Run

As her hearts pumping hard against her ribs and her ears are ringing she runs harder. She can't stand to think of what her father will do if she's caught once again. Cora had tried to leave the clan almost nine times before. She hates it there. All the men are brutes with no respect for her title, and the women look at her as a parasite. Ever since Cora was little everyone has looked down upon her. Her mother left the clan because she despised her father. Her brother had died in her arms because of her aunt. Her life has been filled with endless pain, death, and suffering and she has finally had enough. She is determined not to be caught. As she running through the forest she can hear her father's guards getting closer and closer. Her only option now is to hide. There's a cave no more than 30 yards infront of her to the left, she head's that direction and stays low waiting for the men to pass. Her father no doubt will be angered by her leaving yet again. She's not allowed to mate, bred, or even be in the same room as a boy unless her father or eldest male relatives are present. Three hundred and twenty two years of existence and not once had she felt the touch of a man.

She had fallen asleep in the cave after four hours of hiding. When suddenly she's woken by this blood curdling shriek. She opens her eye's when she feels the sharp pain in her leg. Looking down, it finally dawns on her that she should have checked the cave and been more wise about what lurks inside. A creature that her clan calls the "Wanapi", has sunk it's razor sharp teeth into her thigh and is dragging her deeper into the cave. Using her other leg she kicks out, connects with the creatures face and it lets go. Only to come back around and lung at her again. Bitting deeper into her leg causing Cora to scream. It throws her into the air and when she lands her head hits hard. Even for a vampire, that blow was enough to render her unconscious.
