• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

One-Shot I'm warming up for NaNo already...

Mewtwo

Mage of Blood
Pronoun
she
This is an exactly-250-word one-shot that I came up with randomly, to get my creative juices flowing.
EDIT: It's not exactly 250 anymore, as I changed something.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luna froze; yes, she heard something. Someone, something in the woods was spying on her. She did a quick 360; nothing seen by the visible human eye…

She crouched down on all fours, fur bursting from her body as her bones and muscles rearranged to form the body of a grey wolf. She sniffed the air, trying to catch the scent of her enemy.

Yes. There it was.

She started growling, a low rumble at first, progressively getting louder. The first shot rang through the forest, zipping through trees and narrowly missing her skull.

That way.

She lifted up her muzzle to the night sky, her deafening howl echoing through the forest. She heard the hunter’s footsteps as he ran. Luna was in no position to let him get away, however.

He’s a threat to the forest. She dashed after the hunter.

He killed my family. She was catching up; the wind was in her favor, she could follow the hunter’s scent easily.

He could kill off the entire forest, without a glance back. She put on a burst of speed, shortening the distance between her and the hunter. She could see him now, his camouflage clothes sticking out all too much, his footfalls louder than they should.

He is a threat to the entire shape shifter community. She leapt, the distance shortening until it finally closed, her teeth locked around his neck.

Her fangs dripping with blood, she lifted her muzzle to howl once more before melting into the night.

I really like it Mewtwo! Stories about wolves are my favorite. I could really picture everything, from the dark forest to the she-wolf herself. I really have nothing bad to say about it, at all. But if anything, though this is only to my taste, instead of saying "She took off running", you could put "She bolted off". Of course, you don't have to put that, because what you put is awesome enough: again, it's just to my taste.

Anyways, I love it. Seriously. It seems like it came straight out of a freaking book.
