A few minutes passed and the jog went smoothly. The moon stayed behind a large cloud for the most part but now the cloud was beginning to dissipate. Rose knew she would have to start running among the trees soon. She could feel her body beginning to burn as it always did before she changed. It grew stronger, making it harder for Rose to see clearly.<br/><br/>It was time. Without warning she jumped into the trees as she felt her arms and legs changing, darkening and stretching. She suppressed the primal scream she usually emitted when she changed, squeezing her eyes shut instead. Not a good idea. She opened her eyes to see a tree coming at her. Her instincts kicked in immediately and she did a twisting jump around the tree, avoiding the collision.<br/><br/>She kept running, not wanting to lose the group. She could hear them running on the path still but she wondered how long they would stay on the path after seeing or hearing her jump into the trees. It had only been a few seconds and so she braced herself for a sprint if they followed her into the trees.
