The dark night.

The pale deathliness of the full unblinking moon.

A dark forest filled with unpleasant trees.

"Huff.... Huff... Huff... Huff,"

A figure stomped quickly through the woods running, panting and interrupting the silence of the dark as she did so.

The footsteps were quick and fast as she tore through the thickness of the night and the trees.

The figure ran for a long time then preluding a wide clearing, the figure's steps slowed down until it came to a stop at the edge of the clearing.

"Ebbey!"

The thickness of the trees muffled the echoes.

"Ebbey! You there!?" She called out again.

She looked at the moon in the sky.

Where was he?

They'd only gone out here for a walk and had both bolted when they thought they heard a growl and now..... He was missing.

'Gosh I hope he's alright,'

She looked down at herself.

Right down from her neck, dripping her clothes and soaking into her shoes, was blood.

No, it wasn't her blood.

It most likely was animal blood, but that was most likely or even maybe, I'm not sure how she got that much blood on her.

I think she knew but she wouldn't allow herself to believe it.

She kept calling out.

"Ebbey!"

She stopped at the sound of shuffling in the bushes nearby.

She walked slowly towards it, to an angle where she could see what was going on there without having to part it open.

She could see even with the low light of the moon, a few rodents hunched over a dead animal. The animal seemed to have been half eaten by a larger animal and all that remained were the unrecognizable remnants of it remains.

Elliam sighed in relief, then wiped the sweat off her face.

She looked a bit closely at the dead animal on the ground and noticed that a large trail of blood led away from it, across the clearing and beyond the forest.

She shivered. The wild animal could be anywhere.

She bent beside the carcass, shifting away from the eating rodents and picked up a bloodied cloth.

Elliam opened the cloth and was immediately struck with disbelief.

No! No way!

She was probably just over thinking things. But she never over thought things. She fell on her knees and searched for more evidence through the carcass and it's close surroundings.

There she found what she'd hoped she'd not find.

Pieces of clothing all torn out from one whole and stained with blood and one more thing.

Elliam picked it up slowly and enclosed the cold bloody human index that was stuck in the ring that Ebbey said was given to him by his late father in her palm, slowly standing after doing so.

She suddenly felt sick in her stomach as she took in all the signs.

She looked once more at the blood staining all of her clothes, the blood on her hands, on her neck, on the floor, trailing into the path she had just come out from.

A tight knot was forming in her stomach and was getting tighter with every passing second.

Why had she been running from that part of the forest?

That wasn't where she and Ebbey had run to when they'd heard the growl.

Where they'd run.....

They'd run this way, and... And what had happened after that?

She'd originally thought she'd blacked out but suddenly she saw flashes of what had trangressed in the clearing.

Her knees buckled and as she fell she suddenly opened her eyes and practically jumped from her bed sweating buckets despite the sudden cold temperature in the room.
