Still Rikka held out hope that she could escape whatever horrible situation she had inadvertently stumbled into. Maybe since she had turned to flee he would let her go, or after a few minutes pursuit would not think her worth the effort and would turn back. Maybe it was all a misunderstanding. He could have been a loner and maybe she had just walked too near to his den and that was why she had been met with such hostility. Her nose hadn't picked up on his scent and even if it had she had no idea what a Dahlian smelt like. She had no idea that while she had been in the city war had been declared because the monster behind her had raped her mother. Rikka had no idea that it was the infamous Haku Soul chasing her heels and that he would not stop. That he would catch her and make her suffer. Hope still reigned in the woman's heart. Or it had, until she felt a claw lash against her back. The fire and pain from that single stroke made a choked cry come from her throat and now she began to understand. He wasn't going to let her go. He wasn't going to turn away. He was faster on four legs than she could ever hope to be on two, and what she had just felt was only a fraction of the pain that was to come. Then real, true fear gripped her like it does any animal of prey and in a last ditch effort she pushed her body to move faster, to run as quick as she possibly could in this form. Hope was gone from Rikka now though, for deep down she knew that he would catch her despite this effort. She knew she was doomed. |
