I found this old gem in a notebook shared among my two girlfriends and I. Hopefully you guys like it because I had to do some slight revisions


Heavy breathing escaped from a human female, her heart galloping wildly within her chest as she pushed her body to its physical limit through the dense forest. Sweat collected from her temples, trailing down her face, her neck, slicking her as the exertion exhausted her, her body begging for a reprieve. However, she knew the dire consequences for even considering it. Her eyes darted behind her, fear and determination glowing within their irises before she made a sharp turn through narrow brush.

Her ears could pick up the distorted cackles, aroused exhalations and heavy footfall that were gaining on her with each second. No! She refused to fall prey, refused to go down without any semblance of a fight. She pushed herself into the forest's clearing, looking this way and that, before the crash of the bushes caused her to spin around with a soft gasp as her pursuers had caught up.

Sinister laughter escaped throats of three large, burly beings. Their eyes were respectively yellow, red, swamp green and glowed with delight and bloodlust. Their flesh from a distance seemed leathery and scale-like at the same time. Horns varying from two to four protruded from their disgusting heads. The human's eyes flickered to the three of them, exhaustion seeping into her bones.

"Such a delicious-looking human," the middle one, the largest of the three, purred sickeningly. She didn't step back in spite of her wish to do so. "You third-rate demon trash ran all this way just for a human?" she taunted, her words hindered by her labored breaths, sweaty strands of her hair in her eyes. The monsters advanced menacingly toward the female before the two crumpled to their knees with fierce wails, as if assailed by unimaginable pains. One of the demons snarled, lunging for the human, who seemed so intent on the other demons that when the unaffected one sliced a claw through her side, her concentration broke as a scream left her lips.

Her body crashed to the grass, her hand pressed against the gaping claw wounds that shredded her flesh. She attempted to crawl away weakly, but the demon's claws hooked into her ankle, breaking skin, piercing muscle, shattering bone. Her eyes flew back in horror at the demon, who displayed rows upon rows of sharp fangs.

"You're not going anywhere."
