Mihpo again tore through the bushes. I frantically raced after him, sweating more from exhaustion. Adrenaline drove me foward, but I soon lost all sight of Mihpo. Great, fucking fantastic. I grumbled to myself, and tried to use whatever I could to block those metallic sounds out and make them get stuck. I ripped small trees down, and turned sharp turns. But those things were still behind me, getting faster each second. My vision blurred for a solid minute, and I almost collapsed. I tried climbing up a big tree, my hands bled, but I ignored it. I'll deal with it later, if I even live, that is. The Cutters all of a sudden just went limp on the forest floor, clicking and whirring faintly. I stayed where I was, panting and sweating. Night started to fall. I started to panic. "Mihpo?!?!!!" I screamed, no answer. "Shit." I looked down at the Cutters, they still looked dead. Maybe they died.... I climbed down the tree cautiously, making sure not to make a noise. Well that plan went to waste, because I soon went crashing to the ground. Right on top of a Cutter's spike. I screamed out, and pain filled my  chest and back. I got up, coughing and shaking, blood stained my shirt. I winced and held my shirt. "Fucking hell..." I said, grimacing. I held onto a tree, I felt very faint.

I still could not find Mihpo. I returned to the tree. "Where the hell... is he." I noticed the Cutters were still there, looking dead. I felt something bubbling up my throat, and I gripped my shirt. I coughed blood. "Shit." I kicked the Cutters.

BADDDD idea.

They sprang to life, their needles clicking and whirring. I shrieked, and started to run. Blood ran down, pain filled my chest as I breathed, and I almost collapsed. I again zig zagged through the forest, I dodged trees and bushes, tearing through the landscape. Tears ran down my face from the pain and leaves hitting my face. I heard a Cutter scream out, and I turned to look behind me, one had got stabbed by a tree. "Haha!!" My victory was cut short by the two more that had still survived. I ran and ran. I climbed up the same tree, as I realized I was running in circles. The Cutters went "dead" again. My hands shook, and I coughed up more of the red. I gasped for air and cried.

Midnight fell, I had laid on a branch, trying to keep myself calm. I was losing blood fast. I had to find a way back. Where is Mihpo when I need him. God dammit. I sat up, the Cutters were still dead. "Hey! You fucking bastards! Go away!" I screamed at them, but they didn't move. I groaned and sat back down on the branch, holding my chest. "This sure is hell." I looked at the sky, no moon. Aw man. Then the clicking and whirring began again, and I looked below my feet. That's when they started to cut up the tree and climb up it. "?! Shit!!!" I jumped and landed on my feet. It felt like hell but I did a blind run. I ran as fast as I could, turning sharp turns.

Whirr-whirr-click-snap-click
Whirr-whirr-whirr-click-click

Those awful sounds kept coming closer and closer. I had killed another one with a tree, only two pursuing on me. Then I saw Mihpo, he started to run once he saw them too. "Follow me closely this time!!" He yelled. "I was! Until you disappeared out of fucking nowhere!!" I said with an attitude. Now was not the time to argue. We had managed to kill another one. Hah! I thought with triumph.

Then everything changed.

"JUNI WATCH OUT FOR THE FUCKING RAVINE!!!" I could hardly hear his yells for some reason, then I felt the ground disappear under me. I felt the wind rush in my ears. I was falling. Down the ravine. Down the deep dark abyss. I screamed out, only to see Mihpo on the edge reaching out. I reached out, but he was way too far away. Falling, and falling, and falling until darkness swallowed me up.
