Numerous soldiers raced through the dense, foggy forest, a light rain noisily splashing onto the leaves of trees. The footsteps of the soldiers could be heard over the rain, angered shouts following. Ahead of them ran a young woman with silver hair, as well as one gold eye and one silver. The silver cloak billowed behind her as she ran desperately in attempt to escape certain death. However, she ran with one hand holding up the hood of her cloack, as if trying to hide her identity. It was endless, the pursuit. There would be moments in which she was able to escape temporarily, for a half hour or so, and rest. However, it would only be so long until she was found again. All she knew was that she couldn't be caught. To rest for too long or to sleep would be her downfall. Though, she also knew she couldn't keep this up forever. Already the endless running was beginning to take its toll- the off and on running had been going on sense just before sunrise. why.... why me? she thought angrily. why any of us? Most of us haven't caused harm....so why? What is the purpose of the needless bloodshed? a single tear fell as she momentarily rested against a tree. Then she once more heard footsteps....but this time they were spread out, in different directions. Were they trying to lead her to a trap? It wasn't like she had much of a choice at this point but to risk it. As she ran, she could hear the soldiers getting closer. Closing the distance from all but one side. Seeing the trees beginning to thin, she knew a clearing of sorts was coming up. However, though it was a clearing of sorts, it was one without any exits but the way in which she came. She ran as far as she could, even if it only bought her a few more seconds. At the point in which she reached the wall of the grotto, it wouldn't have mattered if there was more room to run. She was too tired to continue. Falling to her knees, she stayed quiet, motionless, waiting to meet her fate.
