Slap, slap, splash, the sound of bare feet slapping the wet ground echoed in the Great Forest. The moss covered trees seemed to swallow the sound and spit it back out louder and louder. The muddy ground spit back at the girl as she ran covering her feet and legs in a black mud, her strange black and gold hair was whipping her face in the strong wind, the rain stinging her bare skin as she ran. Then another echo, the sound of angry horses as their masters whipped them to run faster, the yelling of Elite men as they chased the petite Mongrel girl through the heavy forest in the storm. The girl ran as fast as her clawed feet would allow her. As the rain poured down onto her body she felt a different sting, a sharp pain in the back of her right shoulder as though she had been stabbed. The girl didn't stop to look; she could only think of running, getting away from the monsters before they caught her. As she continued to run, her grip on the apple she carried in her left hand began to loosen, she began to feel heavy and sleepy, she dropped the apple and slumped to the ground, only then did she finally look at her shoulder to see a crossbow bolt with a slimy substance on it. The monsters caught up, an Elite man with blonde hair and green eyes dismounted his horse and walked up to the girl with his whip in hand, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes and simply said, "I'm hungry" before passing out.
