It was complete chaos.

Tord frantically ran through his village only seeing many rabbits running it in the same direction he was, all of them screaming in fear to get away from the ruthless pack of wolves running through their poor small town.

The sound of the wolves barking and snarling sent chills down his spine as he continued to run. He was trying to make it back to his home to save his mother and his father. Tears started running down his furry cheeks at the thought of him being too late.

Tord quickly looked back to see if he got some distance away from the predators hungry for his flesh. The sight was just horrible to see.

One of them was chewing on the leg of a dead rabbit as they ran with the rest, another completely covered in the blood of his kind, and the last one..the leader of the pack just had to look of disgust like they wanted every last one of us dead.

Tord gasped at the sight and picked up the speed on running. He quickly made a turn to go down the street his home was to escape the wolves and save his parents but he heard snarling from behind him. He turned around only to see a wolf running after him. Tord screamed in fear, running quicker than ever to escape his demise and save his family from theirs. He finally got some distance from the wolf behind him but he wasn't prepared for what he would see next.

Tord started to sob as he saw his house. The front door was open and it had claw marks on the door, "No no no.." He cried out. Tord ran into his home seeing furniture flipped over, paintings and pictures on the floor scattering glass everywhere, and blood was splattered on the floor and walls.

"Mom?! D-Dad?!" Tord ran around the house trying to find his parents. He ran into the living room and there they were..his father's stomach was torn open and his insides spilling out and his mother was crying while being under the paw of the wolf feasting on his father.

Tord's heart sunk and his body began to shake as more tears poured down his cheeks. His mother looks at him with tears in her eyes, "RUN TORD!!" She screamed at her son. Tord turned to run after hearing those words from his mother but he only ran into the wolf following him. His ears sunk as he backed away out of fear.

The wolf feasting on his father slowly raised its paw off of his mother's head and slowly approached Tord from behind. Both of them started snarling, "No- please! I beg of you!" Tord cried loudly. Suddenly a sharp pain was felt and Tord screamed out loud. The wolf bit him and raised them up in their maw. They started to shake their head, splattering the young buck's blood across the room.

Tord sobbed and cried for them to stop but they didn't. His mother couldn't bear watching her poor child suffer a horrible fate like this so..she used whatever power she had left and grabbed a shard of glass from the broken pictures.

Without a second thought, she jammed the shard into the wolf's leg causing them to howl out in pain and drop Tord. One of the wolves glared at his mother while the other continued to howl.

"Run Tord! Run!" She screamed. Tord who was breathing heavily used all of his strength to run over to the nearby broken window and jump out of it, fleeing to a safer place. His mother gently smiled feeling happy he escaped.

"Take care of yourself, sweetheart.."

Tord panted heavily not feeling the strength to go on much longer. He coughed up blood as more spilled out of his bite wound, "Mom..d-dad.."

Tord began to sob again. His mother sacrificed herself for a future he probably won't even be able to live, "W-Water..I need water..so thirsty." Tord said through his sobbing. The sound of water make his ear twitched. He must be near the creek, "W-Water.." Tord slowly walked over to the streaming water and bowed his head down at it.

In his reflection, he saw himself covered in blood. He looked so tired and weak, "Water.." He quickly began to drink out of the creek but he was still thirsty. Tord raised his head away from the stream, his vision was getting blurry and he could barely stand on all of his fours.

"I..I can't-"

Everything went black.

Hahaha, depressing I know-
