Run. Run. That's all he had known, the fur breezing against him, his body brushing up against a few trees as he finally made his way into the marshlands, Marcel's paws becoming drenched as he entered the damp environment with his quickly beating heart that pulsed with fear and anger. The only two emotions he knew to be quite exact. He had been on the run from the humans, ones who took him into a lab to try and extract his DNA to create more animals with piebald coats. They ran tests on him, treated him like a lab rat and finally after a few months of being trapped in that hellhole, he was able to escape with his fur and body intact. Those lab walls had been next to the only thing he knew, causing the marshlands to be unfamiliar and unwelcoming.
Marcellus knew he couldn't stop running with the humans being so close only moments ago, though he was hoping that they had decided to quit the chase considering how dense the woods were. Barely any sunlight shone through the trees up above, his pelt beginning to grow drenched and the white spots beginning to become covered in mud as he ran in deeper and deeper, crossing the border. The king cheetah yelped as he tripped over a root of a tree, his body taking a large tumble into the ground, his pelt becoming covered in mud. "Fuck." He growled under his breath, giving deep breaths as he moved up a paw to rub his now throbbing head, looking from side to side before he forced himself to his feet. The sounds of human made machines were no longer in the distance, or not to be heard at all which had caused a wave of relief to wash over the abnormally pelted male.
The king cheetah sighed and departed his jaws to take a scent of the air, his eyes widening as he realized that the forest hadn't exactly smelled of forest scent, but the scent of animals. A lot of animals, and he had crossed the border, just now realizing that he had. Huffing, the cheetah began to lug his body through the forest and back to the border, limping as he tried to make it so hopefully no one would catch him over the border.
