• I was running as fast as i could. My feet jabbing into jagged rocks and sharp sticks. I didn't care. All i cared about was making sure that the erasers didn't get their prey. Me. I could hear them now. They where getting closer. Then I heard the barking. They had dogs. Well, they where kind of like dogs themselves. Big, fully armed, dogs. They where getting closer still. So close that i could hear their feet hitting the ground and their heavy breathing. Then i saw the dim light up ahead. All i needed was a clearing to make my escape. I burst through the trees and had to skid to a stop. It wasn't a clearing. It was a cliff.
    I had to do it.
    I saw the erasers burst through the trees behind me.
    I jumped off the edge.
    Now you might think I'm crazy, but just hear me out.
    All i could hear was the air rushing past me head. Then i flexed my back muscles so my wings unfurled. They came out so fast that it hurt.
    (Note to self: Unfurling wings when falling hurts a ton.)
    I jeered upward and started flying. I flew up above the erasers and saw them shaking furry paws up at me. One of them had a gun. He pointed it at me and a red dot appeared on my tattered night gown. Then, he fired.
