predator/prey with alpha!getou is heavy on the brain tonight !!!!!!
cw ~ predator/prey, stalking, fear, getou chasing the reader in the woods. (let me know if i missed anything else!)
getou moves so quietly, so smoothly.
The only way you'd be able to tell he's near is by his scent. It's potent and spicy, tickling your nose as you take in deep inhales, eyes searching the wooded area around you to catch a glimpse of the source.
The tiny hairs on the back of your neck stood straight, sending pinpricks down your back and over your arms.
You felt your throat tighten, your body starting to shake in fear as you grew uneasy.
Where was that scent coming from?
You strained your ears, trying to listen for any sound at all, but all you got was the sound of the night wind whistling through the tall trees.
You couldn't move, far too scared to bolt through the dark woods so late at night. Who knows what else was out here?
“He-llo?” you called, voice mixing with the wind as it cracked in your swollen throat. You stayed silent, listening for any response.
Your heartbeat filled your ears, pounding inside your head, too loud for you to notice the wind had stopped. The woods came to a stand-still.
You opened your mouth to call again when you heard a twig snap behind you. You whipped your head around to look for the source of the intrusion. All you were met with was the tall trees and shrubs you'd seen before. No misplaced shadows or forms resembling human figures.
You turned your head back around only to be met with a dark form right in front of you. You stumbled back, falling hard on your back. Your hands dug into the dirt underneath you, caking underneath your nails.
The moonbeams created a halo over his head. If you didn't know any better, you would've mistaken him for an angel.
He smiled chillingly,
“You really have to pay more attention to your surroundings. It's dangerous out here at night.”
His voice was hauntingly smooth. A sweet contrast to the musk that was repeatedly being fed to you in intentional waves.
You stayed sitting on the dirt, fear prickling all over your body. You gulped, digging your hands deeper into the dirt, hoping it would help ground you in some way.
He stood there, not moving, only smiling at you softly as he slowly tilted his head.
“What's got you shaking like a leaf, hm?”
He knew the answer, eyes darkening as he looked at you.
He stalked forward, steps inhumanly quiet. Before his shadow enveloped you, you pushed yourself up, scrambling against the dirt in a hurry onto your feet.
You didn't dare look behind you as you weave through the trees, pushing yourself off the rough bark as you plead silently to anyone that was listening.
You saw twinkles of light in the distance, a clear sign of other people. Your saving grace.
You reached out toward the light, getting closer and closer, vision blurring with tears as you smiled.
You felt a warm hand grip the scruff of your neck, pulling you back into the depths of the woods. The light no longer in your sight.
You hit the ground with a strained exhale, coughing sharply as you gasped for breath. Familiar spicy musk fills your lungs, a heavy form pressing you back into the soil.
"Caught you."
