The mountain to her left, the woods to her right. The skinny wraith still flinches with every crack of a branch, every flap of a wing. Even the wind blowing through the trees sends her diving to the snow. It is a pitiful sight. Her mud brown eyes are wide and her pale tongue a limp slug, hangs from parted jaws, her breath blowing steamy clouds of panic. Somehow she got turned around, and she can’t find the path that bought her down from her mountain plateau home.
Her heart thunders in her chest, the audible BOOM, BOOM, BOOM surely signalling her foes with its war drum beat. A whine leaves parted lips as she turns to head back the way she has come but her paw prints fade into oblivion, obscured by the falling snow.
This has all happened before.
Panic grips the emaciated wolf, her chest tightens until she cannot breath. A panicked bark leaves her lips as she falls to the snow, weight crushing her soul - down, down, stay safe, get down. Stretching out her forelegs, her belly dragging through the snow she tries to crawl back the way she has come as she struggles to draw air into her lungs, but paralysed in her fear she finds herself rolling over instead of inching forward. Another bark and whine to the trees that surround her, panic clear in their urgency. They are coming. Death is coming… and she was sure it was coming for her.
