Subject: A Terrible Ending

*Hope limped in, breathing heavily with her rapid steps. Once she had determined she was in the middle of the woods, far from the orphanage, she sat down carefully, panting for air. She was in so much pain she could hardly stand it, and she wished for medicine from the doctor to make it all go away. But the freshness of the air exhilirated her, and she felt relieved. She only regretted leaving Katie behind-bound for the horrors of mankind, the cruelty and unfairness. But there was nothing she could do at the present moment, she decided, so she turned on her side and curled up into a protective little ball. After a few moments of fitful tossing, she faded into a deep sleep.*

*From the dark shadows of the wilderness, two golden o0rbs peered from the darkness. Sharp and steady, they advanced slowly and silently, te paws supporting them silent as a cool breeze. The lion moved slowly, skillfully avoiding anything that could potentially create noise. She was smart, and when she leapt through the air, she was deadly accurate. Her sharp teeth sank into the neck of the young maiden, a cool trickle of blood oozing out before the child even had a chance to awaken. The lion bit again, slashing at its prey skillfully with its claws, assuring that it was dead. When she was satasfied that her prey was no longer living, she picked at the meat, but found it sour and insufficient for her tastes. Disregarding the barely-eaten carcass with disgust, she padded off silently, to leave Hope-alone, and dead.*
