Avalon's boots touched the earth softly making hardly no noise as she made her way quickly though the forest. She sprinted forward, ducking around trees and vaulting over low branches and roots. She knew she was being followed but she didn't know what yet. The morning mist gently landed on her partially exposed face under her hood. She dodged around a tree and flattened against it, waiting to see if her per surer would make the mistake of exposing themselves. The forest was quiet except for the singing of the morning birds in their trees. She rested her hand on the hilt of the dagger that was strapped to her thigh as she peered around the tree with extreme caution. She exhaled a long held breath seeing that what ever was following her must have given up.
She stepped away from the tree and scanned the area. It was silent in the forest for that moment as she turned to make sure she was alone. As she turned her back on the tree she hid behind she heard a blood curdling roar. Her eyes widened in fear as the creature that was following her came around a group of tree in front of her. The creature stood at least 7 foot tall on it's hind legs and weighed at least 300 pounds. It walked like a human but it's features were clearly not. It was covered in fur from head to toe and had the face of a vicious wolf. It snarled at Avalon as it approached her, snapping it's deadly teeth at her. It's eyes were fixed on the Silvermoon Elf in front of it as it's ears laid back flat on it's head. It flexed it's arms and it's razor sharp claws, as it longed to tear the flesh of the elf from her bones.
Avalon slowly backed away from the creature. She knew that this creature was not a werewolf, she knew what they looked like for she had hunted one or two down for some gold in a local town, but this creature was no werewolf, or if it was it was no typical one like she had hunted. Her thoughts were shattered as her back touched a tree. She took a deep breath and dashed to the right and breaking into a full sprint.
The creature expected it and quickly followed her, realizing that it was not gaining as fast as it wanted to on it's prey on two legs, it dropped it's upper half to the ground gaining speed and gaining on Avalon.
Avalon continued to sprint without looking back. She skidded to a halt as it seemed the earth just seemed to disappear from in front of her. Her boots skidded her to a halt right in the nick of time, if she didn't stop when she did she would have fell face first into the ravine that stretched out before her. Silently swaring she turned to face the beast that skidded to a halt in front of her. Reaching back she drew her twin scimitars that were attached to her back, she knew that she may not stand a chance but she would die trying at least.
The creature glared at her with a violent hunger in it's eyes. It slowly drew itself to it's full height and lunged at Avalon.
Avalon turned quickly with her sword and landed a clean strike to it's arm drawing first blood. The creature howled in pain and lashed out with a one-two combo slash to her face, both times he missed but as the second came through the creature kicked out, planting it's foot into Avalon's abdomen, causing her to stagger backwards. The creature took advantage of her stagger and followed through with an earth rattling back hand to her face, sending the elf reeling off her feet and half dazed as she landed on the ground, sending her weapons clattering to the forest floor. The creature gave a low growl of victory as it picked up the elf by her tunic and lifted her limp, dazed form from the ground. It pulled her closer to it's face to better inspect her, so close that she could smell the rotten meat caught in it's teeth. Just as the creature was about to take a bite out of Avalon and another roar erupted from the forest. The creature's ears perked up and it snarled. It turned it's attention back to Avalon, still in it's claws and dazed badly. It's deadly jaws opened as it was about to tear into Avalon's neck another roar came from the woods, this time it sounded angrier and more vicious. The creature holding Avalon snapped a snarl out of it's jaw, tossed Avalon to the side and bounded off into the woods.
Avalon hit the ground hard and rolled a bit, her head hitting a rock causing her to lose what attachment to her conscious she had. The world around her went black as she remained on the ground.
