The journey has begun...
Running, running as fast as I can is all I know right now… As I use the little moonlight to light my way through the large forest. As I hunch over to catch my breath. And I hear footsteps as they get close.
“No, I can’t let them catch me not again or I will be punished!” I said
Still feeling the rust-like tree on my hand before I get up to run, running as if my life depended on it and it did. I tripped on pebbles, rocks, and wet leaves as old memories of my dead parents flash in my mind like a bolt of lightning. I try not to trip over myself; trying not to cry as I hold Luna tightly feeling her soft silk-like fur in my arms.
(No, I can’t let these stop me, not right now at least..) I think to myself
As I make my way through the wet, chilly, and giant forest around me. Try to distract me from crying. I listen to my surroundings. Hearing owls and animals then all of a sudden I hear breaking twigs and someone says
“Where did that little brat run off so she can’t run that fast!”
It was my father and he sounded angry and that means their catching up to me I have to run faster or they’ll catch me
“There she is!” said my brother “get her!”
Then they start to run in my direction. I start to run as fast as I can, holding on to Luna tightly so I don’t drop her. As I was running I was looking behind me then I felt no ground on my right foot so I fell back on my back. I looked to see it was a cliff with sharp knife-like rocks at the bottom, I was about to run again as I turned but as I looked up there they all were...My adopted family…
“Well Well look what we have here Ria or should I say the little brat and her mutt.” said my brother
As Luna growls at them, starting to get closer. (Oh no, what am I going to do now!!) I think as I stand back up slowly. (No NO NO NO, it can’t end like this I got so far!!)
As I start to slowly walk backward for them all, as they all get closer. I’m shaking with fear, scared of what they will do to me when I hear my sister yell at me.
“You think you can get away from us just by running away but you already failed one time. Why try again,” She said with a smug look on her face, but she suddenly got mad and yelled.
“Huh, you're going to answer me!”
“No…”
“What did you just say,” she said with an angry look.
“I said No!” as I yell. She growls at me and gets close and pushes me, not able to balance. I fall…I see she has a very shocked look as I fall off the cliff. I hold Luna as tight as I get stabbed in the side. I scream at the top of my lungs. Holding Luna as she starts to whine. I cry as everything starts to get dark, out the corner of my eye. I see my backpack start to glow brighter and brighter. As I’m covered with the light as I close my eyes everything gets dark but feels so warm. Then suddenly I’m on the grass, but I weakly manned to open my eyes and she was in a whole other place and I saw Luna was knocked out. Too weak to move, I close my eyes again and suddenly hear footsteps thinking it is my family. I stay still and let them take me back. But suddenly I hear a voice say
“whats is a human female doing out here all alone?” said the unfamiliar voice
