Raven hair fluttered in the wind as the young woman jumped hastily from branch to branch through the thick forest.
Her dark eyes steadily looked ahead as she tried to outrun her pursuers, her right hand pressed against the bleeding hole in her stomach.
This can't be it.
Just as she had that thought, the voice that convinced her she was deranged as a child filtered through her head, What do you mean?
She didn't respond.
She let her mind grow blank, worried that the voice would turn frantic and distract her from her escape. She heard unidentifiable yelling behind her, but swiftly ignored that noise as well.
Breathing was becoming more difficult, the pain in her chest growing and ensnaring her lungs from the oxygen she so desperately needed. A torrent of red blood flowed from a cut hidden underneath her thick black locks, causing her to have to keep her right eye closed.
Her left eye had ink black darkness slowly intruding her visions edges, she practically growled aloud at her own body's incompetence at that moment.
With what little sight she had left, she was able to pick up the burnt orange of a wall ahead of her. The sight caused a spark of hope in her chest, maybe she could get away from her captors after all?
As she made one final leap from the thick tree branch, her legs buckled underneath her as they met the forest floor. She rolled and, ignoring the searing pain running throughout her entire body, managed to push her tired body back onto her two feet.
Thick, haggard breaths ripped themselves from her raw throat, but she needed to call out. She could barely make out a face sitting behind a wooden booth situated behind the large gates that were a mere five yards away from her.
The yells and footsteps behind her were growing clearer, fuck.
What's going on?!
With strength she didn't know she held, she opened her chapped lips and yelled as loud as she possibly could, "HELP!"
And with that last bit of strength, her body gave out and she felt her body falling to the ground. But, just before her dark eyes closed she saw the unknown person sitting behind the booth stand up, and four people jumped down from the tall walls.
She was out cold before she hit the ground.
