Whatever it was didn't sound right.
Sunniva could barely catch her breath, could feel her face flushed from her frantic half-running/half-scurrying. A full out run would get her right into a tree and whatever was chasing her would enjoy a pre-dazed meal. With one hand out to guide her way, gentle soft fingers cut and pinched by sharp bits of bark, Sunniva fled the meandering monster.
Maybe it was just a friendly dog.
It wouldn't be her who found out though, Sunniva was blind and the last thing she wanted was to be caught by the beast. Or whatever it was following her. Did she call for help? Did she just give in and get eaten? While Sunniva wasn't thrilled with the fact she was fat with a baby, the idea of letting a monster eat her didn't appeal, and her out of breath shuffling continued. Maybe it was all in her head. Maybe there was nothing behind her and she just scared herself into running into... Where.
Didn't matter. She was convinced she was being chased and she'd run until she passed out or --
With a harsh grunt, Sunniva's boot caught on a root and she fell forward onto her hands and knees. Pain radiated up her arms and legs, sending the soft pulse of pain through her muscles to rest at her shoulders and hips. Quickly she took stock of where she was, she could hear a fire, smell things that weren't forest. Sunniva could sense there was someone else there. Nothing about them, not how they looked or if they were human but... She knew someone was there.
"Help me," she called to the darkness, lifting her head up. Sunniva was a beautiful woman, pale and rosy, long wavy red hair that hung over her shoulders and was so long it nearly reached her hips - Though at this point, it pooled into the dirt. Despite her soft features a jarring contrast was her closed empty eyes, "I think something is chasing me but I don't know," her voice was watery and she quickly got herself up onto her knees. "I can't see, I don't know." On reflex she turned her head over her shoulder, like maybe she could look and her scuffed bloody hands pressed to her distended belly protectively and she simply remained. The heat of the fire warming up her left side.
"I don't hear anything," she whispered, now that she'd stopped running it was so clear there were no other sounds except for her, "Do you hear anything?"
