The Sun was just starting to rise over the horizon, as the padding of running feet, echoed throughout the wood, bouncing off the trees. Mya ran as fast as her bony feet could take her,
dodging trees as she continued to sprint as far away from home as she could. She knew they weren't far behind her, but if she was caught again, she would fight. That was what happened
every time, she would attack anyone she met in her way, as they took the sight of her small, scarred body to mean she was weak. However, there were a few she could not defeat, they
were always the ones to chase her, capture her, and break her. But this time she wouldn't, couldn't go back. As she stumbled through a thicket into a clearing, she tripped over a tree root
and fell. However, the fall seemed much longer than it should, and the landing much more painful. Slowly, she weakly raised her head and her eyes widened as she took in her surroundings.
This did not look at all like the wood she'd been running through. Firstly there was no daylight at all; it seemed to be the middle of the night. And secondly, some of the trees appeared as if
from another land, with beautiful shimmering trunks as they reflected the mood light, and with luscious looking fruits hanging down from them. Fear overtook her as she wondered if she'd
hit her head hard, or if she'd been captured and drugged. She tried to get up, but exhaustion overtook her body and she immediately collapsed back down. As she lay in the beautiful grassy
clearing, fear overtook her mind, and when a strange creature that looked to be half man and half bull came out suddenly from one of the bushes, she fell into a land of unconsciousness.
