The Hunt

A thunderous clap echoed through the woods. My boots sloshed through the mud as I tried to run. My breath was harsh as I stumbled through the dark woods. Everything looked the same. I couldn't find my way back out. My hair was wild and my eyes were wide as I tried to control my breathing. Why had I thought this was a good idea? The end was near. I could feel it in my bones. It was right behind me.

With my sword in my right hand, it would do nothing but slow me down. I threw the blade behind me, hoping it would slow the creature down. There was a sudden shriek of fury from behind me. I stumbled in fear and went tumbling into the muddy ground. I tried to run but my foot was caught in a long vine. I turned to face my doom, my death.

Its skin was so pale that it looked almost white. Its eyes were bright red with thirst. Its mouth was in a wide smirk, showing the rows of fangs in its mouth. The demon lurked forward, flexing his long black claws. I couldn't believe how this world had doomed me… How this world had doomed everyone.
