Run.
Run.
Run.
Each pounding step reflected her mind signaling one command- run, her childish frame followed the command. Growls, snarls and heavy footsteps ripped through the night as she tore through the undergrowth, her lungs burning with every ragged breath. The moon shone bright illuminating it's gentle hue, bathing everything in a cold glow, every twig that snapped underfoot felt like a signal to the larger footsteps chasing her, her legs screamed with every stride as she leaped through brambles, sweat stinging her eyes but she pushed forward, she couldn't stop; couldn't quit, not until she was out...not until she was free.
Thud-thud-thud
Leaves crackled and twigs snapped with rapid bursts as the growls grew, dry branches splintered under hurried feet, each crunch echoing in the silence, as she heard the ho, ragged breaths of the hounds almost at her heels.
Her breaths tore from her throat, her breathing came in quick bursts-- "hah, hah, hah" -- too loud in her ears, too loud when the men were so close. Each step grew heavier, yet she forced her body forward, the forest blurred past in streaks of shadow and silver light as she hurled herself deeper into the dark. Her legs burned but the trees were thinning.
Up ahead, pale silver spilled through the branches - moonlight, an opening, maybe even safety. Her chest heaved with hope as she pushed harder, the shouts behind her were fading, drowned out by the hammering of her heart. Just a little farther, just a few more steps-
"What the hell are you?" I screamed. The more I scooted away towards the darkness, the more their eyes glowed. I hyperventilated as they grew nearer and nearer. "Calm down, human. Come quietly and we might not kill you." I stumbled to my feet and ran. I didn't make it far before I was swiped off my feet. My body painfully hit the ground and I gasped for air. My aching body screamed at me to get up. I began to drag myself away. Even if I didn't make it, at least I tried. I was lifted and easily thrown into a tree. The force vibrated through my body. I coughed up blood as I landed. I lay on my stomach, unable to move. Is this how everything ends? Is this how I die? I can't die here. A foot stomped itself onto my back. An empty, breathless scream came out of me. "You stupid human. What a lowlife. I changed my mind. Who wants worthless trash like you? Die quickly, will you?"
The pressure intensified by the second. I screamed in pain. No. No. No. I was about to give up on hope. A voice boomed through the forest. It was full of anger, dominance, and blood-thirst. It sent shivers down every inch of my body. "Get off my mate."
