The Dark

1: The Woods.

Miet walked through the woods, dirt covering her small, light lavender paws.  She could only see what was covered in the light her flashlight provided her, it was night.  The tall, dark brown trees intimidated her with their size, she was on edge, jumping slightly whenever she heard the soft crack of a leaf that was not caused by her. 

'Must be an animal... It's a forest...' she thought, as she continued walking.  She looked down at her arms, they were covered by her pastel yellow sweater, her small, light lavender paw-like hands only coming out to hold the flashlight.

*Snap.*  She heard a twig break, she swiftly looked around, frantically maneuvering her flashlight to find whatever she could.  She looked down, there was no twig.  She was starting to reconsider looking for her brother this late at night.  She then assumed it was an animal, as she continued to walk.  Her light turquoise eyes still held worry as they shone in the little moonlight that was left, as it was blocked by the tall oak trees. 

She turned around to head back home, and started to walk again.  She had been walking for a good five minutes before stopping in realisation.

'I'm proabably going in any direction because I had to turn a lot to dodge trees...' she thought, quickly pulling her arm up to facepalm.   She was disappointed in herself, she was lost.  She decided to keep walking though, the woods can't be that big, can they? 

As she was walking, it started to drizzle, small drops of water filtered through the leafs of the trees above her, a drop landing on her little pink nose.  She continued to walk, the rain starting to pour a bit heavier every few minutes until it turned into a full rain. 

She started to run, not wanting to get soaked, although she had no problem with water, which was somewhat strange because she was a feline, she did have a problem with wet clothing sticking to her fur.  She knew running would only make it worse, but it did help her get places quicker.

As she was running, slashes started to appear on the trees.  She ran quicker, turning her flashlight off so whatever it was couldn't follow her, even though it was darker due to the flashlight being turned off, she felt a little more secure without the light. 

She tripped over a big branch, her small form falling onto the forest ground, dirt staining her paws and her wet, pastel yellow sweater.  She tried to get up, but something- someone. Someone was holding her down.  Her breathing was quick, she was frightened.  She didn't know what was going to happen to her...

She saw a dark, tall figure loom above her, the figure raised an object over its head, and swiftly brought it down on Miet, she screamed in pain as it hit her head.  That's when, everything went dark for her.
