Escape

>>Mavis

A silhouette came into view as I desperately tried to dry myself but I wasn’t fast enough and soon the person came into plain view. The person I was dreading to see.

The one I just want to run away from.

Mom

When I saw her I flinched and froze.

Shit.

She had her eyes wide open as she approached me full of anger, “How did you manage to run away?” She was furious and there was no way for me to run with my tail still out, “How!?!”

Running won’t be an option anyway now and I know she’ll drag me back to the house if she catches me. Considering how she keeps losing her sanity gradually, she might just cut my limbs off this time.

A shudder went down my spine.

I can’t have that!!

She launched herself towards me but I had no intention of getting caught. So instead of getting my legs back, I rolled backward without care of injury and drowned myself back in the river.
