~ ???'s POV ~
Gently flakes of ice were falling from the sky taking on the smallest of patterns as they blended in with the rest of the powder covered land ahead of me. The trees descended into short stumps long ago leading me ever onward into the white serene abyss of loneliness.
'Danger..'
I was suddenly snapped from the mindless walking and while I didn't as much understand the sound that was spoken in my mind itself I understood the meaning for I could smell it's retched scent, something was headed this way reeking of rot and blood lust.
Knowing I was upwind of the beast I quickly gazed back seeing the trail of bloody paw prints behind me, a sharp pain shooting through every strand of my fur all the way to my core.
I couldn't even remember the last time I had stopped to rest, the soles of my paws raw and beyond blistered as the frostbite uncomfortably crept higher up my legs.
I trotted heavily away from where I spotted some stacked logs burying my bloody paws extra deep in the snow to leave my scent before leaping towards my desired hiding spot, clearing my tracks with my tail before each new bound to safety.
As I stepped behind the logs I dug a small hole burrowing inside and curling up as I waited out the terror, burying my face into my tail as I curled up into a fetal position, keeping my ears folded back as the warmth started to build.
After a short while I heard a ferocious and twisted growling roar coming from far off, from i'm guessing was the beast that was tailing me and if not for the overwhelming wave of sleep overtaking me, I might have further investigated the silent yelling almost sounding like the strange noises I would hear in my head.
Soon everything grew quiet as I drifted off feeling as though I hadn't slept in ages. I would worry about the strange noises when I woke for now I needed to heal even just a little so I could keep going.
'Dream...'
Hm another one... No time I'm too tired..
