Meadowlark Prairie my face turned pale as deadly pale

To her utter surprise--and fear--the cow headed her way, hooves thundering over the ground. Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit-- then some sort of adrenaline kicked in and Maegi became a bolt of lightning, surging toward the beast and ripping into its side with her claws. She heard a guttural sound, and felt hot blood spatter her face.

She dropped away and miraculously avoided hooves, but now she was behind. There was no way she would catch up to the elk now; maybe it would slow down, allowing her to make up the ground. She would give it her best shot, anyway. Summoning a deep breath, the girl rose to her paws and took off again, a pale demon nipping at the heels.
