The wind flew past Tori as she ran through the forest like a speeding bullet, Xiumin wasn’t that far behind her but because of her choice of animal that she had unconsciously thought of she was a whole lot faster, dodging trees as if she could sense them.

Something dropped in front of her, a black figure that had Tori freeze and almost hurtle herself into a tree when Kai stalked towards her. His bright yellow eyes glistened in the dark as she stared at him with wide eyes.

She was confused, scared and vulnerable, it felt weird and she wasn’t sure if she liked it. The flicker of white from the corner of her eye had her snap her head to Xiumin’s direction and an odd sense of calm swept over her as Xiumin took a defensive stance.
