Saving Me

*Meili* · 06-29-2013, 01:56 PM

Meili's vision had just become a blur of green and brown as she raced through the forest. There was no one chasing her and she had no destination in mind. She was purely running for the joy of feeling her muscles pull her forward and the sensation of the air filling her burning lungs. She panted heavily and weaved from side to side around trees that came up in her path, occasionally jumping over fallen logs or rocks that appeared in her path. This was a regular thing for the small fea. She loved the feeling of the air rushing through her timber hued fur as she ran and the pounding of her feet against the ground made her feel alive.

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a curtain of willow branches blocked her path. She yelped and tried her best to skid to a stop, but it was no use. Her paws lost their balance on the slick ground covered in leaves and she went tumbling into the huge willow. She got tangled in its long, thin branches and crashed straight into the trunk on the other side. She ended up on her back, her side aching from the impact, and her head spinning. Meili kept her eyes closed and panted hard while she waited for her head to right itself, whining softly when she tried to move and the slight pain in her side and a tangle of branches and leaves around her prevented it. "Way to go, Meili..." she mumbled and slowly opened her eyes. She saw a canopy of leaves above her and the solid trunk she had run into to her left. She sighed and closed her eyes again, her ears folding back flat against her head, too embarrassed with herself to even want to get up just yet.
