Chapter 11
The Shot Heard Around The Forest
THE CHAPTER YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
The Oddpaw just stood there for a moment, just staring at her, with a look of what seemed to be disbelief. This was a good chance for Baillie to run, but she was afraid that if she moved, it would shoot her. They just stood there but as soon as it had come, her chance to run was over.
The Oddpaw pulled The Item toward his face, and made the move that would change Baillie, and later his, life forever. The projectile came flying out of The Item and before Baillie could move, she felt a pain in her leg that was unlike any she had felt before. Fearing for her life she ran to the nearest shelter she could find.
She ran deep into the closest forest and found a cave. She ran in and laid down, only then did she notice where she was. She wasn't in the forest where she had grown up. This forest was much different.
The forest had less light then the one she was used to, meaning that its trees had thicker leaves, and, it smelled much different; it smelled more of mold and decay then of the fresh grass and prey smell that she was used to. She remembered the forest she was in in her dream. It was exactly the same. This was the East Forest and it was also the forest from her dream. Then she noticed her leg.
The pain from the shot was unbearable. She looked to where she felt the pain and saw a horrific sight. There was a hole in her back right thigh, it was oozing blood and stung like nothing Baillie could have imagined before now. She turned her head and began to lick the wound.
Agghhhh. How could something do this to me!? I never did anything wrong! All I did was try and catch a fish and now this happens to me. Let's see if I can walk. Baillie slowly tried to stand, immediately falling back on her side. How am I going to be able to hunt!? Well ill just hope I can heal before I need to worry about food. But that hope was not going to happen. Not at all.
