Cassandraswas running just about as fast as she could. Her reddy brown fur was covered in dirt, and, she felt herself shudder, some blood. She sniffed the air, panting, which was a challange in itself. Just breathing took a majority of her concentration. 

Still being followed. She whined, ears flicking. [I]you don't go out by yourself Cassie[/I] her older brother, Lucan s voice echoed in her head, [I]just because hunting should be safe, doesnt mean it is[/i] this voice was her brotner Ignatius s. 

She howled, long and loud, and heard the answering howls of four normal wolves. Cosmic was nearest, and he was running towards her. 

She was running towards the barrier, not caring where she entered just hoping to enter safetly. Her entry rune only had one entry left, so she would have to see about getting anotner. Not that she was going to worry about that now.

Too late, she thought, hearing the thumping footsteps behind her. She didn't slow though. She was pretty darn fast, but she was wearing down. She braced herself for an attack, when there was a growl, the soft sound of a leaping wolf, and Cassandra reached the barrier, not even stopping.

she fell to the ground, panting. Cosmic. Sher pushed nerself, turning, but couldn't see any sign of the wolf, or what had been following her. She collapsed to the ground. She rested for what felt like an hour, but was probably less. 

She should tell someone about this, see about hunting it down. She was more than sure it was a changed that had seriously gotten out of control. Not that she had stopped to look.

first though, a new entry rune. She set off for the Rune Witch's house, still in wolf form, limoing now, the cut on her right hind leg taking its toll.
