Let me tell you something I am far from fit, after 20 minutes I have to stop running because my mouth feels like it is on fire and my legs feel like jelly, my adrenaline rush was well over with. I shrug my bag off my back and get a bottle of water out of it, downing half before even taking it away from my mouth to breath. I take another sip before putting it back in my bag and swinging my bag on my back. I then start back on my track deeper into the woods.
I've been walking for well over an hour, I look ahead to see a large oak tree. Deciding it's the perfect place to sleep tonight I head towards it. I shrug off my bag and squat down to take out my sleeping bag and lay it under the tree, after its laid out I snuggle into it letting darkness overcome my body as I fall into a dreamless slumber.
I wake up to the sun shining through the leaves in the tree above me, I groggily rub my eyes as I sit up. I love nature I cant believe I've been missing this my whole life, I don't ever want to be held up again ever. I don't think after I've had a taste of freedom, I'll ever want to go back to my mother.
I hop out of my sleeping bag and roll it up, putting it in my bag. I'm hungry, I guess now would be a good time to open a can of beans. I reach in my bag and bring out a can of beans and a spoon, I hook the spoon under the loop thing and push it up. I put the spoon in my mouth and pull the loop back opening the can.
After I finish eating I put my rubbish in my bag and stand up slinging the bag on my shoulders. As I'm looking at the ground I see dog like footprints only bigger, around were I was sleeping last night. How did I not hear then, by the looks of there prints they were massive. Bigger than I've ever seen on the internet, oh well at least they didn't try to eat me or something. I shudder at the thought, I start walking past the tree. I hope I can be out of these woods by tomorrow, then I'll find shelter and maybe even a job if I'm lucky.
I've been walking all day and it's starting to get dark, there's still no sign of other people. It's like I've been walking in circles, but I haven't. I decided to just find a place to sleep and have dinner.
It's dark out but my eyes have grown accustom to it, I finally found a place to sleep. I sat under the large tree and ate my can of beans listening to the world around me, I wish I could have saved this moment forever, it was so peaceful. I finished my beans so I'm gonna just go to sleep for the night, I grab my bag and open it. Just then I here a loud howl coming from not that far away to my left, I quickly jump to my feet not wanting to become tonight's dinner. I quickly close my bag and throw it on my shoulders, I start running in the opposite direction of the howl. soon I hear loud thundering of paws right behind me, against my better judgement I sneak a quick glance behind me and to my horror I see three wolves snapping at my ankles. I'm to young to die, I just got free I can't die now. I have so much to see, so much to discover.
I push myself to run faster if that's even possible, I don't want to die yet. I suddenly trip over a fallen branch and tumble down to the floor. "Who put that thing there, stupid tree" I said as I got to my feet. I quickly turn around remembering why I was running. "Nice wolfe", I said putting my hands up. "You don't want to eat me, I taste disgusting. Wouldn't you rather eat a tasty rabbit, or a skunk". I was shaking slightly at this point, maybe if I distract them I can make a run for it. "Oh my god look at that", I said pointing behind them lame I know. But to my shock they actually looked, wait what!! I took the opportunity and I ran like my life depended on it, because it most certainly did.
I didn't get far though before I suddenly collided with a wall, "who the fuck put a wall there, this is the forest for crying out loud" I said getting up holding my head. When I looked up I saw the out line of a man, I could barely make out his feathers in the dark though. "Who the hell are you", I asked confused pouting my bottom lip. When he didn't respond I scratched my neck awkwardly, "well I don't wanna become wolf food so I'm going to go and if you know what's good for you, you will to". I said pointing a finger at him. I walked over to the side to walk past him, only for him to toss me to the ground. If this is what everyone's like, then I'm starting to see why my mother did what she did.
I looked up only to see a snout in my face, "Jesus" I shrieked. I kicked the wolf in the muzzle and scattered to my feet and started running. I ain't becoming dog food. I felt hands snake around my waist and start picking me up. I started kicking and struggling to get free, "let go of me you asshole". I said kicking. I continued to struggle until guess what, he tossed me to the floor again. I watch as the wolf I kicked came up to me and bite into my leg causing me to scream until it finally let go. I looked down at my leg to see blood was pouring out of it at an alarming rate , I tried putting pressure on it to slow down the bleeding but it was no use. Black dots filled my vision until eventually everything went black.
