Fish Are Friends Not Food....Wait....

Lost in his thoughts, Shiki hadn't noticed that whatever birds were in the area had suddenly grown silent. He slowed to a walk when he realized a few moments later, finally coming to a stand still. Looking around, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary...nor did he smell anything strange either. Swallowing back his apprehension, the boy continued to creep forward, this time a little more silently then before. He wasn't sure why, but something told him to get the hell out of here! Heart pounding, Shiki moved forward as quietly as he could, golden eyes wide and staring ahead though occasionally glancing back. Still nothing.
After several tense moments, he began to allow himself to breathe again, though the atmosphere remained alien to him. As soon as he decided to take that first deep breath to calm his pounding heart, a roar seemed to burst from behind, startling the boys heart into a massive jumpstart that would have caused a rabbit to kill itself with a heart attack. He yelped louder then he ever had before, watching as a massive form rained down on him. At first, he had been so startled he couldn't move. And as split seconds ticked by, his instincts screamed at him to run. And as quick as he could, the tiny wolf streaked beneath the creature. He felt its hot breath ruffle his fur as he swept underneath her, one of her claws striking his rump but he paid it no mind. He raced as fast as his little legs would carry him, breathing hard and his heart pounding even harder, he ran with no other feeling but fear. Eyes wide, he searched for a place he could hide, sure that the beast was following him.
He whipped past the tall grasses, occasionally getting caught up and losing precious life saving seconds as he tried to speed along. Finally, as he thought his legs would collapse and his heart would explode from the intensity of his fright, he spotted a rabbit hole nearly hidden, though visible near the grasses that left it slightly exposed. Not to mention the rabbits seemed to have nibbled away some of the brush to make it slightly more accessible. Pushing himself faster, he put on a burst of speed until he reached it, and as quickly as he could he scrambled inside. Shiki went as far back as he could, which unfortunately for him wasn't far enough. Turning around in the little tight squeeze of a den, he watched the light pour in through the opening of the hole. All he could hear was his pounding heart, his ragged breath, and the blood pounding in his ears. What was that?!
