Elena's POV
As I ran into the forest, the trees seemed to close in around me, forming an ominous canopy around me. My fur stood on end as I ran with unease and fear, the air was heavy with decayed leaves and damp soil.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry, but I couldn't go that far because I got tired so easily. The pregnancy was taking a toll on me and I felt weak and decided to rest. I was hungry and tired and didn't know where I was heading to.
Suddenly, I heard a sound. The surrounding shadows seemed to have come alive, my heart was pounding in my chest as I wished it wasn't a hungry wild animal. I began to feel the presence of someone there. I wasn't alone anymore. My instinct told me to run, but my legs were too weak to carry me.
"Who's there?" I asked, turning sharply to where I heard the sound.
"Who?" I screamed again. "Come out now!"
