The Blood Moon Ascendance
With a speed and balance that surprised even myself, I turned on the point of my toes and fled.
Adrenaline coursed through my veins, propelling me forward, crashing through the dense undergrowth in a desperate attempt to escape the impending danger.
The forest blurred as I ran, my heart pounding in my ears. All I could think of was escaping, and perhaps, if I ran through thick parts of the forests, the trees might slow it down. Branches snagged at my dress, leaving scratches on my skin as I ran headlong past trees with low branches. The echo of the bear's growls reverberated, driving me to push my trembling legs harder.
