No one knew where it came from, or when it started. But with no warning, people started getting infected and dropping dead left and right. A deadly virus had broken out, and the world was in chaos. Everyone was on the run to get away from the big cities where the virus thrived, paranoid of going near any other humans in case they were infected. There were also hybrids; strange beings a mix between a human and an animal. They were wanted dead by most humans.

You were one of these hybrids, and had sought shelter in a thick forest. Everything was fine till some wandering humans saw you and caught you. Before they could steal you though, an intimidating, tall man rescued you from them. In your exhausted, cold and scared state, you didn't realize he was friendly and you ran, scrambling away from him. That was how you had ended up here, running through a forest and trying not to trip over the branches on the ground. You could hear his heavy footsteps behind you, making adrenaline flood through your body.

"Wait! I won't hurt you!" He shouts, but you're too terrified to stop now.
