"And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!"
She heard the trees splintering behind her as the giant monster continued to follow. She was small, and sprightly, and she hardly made a sound as she disappeared through the trees. It was loud, and destructive, and left nothing in its wake. Trees and debris flew into the air as he crushed it, splintering around her and scratching her. Her hands flew up to protect her face as a tree fell in front of her, and she slid down under it, sliding through the slippery mud until she was once more free.

As fast as she thought she was, she wasn't fast enough. The hot breath of a Jabberwock came down upon her as it finally found her rushing through the woods, ready to snap down on her and turn her into a mid-day snack. She had no idea what it could do, but if it had any intention of saving her, Maebe slammed down on the second chance timer and hoped it would do so now.
A blink of time went by, and she realized she was under the tree again. She'd just finished sliding. The Jabberwock was still behind her, but it hadn't caught up.
She scrambled back up to her feet, and veered left, instead of following the path. She used a thick tree to hide behind, and waited for the Jabberwock to storm past, following a phantom lead down the path. But still, she waited. She waited until she couldn't hear it anymore, and that meant waiting a very long time.

Second chance timer used.

Eventually, her breathing evened out. When the monster was far enough that it could never possibly hear her, she started to run, and saw the path ahead lighten with sunlight. That was her new destination; as far away from the shadows as possible.

Once more, the Jabberwocky faded out of sight, its heavy tread replaced with a familiar voice.
"Whoa, slow down," her brother was saying behind her. She couldn't, she told herself; the Jabberwocky was right there, and she'd never beat him. She was slowing down anyway, unnoticed. "How do you know you can't? You haven't tried."
Good point. She was sick of running from her troubles, and she had a hatful of equipment begging to be used. She paused, turned, and... promptly got eaten again.
No defeating the Jabberwocky this time, either. Her brother's advice hardly applied to gigantic fantastical creatures with a taste for avatar flesh. She hoped the creature choked on her hat on the way down.

Well the running thing didn't work out great, as she ended up tripping over a root and getting eated. The end.

Entering the woods again, they seemed for the most part quiet. Until something changed.
Nod hissed, a low sound.
It had been exactly what he was afraid of.
He took Defile by the arm, pushing him forward. "Go," he said, and it was a set of words that hardly ever came from his tongue. But here wasn't there, and he wouldn't tire, he wouldn't, but he was not used to running, and he felt teeth tear into him.

At least she'd thought she was dead, but apparently that wasn't the case and simply had respawned. At the beginning. Jack dang it, time to run again but she wasn't quick enough and ended up getting bit.

She was apparently stupid enough to look back this time as the voices started up again and promptly got eaten.

The road split, and Rainmaker was torn about which path to take. She didn't have long to make a decision, though, as she could still hear the monster behind her. Her instincts told her to go right, and as she drank the health potion she found along the path, she thought this might actually turn out okay.

Zar didn't need to be told twice to run away from some oncoming doom. He was one of life's runners and when it came to short sprints his heavy horns and tail were no hindrance. Said tail was what sought out Barth to keep him close, to stop them from being separated if it was at all possible to achieve.

She had to move, it was almost on top of her, but at least it didn't seem to be after her specifically anymore. Rainmaker got hurt just as much from falling branches as it crashed through the trees as she did from the scrape of its teeth and claws.

At least this time she was expecting the respawn, though still managed to get a small nick. Not as bad as the last one though thankfully.

This time she kept on running again, not bothering to look around or pay much attention of the voices.

Against her hopes, Mercurial found herself in the woods with the Jabberwocky a third time. The inevitable opening lunge came once more, with her pocket card announcing the ten HP remaining.
Frustration (now really wasn't the time for it) distracted her, and she was slow to move out of the way of the next bite. The pocket card announcement that her HP had gone down some more didn't improve her mood in the least.
Still, she was up and running, running away from the Jabberwocky toward the next temptation. And it remained to be seen whether she'd succumb again, as she had the previous two times.

The sounds pricked his ears. His name. And the voices attached, soft and sweet, dry and unused, bubbly.
But you can't tempt a tempter.
"Keep moving."
