*Panting* *panting*

I keep on running. I've run a fair amount of distance from the village by now, yet these assholes keep on chasing me. They must really want me dead. I look at my right shoulder only to see the still wedged arrowhead sticking out. It hurts, yes, but if I pull it out I might bleed to death. Not wanting that to happen I leave it there. But while running my head keeps wondering. I keep thinking back to the scene in the village! Not the mangled up bodies or the burning houses but the scene where I brutally massacred those three men. 

            After the start of my families treatment towards me, I would always run off to the forest to train. To become stronger! To not be a weakling or a burden anymore!! Using a makeshift sword from an old tree branch. I used to swing it hundreds if not thousands of times a day. Gradually my sword swinging became better. Though I don't have any sword skills I could swing it fast enough to cut down a small tree. But back in the village was the first time I ever killed someone and humans at that. My own race! 

I thought I would feel terrible! But no, what I felt was far from the truth. At that moment all I felt was happiness, I felt ecstasy! A strange pleasure from the killing. It was so exhilarating. When their blood sprayed all over me, I could feel it, I could even smell it. I felt freedom. I don't know why I enjoyed it so much or why their blood smelled so delicious but I had to get mother to safety, so I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head. But now I can't help but wonder how would it have tasted??

*Crack* *Crack*

"Fuckkkkkkkkkk..."

I tripped on a fucking branch and went for a little tumble. Once I came to a stop I felt pain all over, small scratches and wounds covered my body but a stinging pain came from my right shoulder. Looking at it I noticed the arrow missing and blood leaking out of the wound!!!

"Fuck??"

Looking around I see the arrowhead a few feet away. Reaching out I pick it up. Using it I cut a piece of cloth from my t-shirt and wrap it around my shoulder tightly to stop the blood loss. 

"This arrowhead might also come in handy as a weapon."

"He's down there. Let's go kill him!!"

Shouted one of the men chasing me,

"Fuck, these assholes are persistent. DAMN... I thought only two were chasing me. Not three, four, FUCK!  Five... There's five of them now!!!"

I stagger a little but somehow scramble back to my feet and keep running. The deeper I go the forest keeps getting darker and darker. With white fog covering every nook and cranny I can barely see the trees in front of me at least I hope they're trees. I have never even ventured this far before. I look back and can't even see those assholes anymore. They must be having a hard time finding me, I know I am, I mean I can barely see the path in front of me. But strangely I'm not afraid or worried.

*Owooooo* *Owooooo* *Owooooo*

"Fuck me, demon wolves!! Now I'm a bit worried??"

Demon wolves. The adults grow up to the size of a grown man some even bigger, with teeth that could rip through steel. Hunting together as a pack they do not leave anyone behind. Truth be told I have never seen one of them but they are an almost extinct race so not many have seen them. But I'm sure this forest maybe housing at least a pack or two, might be more.

"Aaaaaahhhh... Aaaaaahhhh..."

Well, that's not good. It came from behind me. The wolves must have found those assholes, 

"They're not that far from here. I need to get the fuck out of here fast."

Not knowing which way is which I keep on running forward. Hoping those assholes might buy me some precious time to find a safe way out of here!!

"Aaaaaahhhh... N-NOOO!!  Aaaaaahhhh..."

FUCKING, fuck. They didn't even buy me a couple of seconds. Useless humans, wait, why did I call them that??? No time to think right now!! I have a strong feeling I'm next. I pick up my pace and start running even faster as my life depends on it and in this case it does. But I can't help but notice I'm being watched, it's strange I know but I can't shake the feeling. It's like a predator stalking its prey!! I'm sure it's not the wolves, it's something or someone much more dangerous... Finally, after running and sweating so much I come to a small clearing!!

           Damn... Realising what a mistake I made I turn around and try to head in another direction but there's over a dozen huge demon wolves staring at me almost grinning showing off their sharp bloodied teeth. I can't even count them. I instantly fall on my arse, I look at the biggest one straight in the eye knowing full well I'm challenging him. But I don't give a damn. I feel like I'm being looked down upon like this situation should be the other way around. But If I'm gonna die here I might as well try killing one of them.

The big one takes a step forward growling the whole time but suddenly he stops dead in his tracks and shows a face full of fear. I look at the other wolves only to see the same face but more terrified. Not understanding what's going on I take this as a perfect time to escape. So I slowly stager backwards. 

"What the hell?"

My back bumped on something really hard. While still sitting on my arse I turn around and see what looks to be a tree, but feels so smooth and dry. I keep rubbing it and feel it shiver a little! That's strange? Since when do tree's shiver??

"Giggling! Giggling! Hey? That tickles honey!! "

That almost scared the shit out of me. scrambling to my feat I back away and look up from where the most ear-pleasing voice came. Instantly I felt a little dizzy but I could have sworn I saw a beautiful woman. Afterwards, I fell asleep...
