Lotus POV~~
All I see are trees flying by me. I'm running; faster than any human I've heard of running. As the thought crosses my mind, I realize I'm not on my own two legs; I'm on four.
"What is going on?" I think to myself, as the brilliantly bright moon comes out from behind the clouds. Realization hits as my ears perk to the sound of another's foot pattern comes from behind me; I'm running as a wolf. My heart starts to pound in my chest as I feel that the thing chasing me isn't friendly.
"Faster," I tell myself as my paws sink into the dirt, and the wind whips through my fur. Dodging through the trees, fast as my powerful legs can carry me, I run.
Without really even thinking, I burst through the trees and come to a screeching halt. I'm standing at the edge of a cliff with a large flowing waterfall to my right that drops into a large pool about 50 feet below. There's a clearing around it in a perfect circle of more forest. I whip my head around, hearing a branch snap to my left. A man shifts from the wolf that was chasing me. His black eyes gleam in the moon light as he smiles menacingly at me. My ears lay back against my head, I crouch in a defensive position and growl at him.
"No where left to run to now princess. I promise you this. The Lycan Throne will never be yours." As he takes a step toward me, I turn and push with my back legs as hard as I can, leaping off the cliff, lunging head first into the waterfall. The cold water hits my face, and then everything goes black.
