Chapter Text
You didn’t think you would be able to run much longer. Your soul pounded in your rib cage and, though you didn’t necessarily need to breathe, your chest heaved with the effort. Your bare feet clicked as you stumbled.
A gunshot echoed throughout the dense woods You were running through. The sound bounced off the trees and filled you with fear.
How did they keep finding you? It was the question you kept asking yourself. They weren’t even using the dogs like last time. Suddenly it hit you. The last time you tried to run, they injected you with something. Right into your marrow. You looked down at your arm and cringed.
You summoned a bone attack, not pausing from your running. You sure hoped you were right. After all, things don’t go too far through bone.

You had gotten rid of your tail. The humans’ footsteps had receded and you were finally safe. Safe. Almost foreign to you. It was warm and welcoming. A feeling you wanted to give in to. You declined. The only time you were going to be safe was if you were inside of that mountain, where no one can reach you.
You continued to move your aching bones, the exhaustion holding you back slightly. When you could take no more, you collapsed on the ground. You tried to get up and fell. Concentrating, you finally stood and managed to press forward in a slow walk. You lost your footing, and fell into a very deep,

A sickening crack was barely heard over the wind flowing past you. Pain exploded in your face and your vision went black.
