the moon, shining down upon me in the dead of the night. My legs start shaking uncontrollably as I listen to all of the mysterious sounds of the deep 'empty' forest.

I sit down up against a tree and all of a sudden I feel I tight pain in my stomach, I'm hungry... and have no idea when the last time I ate was. Hunger consumes me and I decide to limp over to a small clearing near the spot I awoke. I take in the scents of the the musty forest air but I only smell the damp leaves and my own blood, a rabbit... but gone by now, that's for damn sure. I twitch my ears as I hear a movement in the forest, i can't tell the direction and start to get nervous, I poke my head up high with caution. My tail starts swaying back and forth viciously as I look back and forth.
I look up at the moon with wide eyes "You seem so far away..." I whisper as I send a quick prayer to starlight. Taking a deep breath I relax the tense muscles in my upper limbs and move closer the the sound of rustling leafs in darkness.
As I get closer I see a slight glowing color, turns out I see pricing eyes in the shadows of a bush. What ever it is.. It pounces.. directly towards me. My eyes go wide and I shrink to the ground
I have no time to react
