Forging Forward

Footsteps and panting was what I could really hear as mom carried me through the dark forest as my father was leading us away from the three people pursuing us.

"JUST HAND HER OVER!!!" One of them yelled as they came closer. This made my father have mother run in front as he slowed down.

"Daddy!!?" I yelled as he evidently decided to fight, catching them off guard by him quickly turning around to charge them, "Bastard" one said as I started to cry though mom kept running, not slowing, some time later a large tree came into view.

"Sweetie you have to climb up and hide okay?" I nodded my head and slowly climbed up using the vines, getting tired as I went up. Reaching the closest branch I looked for my mother but she was gone. Soon two shadows rushed by and followed where mom was running deeper into the trees.

I sat there till I heard yelling and screaming coming from the direction where the shadows ran off to, the sound of grunts and yelling, and soon swearing followed.

"The bitch hid the brat now it'll take fucking forever to find her." "She's probably not far. It didn't take long to get this far after that shitty bastard attacked us." This made a shiver run down my spine and making me slip on the branch falling down into the vines

"AAAhhhh" I screeched, tumbling down. The vines slowed me but I still hit the ground with a hard 'thump'.

The sound of rushing footsteps came and then the two people stepped out in front of me in front of the tree. They had smirks on their faces as I started tearing up again from the fear and pain from falling. They started chuckling seeing as I was petrified on the ground covered in the fallen vines that came with me. The fear and pain was getting too much and darkness was overtaking my vision. The last thing I heard was the sound of a deep growl and the terrified screams of the men.

I wake up to the feeling of soft fur and deep breathing surrounding me that I snuggle up into, though the fur shifts from underneath to standing up overhead. I opened my eyes to see a large black wolf with dark red and orange eyes with flakes of gold on the outside, they showed no hate or hunger looking back at me. I gaped at the wolf as they nudged their nose against my face giving a low rumble, slowly I was curious as to how I got there.

"Why?" I whisper when they laid down in front of me.

Arthur's Note I've made this like a short intro into my OCs background. This is also my first try in writing out a published story, so I'm expecting some writing errors and comments on my jumbled writing. I'll have an actual chapter or two posted straight after this to get some feedback if anyone likes it.
