[color=0054a6][center][h1]Amaya Ito[/h1][/center][/color] [color=0054a6]"Just keep running... No one had ever caught you before, if you keep running everything will be ok..."[/color] Amaya repeated to herself as she ran away desperately from the strange creature that followed her. The searing pain she felt when the creature pierced her arm with one of its "legs" was still fresh on her mind. Even as she run, she couldn't even gather the courage to look at her right arm, only holding it to try to stop the bleeding and still running. Any other person should already have passed out due to the pain or the blood loss, the only thing that kept Amaya going was the adrenaline and the instinct to survive. Her right arm was completely destroyed. Broken in many different places and with a big hole made by the creature, every time her feet touched the ground, a sharp wave of pain reminded her that she would die a very gruesome death if she stopped running. Amaya didn't knew what was that creature, or what did she wanted... The only thing she knew was that it wanted to kill her, as it was evident after the creature's first attack. [color=0054a6]"Please... someone... anyone... help me..."[/color] Amaya said, her voice was trembling and faltering, without enough strength to yell, her pathetic cries for help wouldn't reach anyone. She could almost feel the creature getting near to her. It had no difficulty in keeping up with her, it was almost like it was playing with its prey. The creature could easily catch up, but instead it only kept chasing her, close enough to remind her that it could end that pathetic game of cat and rat whenever it wanted. The terrifying feeling that Amaya was experiencing right now was maddening. Facing an unsurmountable power, far greater than her own or anything that she saw or knew, she already knew too well that she was facing her own death. It was impossible to escape or fight the creature. The only thing that kept her going was the feeble hope that she would survive that encounter. But that chase couldn't last forever... Both her body and the creature were starting to get tired of all that... [color=0054a6][i]"No... please don't... I cannot die now..."[/i][/color] she thought to herself as her vision started to get darker and her legs started losing strength. The blood loss was finally taking its toll. Tripping on her own legs, she fell on the ground, unable to walk anymore. The noise of the creature slowly approaching her weak body was terrifying, its steps were slow and rhythmed. It already knew it had won. Amaya knew that she couldn't escape, both her body and mind had already given up. Fading in and out of consciousness, she could only wait. The seconds seemed to be hours, as she kept hearing the creature's steps, getting closer and closer. [hider=Gore] A sharp and agonizing pain and the terrible sound of flesh being ripped apart made her conscious again. Contorting herself on the ground, she saw, the creature, right above her. Her vision was blurry, but she knew that the red, warm thing on the creature's appendages and floor was her own blood, but she could also see one more thing. A long thing on one of the creature's appendages... something that closely resembled... an arm.... her own arm. The creature threw it away without any ceremony. Still in shock, her eyes followed her arm, as it fell on the ground, away from her. Before she could even understand what was happening, the sound of bones breaking, flesh being torn apart and another wave of agonizing pain struck her again, making her flail around on pain. [/hider] Her faint cries of pain echoed through the night, as the creature continued. With no one to hear, Amaya spent her last minutes alive in an agonizing pain, before the darkness came, finally bringing an end to all that. [hr][hr] Amaya woke up with a feline leap, assuming the same pose a cat would when scared. Panting heavily and sweating, she looked around with her eyes wide open. Her heart rate was still incredibly fast, but the view surely calmed her down. She was standing on an open field. The warm sun gently touched her skin, the smell of lush, green grass, clear air and earth filled her noses. Calming down a little, she stood up. Somehow, she wasn't dead, or was she? Her mind was still very confused. The last thing she remembered was pain... and then nothing. She felt as good as she had never felt before. Seeing that open field in front of her made her think only about running and jumping. She knew there was something different with her, but that feeling overwhelmed her. When she realized, she was already running through the field, jumping, playfully pouncing on tufts of grass and rolling on the soft, green grass. That was when she realized... she was going a bit too fast... faster than she could run before... and why the hell she was running on all fours? But that could wait... The feeling was so good, so exhilarating that nothing really mattered to her. When she began rolling on a tuft of grass, she saw something with the corner of her eyes. Slender, covered in a beautiful black fur and moving around behind her. She quickly turned around, trying to grab it, only to see that it went on the completely opposite direction. Turning her body again with a sharp turn she finally grabbed the weird thing. [color=0054a6]"MEOW!"[/color] She let out a yelp, jumping back after feeling a sharp pain when she grabbed it. Immediately putting her hands over her mouth, surprised with the sound she had just made, she perceived that something was different... Did she always had sharp and long claws? Wait... claws? And why she felt pain when she grabbed that weird furry thing? It was following her, directly behind her and when she grabbed it using her claws she felt... pain? Getting on all fours again, she looked back, to her own body. There it was. Getting out from the base of her spine, it moved around together with her. [color=0054a6]"A tail?"[/color] she asked herself, sitting on the ground and taking it on her hands to look at it better. [i][color=0054a6]"Definitely it feels real... it even moves when I try to move it." [/color][/i] she thought to herself, carefully inspecting her new tail. [color=0054a6]"What is happening...?"[/color] she asked, confused, putting her hands on her head, only to discover two cat ears, feeling equally "real". Standing up like a normal human, she took a good luck at herself. She didn't know what was happening, but she definitely liked it. She felt faster, stronger, more agile... [color=0054a6]"If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up!"[/color] she said with a smile, crouching down and pouncing on a tuft of grass again, almost like she was attacking, only to roll down on it once more. [color=0054a6]"Purrrrrrr"[/color] Amaya was too busy giggling, enjoying the sounds she made and her new "body" to realize that she wasn't completely alone on that field...
