Why?!
Why did this always happen to her?
This same dream.
Breathing heavily Briar forced her legs to run down the deep snowed forest. The cold night breeze pushing past her. Long strands of white hair danced in the wind behind her as her pale white skin glowed under the light of the full moon. She could hear the sound of running footsteps chasing her from behind. Yelling at one another as they chased her from behind, hunt dogs barking loudly as they followed her scent. The sound of a faint howl was heard in the distance. Her heart trembling in fear and sorrow. She wasn't going to reach that place in time.
In this dream, she was always running, running away from the men chasing her from behind. Her heart trembling in fear as her eyes filled with tears. Fear of not getting to that place in time. Always stuck inside that cold winter forest. The faint sound of a howl calling out for her. Tears streamed down her face as the sound of the hunters grew closer as she grew weaker. Running she stopped in the same tree she always did, pressing her hand against her side. A drop of blood stained the pure white snow. At the sound of the hunter dogs barking, she pushed herself to run once again. Seeing the clearing peeking up ahead between the trees. A slight feeling of hope-filled her mind. Her eyes widening in sudden fear when she noticed the figure in the distance. Standing in the middle of the clearing, waiting for her.
The wind picking up as it carried the snow around in a wild dance. The snow concealing the person's appearance. Stopping short her ears caught hold of the hunters behind her. Her eyes filling with panic as she turned to look over her shoulder before returning to look at the figure waiting for her. Taking a step forward she stood placing her clenched hand over the chest.
I'm sorry.
"There she is!"
"Shot!"
With a single tear falling down her cheek she let out a bitter smile as she suddenly turned in another direction away from the clearing.
I'm sorry.
The sound of the booming gun shot echoed across the forest before everything went dark.
