°{Lucy}°
Branches snapped and leaves rustled as continually fast pats sounded from the ground. Darkness engulfed the area and the coldness chilled Lucy to her core. The moisture from the rain weighed her down as Lucy splashed through the lush forest.
I need to run.
I need to hide.
Her heart pounded against her chest as the adrenaline from fear guides her desire to carry through the burning in her lungs and body. An ear-piercing scream erupted from the still darkness close to where she was. She planted her feet and began to pant, trying to catch the breath lost. Her eyes spontaneously jerked around, hastily searching for any signs of the impending danger. The dark continually burned insecurity and terror into her heart, pushing her senses into over drive.
I don't know where I am.
I am all alone.
A branch snapped mere feet from her left. She quickly whipped around while pulling out Loke's key. The gold flashed and he was by her side in an instant, honed in and ready. Lucy's breath hitched as a growl erupted from the pure black of night. She strained her eyes to get a glance.
"Which one?" She cried out with urgency. Two white pupils glowed from beside the trees, just out of range to see the culprit. "Lucy," Loke voiced, glancing at her, "run!" He screamed as he lunged at her. Her eyes widened and flicked forward just in time to see a blinding wall of fire soaring right towards her.
