Wolves Night

Juniper's feet slammed down upon the wet earth. She could feel her muscles straining ,trying to continue to push her forward deeper into the thick brush of the forest. Her hair sticking to her neck and face from her exertion. She knew he was pushing her further and further into the forest to confuse her and separate her form the others. Her legs finally gave out, energy all but depleted. Juniper collapsed onto the wet moss covered forest floor. She began taking big gulps of air trying to catch her breath. The forest had gone quite. No longer could she hear the screams and shouts of the others. She let her gaze travel across the forest not being able to make out much due to the thick brush blocking the moons light. She held her breath waiting...listening. The hairs on the back of her neck stood forward. Something was watching her.

A dark chuckle echoed out across the forest before a slow mocking clap followed suit. "I admire the effort darling. I truly do. For a second there you had me fooled." He called out. She found sight of him just walking within the small clear opening where she had collapsed. Juniper bared her teeth at him as her rage set it. "Fuck you." She growled. A smirk formed on his lips and his eyes shown with something she couldn't name. He stood in front of her before grabbing her chin pushing her face to the side bearing her neck. He would try to make her submit to him like all the others but she would not. "Now that isn't how a lady should talk." He scolded. She tried to rip her face from his grasp but it caused him to dig his fingers deeper into her skin. "Good thing I've never been much of a lady then." She replied. He threw back his head laughing, his neck vulnerable. Juniper wished nothing more than to rip out his jugular with her own teeth. He looked her over his gaze skimming over her body in an appraising manner sending shivers down her spin and her stomach to turn in disgust. "In that you are correct."
