Kayla continued to run until her legs collapsed beneath her. The footsteps had faded long ago, but she had continued to run incase they got her too. Oh, how she wished she could have jumped in and helped Liska. But it was too late. Liska was dead, and Kayla couldn't do anything about it.

Kayla flopped down on the ground. She sat there for a long time before sitting up. Her fur was a complete mess. She had dried muss covering her paws and tails, as well as sticks and leaves sticking out of her fur all over. A burr had gotten itself tangled in her third tail. She grabbed it and tried to pull it out, but it was stuck fast. She ended up having to cut off some of her with her claws to get it out, with left a small bald patch.

As Kayla sat there, all alone, the situation really started to dawn on her. She was homeless, lost, alone, having no caretakers or cousins to care for her, and she was almost completely inexperienced when it came to survival. She wasn't a good hunter, she didn't know where to look for for food...

Kayla covered her face with her muddy paws and cried. It felt like hours before all the tears had finally come out. But she had to find a place to stay. Seeing a cave nearby, she ran up to it and peeked inside. It seemed empty.

Kayla ran inside and peered around. It was very dark, but very nice for a home. She trotted inside, and a strange scent wafted up to her nostrils. She tried to identify it, but it wasn't familiar to her.

Suddenly, a huge red creature ran out of the back of the cave, roaring in anger. It had huge, dark red dragon wings, a reddish orange scorpion tail, and reddish lion body. Kayla instantly reconized it as a manticore.

The manticore roared in fury and swung its tail at Kayla. She yelped in surprise and jumped out of the way just in time. The manicore was enormous, much larger than Kayla had expected. It roared again and attempted to claw Kayla to bits.

"Don't hurt me! I was just looking for a home, and I found this cave, and-" The manticore roared again and charged at Kayla before she could finish talking. She ran out of the cave fast as lightning, and didn't stop running until the cave was nowhere in sight.
