Someone…
A pitiful whine echoed through the mass expanse of silence, scaring little critters from their hiding holes. Leaves rustled as a dark form seemed to drag itself across the dirt, a moan escaping with every other movement. With a low keening sound the form collapsed, unable to bear it’s own weight any longer. Sun light filtered through the thick canopy of green, illuminating what was once beautiful golden fur but now resembled a rats nest. The fur was tangled, matted with dirt and dried blood, and it had random tufts missing. The creature was nearly skeletal, as if starved for months, and it’s front limb was bent at an unnatural angle the bone jutting through the skin.
Anyone…
A scarred snout raised slightly off the ground taking in a shuddering breath, what little muscles the animal had left bunched together, tensing tightly. Bones and joints popped and stretched reshaping themselves as the fur pulled back leaving dirty, dry skin in it’s place. The figure grew in length while shrinking in girth, morphing into the shape of a sickly thin woman with scabbing and half healed wounds covered by shredded scraps of what was once a pretty sun dress. Crudely chopped locks the color of dirty blood covered a pale face as the woman took gasping breaths, the sound rattling in her throat asthmatically.
She was dying, she could feel it. She’d barely escaped the angry mob of humans after being beat and tortured for a crime she hadn’t committed, she’d escaped the fate they wanted to thrust on her. Euthanized, put down like a common dog, a filthy beast. A girl had been attacked, killed by a wild animal. Naturally she was the likely culprit, after all she is a wild animal. People she had grown close to, considered friends, people who had accepted her, gave her a home- they turned on her. The man she had come to love as she’d only ever loved one other said she disgusted him, said she was nothing but a monster.
They betrayed her. As easily as breathing air they condemned her without even asking if she was guilty. They sentenced her to suffering and a humiliating death. They wouldn’t believe her when she pleaded her innocence, after all she’s a monster and monsters lie. They used her weaknesses, her anguish, against her. They attacked her, all at once, knowing that even with her superior strength and skill she could not over come them all. They overwhelmed her with numbers, and they won with no deaths on their side because despite it all she couldn’t bring herself to kill them. They were fearful cowards, but they were only trying to protect their own. She just wasn’t one of their own.
Please…
And now she was dying. She escaped death but was just barely clinging to what was left of her pitiful life. She had hoped to find her way back to safety, back to a place she had considered home, back to Magic Horizons. But she didn’t have nearly enough strength to reach her destination and now she found herself in unfamiliar territory, feeling her life slipping through her fingers with each painful breath she took in. With one last shuddering breath she felt collapsed allowing blackness to take her, falling into unconscious oblivion.
Save me.
