Subject: Panic

Two humans run through the wood, fatigue and panic both evident in their eyes. Their hands clutch desperately together. A man has taken the lead, half dragging his lover through the woods. A creature of black is chasing them swiftly and almost caught up with them. Thew woman lets loose an ear splitting scream as she falls to the ground, having tripped over a rock. The mans grip on her falls away and he turns back, desperate to reach her. He pulls a bow from his back and an arrow and fires it swiftly at the creature. The beast slows and screams terribly. The man runs back to his lost lover and grabs her, only to discover her leg is broken. She screams in pain as she tries to get up and sinks back to the forest floor. The creature, now enraged by the arrow, runs swiftly to the man and the woman. The man looks up in shock and scrambles back away from the creature, his light green eyes filled with horror. He looks back at the fallen woman as she screams in mortal pain and watches as the beast rips apart his one true love.

The man runs back, but the woman, barely holding on to life by a bare string, throws her hand up at him. "No Bran!" She cries out, tears streaming down her face. "You must escape, you must live! Please, for me, live." The woman screams again as the creature bites off her broken leg. Bran cries out but backs away, knowing that he would rather die than not doing as his love says . He turns around, running in a stagger away from the creature. He feebly blocks out the noises of screams and runs away.

Bran runs through the forest, tears of pain, both physically and mentally, streaming down his face. He mutters over and over to himself the name of his lost lover. 'Aineen.' He hears a roar behind him and knows that the creature will pursue him, only for revenge of the arrow. Bran speeds up his pace, gasping desperately for air.

Bran stops, lack of energy and air leaving him drained and empty. He falls to the ground and fights blackness with all his will. He sees the creature burst towards him and grabs desperately for his bow and arrows. Instinct had taken over completely and he had no time to mourn. He looses an arrow but misses the beast horribly. He sobs dryly and fires again and again, occasionally hitting the creature. Finally, he runs out of arrows and cries out. He turns on his stomach and crawls desperately for the road. The creature hisses in triumph and slashes at him with bloodstained claws. The vicious weapons slice into his back. He cries out in pain but continues crawling. Finally, he reaches the road, where he knows and hopes that he will be safe...
