Grouse Thicket thou bleeding piece of earth

AW but perhaps @Aeronwyn? :P

"Fuck," he hissed between gritted teeth as he stumbled through the glade, his eyes narrowed and flashing with pain. His breathing was ragged and irregular and as he crashed into a tree, and the rough bark tore at his shoulder, he didn't even appear to register the pain as he stumbled a bit more and fell by the edge of a small stream in the woodland. The soldier's legs collapsed beneath him and as his wounded shoulder rubbed against a jagged piece of rock, his eyes watered and he bit his tongue to avoid screaming, the familiar coppery taste of blood present in his mouth.

"Fuck," he repeated, spitting a wad of blood onto the rock as he crouched, turning his head ever so slightly to examine the damage in his shoulder. Bits of fur were torn out and the pale silver was tinged pink with blood. Deciding that it would heal rather quickly, his mind quickly occupied itself with another important subject and immediately, his expression morphed into a pained scowl as the feelings overwhelmed him.

"No...stop," he muttered, green eyes wide and raw with terror. "I can't....NO," he dunked his head into the water, and soon his body followed. Lost in his memories, it would be a matter of time before he drowned completely and died. A pale red tinged the clear water as the blood from his mouth and shoulder seeped into the river and he dipped lower and lower underwater.
