Loud sounds of pants and padded feet echoed through the forest. The sleek figure listened closely for its pursuer, but heard nothing. On her last whim, she paused for a break at a running river. She watched her surroundings closely, opening her senses completely to be aware of anyone near her as she took a moment of vulnerability. She took a long drink of the running water, forgetting herself for the moment as she waded in to cool herself off.
Suddenly, a knife whistled by and drove itself into the opposite bank. She had been distracted and got careless. Her head snapped up, spotting her enemy once more. The same glowing red eyes that had chased her away were, once again, coming after her. She moved as quickly as she could to get out of the water, but it wasn't quick enough. The opposite figure was there, pouncing onto her back. She tried to shake the monster off, bracing her paws on the ground and bucking her whole body into the air, but no luck.
Her attacker held on, not willingly going to give up. Then she felt an immense pain in her neck. Her attacker had jabbed their second knife into her neck again and again, not wanting there to be a chance of survival. Finally she gave up her fight as she was beginning to black out from blood loss. She slumped to the ground, her attacker finally removing themselves.
"You had it coming to you" They said as they dragged her body towards the river, "You may survive, but if you do, I will not hesitate to finish the job if this gets out."
With a final kick, her body splashed into the water before catching the current and floating down stream. In her hazy thoughts, she struggled to keep her head above, even without the strength to save herself.
