Prompt:Her breathing was heavy, her paws continued to shift in the cold sunken air. The cave walls around her were damp and wet, soft sounds of dripping and other unknown things disturbed the air. She knew she was alone, she had to be. But she couldn't help but desire someone else to be there next to her. A growl shattered the air, and she forced her breathing to short and quiet gasps. Her eyes were wide, full of fear and desire for a safe way out. A patter of splashes along the cold cave floor sounded behind her, and she let out a squeal of fear, bolting forward in an act of escaping whatever was behind her. She ran, pressing herself against the rock walls and through thin tunnels, anything she could to escape. How had she gotten herself into this mess? Only by sneaking past her mother in the night to check out the forbidden deep caves that were filled with water and slime. Places that held the prisoners of their group. But now she was stuck here, for good. Finally she collapsed in a heap of water, trying to hold in her breathing as she listened for whatever may have been behind her. But the air was silent again, and all she could hear was her thumping heart. She slowly rose to her paws, tremor ig as she tried to decide which way she came in from. There was no use getting herself further lost, because there could only be one way out. The scary stories of the deep caves she had listened to apparently weren't enough to scare her away, as it should've. It had only made her curious. But what she hadn't expected, was something else to be down here with her. But what was it? Berrykit did not know, but it struck fear within her at the very thought. She gathered her bearings, and a foul scent suddenly hit her. The scent of the beast. She kept her body low as she turned back around, hoping the creature was gone for good. Her pelt was drenched, her body shivering, but she didn't let that stop her from continuing on. She listened for sounds, hoping to hear the sound of her mother calling for her in the distance. But only the sounds of cold water and her own pawsteps filled the air. But the silence was shortened as rocks cracked behind her, and the growl sounded again. She squealed, bolting forward until she tumbled into a center of light, falling out of the deep caves and into the safety of her own home. She whimpered and collapsed in her mother's paws, before being licked clean, and scolded heavily.
