Fall comes and I rot with the leaves

CH1 An Unexpected Event

You did not intend to end up here, an accident. A mistake you are painfully regretting. You weren't supposed to be here, he wasn't even looking for you. Yet here you are... running, bleeding.
Picking up a job as a bodyguard really sounded good at the time, a short detour to help a few humans make it to the next town in exchange for rations. It was supposed to be easy, but an unfortunate coincidence led you to be recognized by Ronan, a general from your ExClan.
You pick up pace,"What is he doing here?! Is there anywhere I can even go?! It's not healing..." you tighten the grasp on your waist. The makeshift bandage made from your top is soaked and you're leaving a blood trail. There's no way you can run and escape now, he won't lose track, he's gaining speed. Maybe it's really that you we're slowing down...As a wolf demon your recuperative abilities are strong, but for a wound this deep you need to divert power. The surprise attack was cheap and caught you off guard. A quick jab from behind. Your senses saved your organs. An attempt to flee was futile, it was obvious now. The blood oozing from your waist floods the air, its warm, heavy. You slow down, come to a complete stop. Catching your breath you whip around, you have to fight.

The leaves around you take air at your swift stop and gently settle. The scent of blood is dizzying. You spot Ronan a short distance away, a blaze of orange and yellow rotting leaves splash behind him. All is silent except for the crunching beneath his boots. Your heart is pounding so hard you feel it in your skull.
You calm yourself, you must remain focused. The enemy approaches. As he approaches you notice that he seems tired, the run has worn him out as well but it was obvious who had the upper hand in this fight. It's been a long time since you last had seen him so close... you study his movements as he beings circling you. "Has the clans prized pet finally decided to show me a few of her tricks?", he whispers as he eyes you up and down.
"I don't need tricks to beat anyone, Unlike you! " you snap clenching your waist. Anger. In a one on one fight head to head, you typically win by a long shot, but you're bleeding out. How could you have been so careless just because you were so far from home?

As he continued to circle he stared at your upper body. Since you were using your top as a bandage, your upper body was bare aside from a thin wrap around your breasts. He grins as he stares "A scent as intoxicating as your loo-"
"Fuck you" you retort quickly
"It didn't have to be this way Nora" he spits.
"It did" you say, remembering all the lies you were fed. You had to be free, no more secrets, no more senseless fighting.
"You cannot be allowed to live I'm sorry pup, but you did this to yourself!"
He lunges forward.
A clash, you dodge the first attack, he swipes at your neck but you brush his attack away with your forearm. A surprise jab to stomach and you choke out blood. Fuck this wound. You're lagging considerably. He gets you again, this time he upper cuts you with his knee.

When you next open your eyes all that you can see is the kaleidoscope of colors; orange, red, yellow.
The leaves? Weakly you turn your head. Your visions blurred & the sound of your heart beat booms, but through it all you can make out someone approaching you. "Once you're dead I'll leave your body here, to wither and rot alongside the leaves, perhaps a few animals will have a feast"
You are to weak to formulate a response,
'It's not so bad,' you think to yourself, 'I have always loved fall'. It brings good memories.
Your vision worsens, you're definitely about to pass out again. You can feel your eyes begin to roll. Your vision goes black, and for a few seconds you brace for the final blow. The feeling of drowsiness is to strong. You feel yourself slipping away, and yet you cannot. 'am I dead yet?'
You take a breath, you're picking up on something stronger than the scent of your own blood. It's not Ronan, who, who is this that I smell? What idiot is wandering on to this? Before you can give it much else thought, your world goes blank.
