The ground was moist beneath my bare feet the branches ripped up my already tattered clothes I could barely breathe my heart was pounding in my ears drowning out all the sounds all except one. The hound’s howls echoed throughout the forest I could feel them getting closer. I need to lose them and find a place to hide but how. I frantically search my surroundings as I run as fast as my legs can carry me to my left all I see is mostly shrubbery in a few saplings nothing that could hide a 15 year old girl, on my right is an extremely dense forest still wet from the recent thunderstorm. that seems like my better option I started off towards it. As I am sprinting through the undergrowth Anne leaping over fallen trees looking right and left for a place, I could hide from them I almost ran off a Cliff that I had not noticed the trail leading towards. As I stand on the edge looking down at the River extremely far down, I can hear the hounds drawing closer still a thought comes to my mind that. There was nowhere to hide that they could not find me. So, as I prepared to leap into the raging white rapids below, to the only place they could not follow me I feel a sharp pain in my left leg. I scream and look back to see a hound had sunk its teeth into my calf and locked his jaw stopping me from freeing myself as the hound tries to drag me from the edge of the Cliff I was hanging off of. I look up and see my master casually leaning against a tree watching.
