I couldn't find the one I wanted to post, so here's the start of the one one from my maths book. It's basically one of the daydreams you have in class, but on paper (so to speak)

I could hear them getting closer. The snap of a twig, the brush of a foot, a harsh drawing of breath grew to a cacophany in my ears. I twisted away, leaping through the air as my body changed smoothly into canine form. The night became clearer, black and white and sharper with a rush of scents and sounds. My range of view swept downwards and my paws thudded into the earth. I weaved through the scrub.
Where to go?
Make like a hare!
I doubled back and dived into the undergrowth. God, they were loud! Voices sounded close by - ARG! They must be standing nearly on top of me!
"Nothing. The child must be somewhere."
A male voice.
"She's in the bushes"
I froze. I could see the shapes growing closer through the twigs and brush, heard the stamps and rustles of human footsteps.
I couldn't move.
A hand gripped the scruff of my neck and I was lifted into the air, surrounded by faces. My neck smarted. Ooooow!
I kicked at the air, twisting around to bite.
SHLICKT!
Blades shot over my shoulder and muzzle; infront of my eyes...I stopped just in time for the side of my head to gently bounce off them. Even then such a small pressure cut my skin, and I felt a warm trickle of wetness begin to dribble downward.
"For heavens sake, Logan!" an amused female voice sounded to my right. I swiveled my head gingerly to focus ont he new arrival.
"Surely it couldn't have fought that hard!" she exclaimed. I squinted. She looked familier, but I couldn't place her. Where had I seen her before?
"C'mon" said another voice. Male. Young. "Lets get going, already."
The blades disapeared. Even in my situation, I couldn't help noticing what a cool noise they made.
My captor's voice rumbled again.
"Keep an eye on this creature. Got the rope?"
Rope??
