She felt the dry crispy leaves beneath her feet as she ran swaying left and right in order to avoid the tree's in her way, her only thoughts were on their escape and survival as they ran through the dark forest. Up ahead she could see her brother who was just that little bit faster and behind she could hear the town where they had made their plan and put it into action. The plan was to escape their 'loving' family and to survive by any means possible, after all she thought anything is better than staying with them right? Even if it meant running through the dirt and plants in the freezing cold rain is a place she didn't know.
He ran a little way ahead looking for anything that might offer them shelter for the night, thinking back on how everything had come about he realised that they didn't really think out what they were going to do once they escaped, the boy, for that is what he was, ran like he never had before deep into the forest he and his sister had spotted when they first arrived in town with their family, at first his 6 year old mind came up with the perfect plan to get away from the hellish life but now cold, hungry and tired he wasn't so sure, not that these feelings were any different back where he came from he was always cold and hungry but at least then the siblings had shelter from the unrelenting rain.
Finally the boy spotted a cave, he turned to see his sister and alert her to the dry shelter a little way ahead, slowing down to wait he stood looking at the cave thinking it was brilliant and the best thing he had ever come across, holding his sisters hand they both ran for the dry and slightly warmer place than the open wide. Once they were inside they both dropped to the ground hugging each other tightly that was until they heard the growl. Looking up their eyes met the pair of mystic blue/silver eyes.
