I Don't Want To Die

Long ago, back before the Heartstones were captured but the animals remained apart, these stories took place. They all ended inn a haunting phrase....

"I don't want to die."

Looks like not everybody can get what they want.

Daisy by Darkshadow
Daisy, a young Deer, dashed around her village in a panic. After the Great Separation, the animals needed to hunt each other. The Snow Leopards had attacked from the mountains after the Goats, their food source, had fled in their wake. Three Deer were already dead. You'd think three Deer would be enough, but there were literal hundreds of Snow Leopards who were slowly starving without the Goats. If a Snow Leopard had caught a Deer, it had to take back the deer and stop hunting. There were originally twenty hunters stalking the 547 Deer that lived in the herd. Now, 12 Snow Leopards remained in the clearing. 11. 9. 3. 1. Screams rang out, blood flowed, mothers quietly ushered their children into a home, only to cry out and yell for them to hurry out. Daisy looked around, trying to find out who survived that she was close to. As she looked, she felt a crushing weight bring her to the ground. The last Snow Leopard flipped her over, gazing at her. Hunger was clearly in his eyes. His jaws flew down to her neck, sinking in. She choked, gasped, and gurgled, blood bubbling from her mouth. Daisy managed to rasp her final words out, barely loud enough for the Snow Leopard to hear her.

"I... I don't want to die..."
