Running Away Like Always

Walking down the streets of the city was a bit of pain, because people just stared at me constantly, which I absolutely distasted, especially if people started throwing comments. Getting to a basket store, I opened the door and started to look through the baskets carefully, so the owner wouldn't say closed to my face.

"M..May I help you, sir?" A young woman asked me, walking up to me with a nervous face. I rolled my eyes.

"Just looking for a small basket, thanks," I said politely and quickly to her. She nodded a few times and then walked over to another customer, looking more pleased than she had before.

Finding a small basket that I could use to carry vegetables in, I looked at the price. Two coins, which was half of what I had. I groaned, but went to the counter anyways to buy it. Before the man could say anything of a price, I reached into my coat pocket and drew out two coins and placed it in his hands. I hurried out of the store, almost knocking over a shelf at the same time, but I caught it, so the owner wouldn't yell, but he did anyways.

"Get out, you animal! You half-breed, just get out!" It seemed that he obviously hated halfers, so I left, changing into my leopard form, basket in mouth.

I felt the breeze running through my pelt, the wind beneath my paws, but I felt tomatoes being thrown at me, splattering on my pelt. Why did humans have to distaste halfers?

I kept running, and once I got out of the city, I collapsed, falling to my side. The basket was torn up, I spit it out of disgust. Disgusting humans... Damn it! Sitting up, I licked my paws, trying to get out the smell of rotten tomatoes, but it didn't help any. I sighed, and shook my fur out of anger. God, I hate humans...

Suddenly, I smelt other animals, but there was something else... Human entwined with the smell? Other halfers? I heard small steps coming this way, like of a rabbits, and it instead made my mouth water, but I ignored the hunger. I wouldn't eat another halfers. Then I would be disgusting and shunned out... Like I had been for the pack...

I ran to a tree, and climbed it quickly, claws scrapping against the wood. I hid in the branches, but instead I heard the footsteps from earlier coming closer, and approach the tree.

------ I hope this is okay with everybody! ^-^ I tried! ^^
