Chapter 1

Pitfall

Grass and dead leaves flew beneath her. Her heart was facing and her shoulder hurt like all hell. Blood stained through her grey shirt and tears had begun to pool in her green eyes. Growling could be heard from behind her, along with the sound of thudding paws. She dared not look back over her shoulder as she sped forward, darting into the nearest thing she thought she could hide in. This happened to be a cave in the side of a large mountain, and it looked dark enough to hide herself in the shadows. Looking nowhere but forward, she sprinted inside, only making it a few feet before she tripped over a stalagmite and falling forward. She braces to hit cold, hard rock, but it never came. She just kept falling and she let a cry of surprise escape. With a loud thud, she hit something not too hard, but not too soft, and then her world blacked out.

It was a while before she stirred, groaning in pain as her head and shoulder hurt, and her vision was a bit fuzzy. With shaky arms, she pushed herself up off the floor, which appeared to be covered in...flowers? She rubbed the back of her head, only to find that she was greeted with fur. Knitting her brow together in confusion, she ran her hand down to her neck, thinking maybe she had just touched her auburn-red hair. Nope. Still furry. Utterly confused, she looked down at herself, and then reality hit her like a freight train. Her body was covered in light blonde fur, save for her chest and belly, which were white. Clawed fingers poked through her black gloves and she crossed her eyes to see that she now had a long muzzle, a dark raspberry nose sitting at the end of it. Eyes widening in panic, she then looked behind her, finding that she also had a bushy tail. Now thoroughly freaked out, she looked around rapidly for a way up, but only found steep cavern walls with seemingly no possible footholds. Great. She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her muzzle, trying to recall all the details previous to her fall. She was strolling through the woods a little ways from her small home town, when she was attacked. She was bitten on her left shoulder from behind and then she was chased into the mountain. Then it hit her. She had lycanthropy. She got it through the feral werewolf's saliva that had gotten into the wound.

"Shit." she sighed, flopping onto her back and looking straight up at the hole where she had fallen through. Tears unconsciously began to pool in her eyes and one ran down her cheek as she let out a quiet sob. She rolled onto her stomach and hid her face in her arms. She cried until sleep took her over and she slipped into a light sleep, forgetting that she was lying at the bottom of a pit in the side of a mountain, with no cell phone and no one knowing she was gone.

It seemed like an eternity before she blinked back into reality. She was still furry and wolf-like, but at least she got some sleep in. She pushed herself back up onto her knees, and sighed, looking around with a hopeless expression. She eventually rose to her feet, which were now large and paw-like, and began walking slowly into the cavern, looking for a possible way out. Then a voice made her freeze in her tracks.

"Howdy!" The high-pitched, all-too-cheery voice greeted. Swallowing a lump in her throat, she slowly turned to face the speaker.

TOO BE CONTINUED...

Note: Cliffhanger! Although it's fairly obvious who greeted her. ;3 Anyways, sorry for the shortness of this intro chapter. I've been extremely busy as of late and haven't had much down time for writing deeply. Anyways, my OC's name is still in the works, so it won't be introduced until next chapter. ^^' Thanks for reading! 3
