Alarm rushed through Amise as the barks grew louder, and she quickly resumed to a sprint, dodging the trees as she dared not to look back. She wondered how long it would take to shake off the hunters from her trail, but with the four dogs leading the way, she was sure they would catch up in no time. An idea bursted through her mind, and she quickly turned, heading towards the small river which was not far. She slowed down when she neared the water, and she hurried into the river, splashing the water around herself as she tried to pick up her pace. She stumbled a little, not noticing the small rock under her. Her ears swiveled towards the sounds of the footsteps crunching in the dead leaves, and she did her best to ignore it as she clambered onto the other side. Shaking out her fur, she pressed deeper into the trees, sending the grass whispering to each other as she brushed past them.
