Fire pumped through her legs and her chest was on the verge of bursting. There was no need to steal a look behind her. Even without a peripheral check, she knew it was a chase. Something big. Something quiet and big.
Mae approached a large yet pliable tree and ran up the prime of its trunk. Something blasted past the crown of her head and singed an ominous circle into the tree. A knife in hand, she didn’t hestiate to send it flying inthe direction of what was now clear. Humanoid. Almost sparkly? The figure moved quickly but not enough to safe the upper half of his ear. The time it took for him to survey the damage was enough for her to make a get away climbing higher up than away-for the reason that she wouldn’t be able to outrun him. When fight or flight aren’t options, the only thing you can do is
hide.
