I  fell and scratched my hand on the ground. I should have know better than thinking of other things at the same time I'm running. It's to many dangerous plants and bugs to get distracted in the middle of the forest. I ignored the light pain in my hand. I wasn't even bleeding, and I've been hurt much worse before.

I  started to run faster, but I couldn't be sure if the animal was stalking me or not. I know I can't run like this all way home but I wonted to put  some distance between me and the creature with pads. Then I herd it again! The sound of pads hitting the plants and leafs in the forest. It's  hunting me! In this lush  part of the Exou-forest it's always  hard to get through. Especially now when I have a four legged monster with sharp teeth and everything chasing me.

I turned my head so that I would know which one all the dangerous animals that was hunting me. I got a hint of what the creature looked like through the high plants. It was dark brown, with wings and a lion tail. I've seen drawings of that creature  in the caves and heard it's name in old stories dad used to tell me when we hade walked through the water-forest. But now, when it's chasing me through the whole fucking forest, that name had disappeared from my mind without even a little tracks. If I only last to run a little bit longer, then I might make it back to my village. Oh! Who am I trying to trick, I'll never make it that far.

I  tried to follow the path that I took on my way out to the forest. But all the plants and trees was confusing me. I looked down at my feat to search for the trail, but instead  of brown mud I saw a green and purplepoisonous snake a few feat a head of me. I'm thinking of jumping over it when I hear large pads that hits the ground in a high speed. It's getting closer, I think in  terror.

I  don't believe in god, I don't think I will see my dad or my best friend from my younger years when I die. Which doesn't make it easier to think of the future that waits for my if that creature get's to me. Tears blocked my sight and I fell once again. But this time I felt worm spread across my leg. I turn around to my back and look at my left leg. From a whole in my leatherpants there are  flowing blood. And lots of it. I trie to stand up but my legs aren't holding me. I crawl a few feat to hide behind a boulder. A reast my back to the cold stone. A turn my head up to the sky to have a look of where i'm soon going to come. Then it hits me. What the creathers name is. Avox! A get's like paralized. Have I been runny thrugh the whole forest, running from a Avox?! No, it can't be. The rais of the Avox is nearly dead. It can't have chosen me! I'm nor special or anything. I'm a daughter of a blacksmith and a poorly education doctor. Why on earth would a Avox chose me? The President of Pemaz have been chosen by a lion and his children of a panter and a tiger. Itäs all about status. My mother have been chosen by a duv and my sister by a cat and that was choking. The poor once are nearly aleways chosen by a herbivores. Not that it is many people that are willing to go aout in the forest and se of any perdator is running to you becouse you look delicios or becouse it has chosen you. I never given it much thought but i wunder how the animalt know in wich rank in the socioéti you are in... Or, maby it just that everyone in the capital get's a trip to the forest whit gards in birthday pressent of their familys.

I can feel my eyelids geting hevier and hevier as my thoughts goes on. The saound of pads are louder now, or maby i'm just confused couse of the blood los. Just befor the darknes get me, I feel somthing whet and worm tuching my cheek.

As my mind got less and less fuzzy the thought came back to me. Was I dead? Hade I got it wrong when i thought that the Avox hade chosen me? Once again a feel that whet worm think tuching my cheek. I opend my eyes and saw a blck nose and big green yellow eyes. I coulden'r take my eyes of that wunderful eyes. I hade never understand when people talked abouth their animals as if they know what they were thinking. But now I culd see that this Avox was worid for my health
