Alastor ran as fast as he could, it was too dark to see what lies ahead, or what was chasing him, but the sounds of howling echoed throughout the quiet forest. The branches of the trees scratched up against his face and arms temporarily slowing him down, but he kept running. His breathing was quick and clearly strained as he gasped and wheezed, he needed to get away from these damn wolves. "Oh- SHIT-" Alastor tripped over the roots of a large tree and tumbled into a ditch, rocks and fallen branches tore at his white dress shirt and brown waistcoat and snatched his glasses of his face, he grunted as he finally stopped moving "Fuck-".

He stopped and looked in the mirror at the wound "𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵...." he muttered under his breath. The gash had become bigger, like, very noticeably bigger, it had spread down to his sides. Well, that explains the excessive bleeding and pain.
