Jaune walked blindly on the mist, his hand on his hip near the sword... the night was strange, the mist almost made it look like it wasn't night, just a really blue day... it was weird he remembered being in a cabin in the middle of the woods, but the floor somehow felt more rocky and he couldn't see many trees...
*Well... the mist is really dense, so I can't see anything*
His mind wandered for awhile, that strange doll in the cabin... it intrigued him, the doll looked so...
-Pathetic...- said Jaune to himself, the way it look like it was falling apart, it was sad looking and that blond hair...
-Huh?- said Jaune when he noticed that apparently he walked straight to a road, he saw the pavement and now he could see some trees, somehow the mist wasn't as dense here
Jaune walked slowly, all of this was pretty weird, How can you be on the forest and then find a road? he knew the cabin was in the middle of a forest, no cities and most important of all, the nearest town was at least 3 to 3.5 hours on foot and he wasn't going to the direction of the town...
But maybe he was... NO he knows where he is going the town is to the west of the cabin, he's going east... but how do I know that, the mist is really dense and he is deprived of sleep so how in hell does he know where he is moving or where was the town... and now... where exactly was he?.
-I... I have to go back- said Jaune out loud, what was he thinking? he was in a forest in the middle of the night with the single most dense mist he ever saw and not only that it was very posible that he had the worst case of sleep depravation any human could have and he had only a simple sword to defend himself, it's a miracle that he is even capable of moving at all, how could he expect to fight any grimm in this state.
Jaune just rubbed his eyes in a weak atempt to stay awake and walked back to where he came from, trying to move around the mist, he walked leaving the road behind, trying to find the cabin, maybe this little walk was enough to finally get some rest... yeah, he needed that, maybe he could even get a warm shower to help o...
Road...
He was walking in pavement again...
Okay he was sure that he walked to the opositte direction, he just walked for a few seconds, how was he in this direction again?, was he really walking in circles?
-Oh Oum... how do I go back?- Jaune said now a little more on the edge, he really screwed up
-Okay... okay... breath Jaune... breath... panicking will get you killed- he said trying to calm himself.
Okay... maybe he could make a fire... do a little camping... a very dangerousd kind of camping, but camping at the end of the day.
He started to walk to the forest again trying to find a place to start a bonfire, it was obvious to him that sleep was out of any plan he could think right now, okay now he only needed to find some wood, leafs and rocks for the bonfire.
So he walked...
and walked...
and kept walking

.
The forest was gone...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Road...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The only thing he could see was road now... all of the trees and dirt... gone.
Okay... if it existed a time to panic... now it was that time.
He started to run, maybe his mind was seeing things, yeah it had to be that case the forest couldn't just dissapear.
.

Then he heard something, the sound came deep in the mist, something moved... Jaune reached to his hip and tried to pull his sword out... but he was shaking, the coldness on his hands hitting suddenly, the sound moved closer, slowly and almost tripping on itself, then the sound became a shape, it was on four legs, moving like it was hurt, it had no eyes, no ears or nose... only a big mouth that opened from time to time, revealing sharp teeth on the bottom and holes on the top of his mouth, most likely as a way to close and not hurt itself with the bottom teeth.
The thing was panting, maybe trying to breath, blood was dripping from it's neck, he had a long looking cut on the side of it's neck, the flesh around it was burned, almost as whatever tried to kill it used fire first and then stabbed it just to be sure it was dead.
Jaune couldn't breath, hoping the beast wouldn't find him, the beast started to trip on his legs, the wound really took a toll on it's body.
It was a sad sight... maybe the beast was once a very powerful predator, or it had the potential to be one...
But now it was whimpering, trying to hold to life... a truly pathetic beast now... what was that thought about?...
Then the beast tilted it's head, like it felt something... or somone, Jaune felt all of his senses go to overdrive, he ran directly to the beast, sword in hand and with a strenght he didn't knew he had, beheaded the dying thing in a single clean slice.
The beast didn't even had time to understand what it encountered and then when it's head touched the ground, it's body then followed, leaving only Jaune, sword in hand and hate in it's eyes.
