Katlin crawled further into the forest, every inch making her hiss in agony. Finally, she fell limp, compleatly exausted from her efforts and gasping for air. At this rate, returning to the cave seemed an impossable feat. She didn't expect the others to come looking. Why should they, really? She was a falure of a hybred anyway.<br/>She could hear noises, sounds of the forest, maybe sounds of predaters. She put her head down in her arms. At this point, she couldn't fight, and she'd rather not watch some animal pounce on her.<br/>No, she wouldn't give up. Gathering what was left of her energy, she pulled herself along the ground, towards the closest tree she could find. She couldn't climb it, but being next to the tree keped her out of the open, and her fur was close to the color of the bark. There she layed down, her eyes closing. If she could only rest, she could make it back to the cave. Just for a while, as hidden as she could get, she could rebuild her strength.<br/>She fell unconsious within seconds.
