Contest Entree (#1): xTicci_Tacox
Blood, Darkness, BrightPaw... That was the last thing I saw before the shadow of death finally tugged me under.....
~20 Minutes Earlier~
"Come on, BrightPaw." I urged the ginger and white She-Cat, my amber eyes boring into her like daggers.
I could tell she felt uncomfortable under my gaze, But we both knew that we would do what it takes to make BlueStar see that We were ready to be Warriors.
"SwiftPaw...Is this really a good idea?" BrightPaw snapped her mouth shut when I cast her a look, and we continued towards Snake Rocks.
Upon arrival, the tainting reek of canine hit my nose, and it took every last ounce of courage to keep from bristling. 'No Going Back Now,' I thought, and paused.
BrightPaw stared ahead, her fur on end. "BrightPaw..W-We'll be okay." I promised, yet my voice cracked, and I couldn't help but doubt my own words. What if We did die?
I refused to let my thoughts channel on, and I tore ahead of BrightPaw. It's not like these stupid dogs would be any bigger than one of those tiny ones, right?
BrightPaw followed, though Her pace was much slower than mine. She was more precautious then I was, which was very little.
Then, A howl shook the ground, and my blood went cold, a shiver running down my spine.
Fear, had swallowed me whole, and I knew, That this could be my last. I looked over my shoulder at my companion, and I turned around, starting towards her, ready to tell her to run.
"SwiftPaw!!!!" She wailed out, and I turned, eyes widening. A large, black and brown figure bowled towards me, far bigger than I thought. On it's heels, two more of these huge creatures.

Back and forth I was thrown, side to side I was swung. Everything was but a blur. "BrightPaw!" I wailed, swiping blind at the muzzle that held me captive in it's slavering jaws.
I managed to escape the Canine's ruthless grasp, and darted forward the leave, when I noticed BrightPaw, one of the larger, bulkier pack-dogs gripping her by the face. My ears flattened, and I risked it, slamming forth into the doberman's side. It huffed, releasing the mangled-faced BrightPaw. I couldn't risk a glance at her targeted face, and felt those jaws close around my small bodice once more.
'This is the end..' I thought, yowling out when it's fang sank through my flank, blood spitting from my mouth into the ground.
Finally, the Canine's retreated, leaving BrightPaw and I helplessly wounded. I felt my breath tug in my throat, but blood swelled through it, and bubbled in my nose.
BrightPaw lay ahead, her pelt blood-soaked as face damage beyond repair. That is when I realized my mistake.
Slowly, I allowed a dizzy shadow to over-take me, and everything went black...
