The unusual warmth of this late autumn night wrapped itself around her as she lay motionlessly within the meadow. The world around her fades out and she is soon enough exploring through the distant realm in her mind. Snow-capped mountains rise ominously from the earth and a harsh winter wind blows relentlessly at her back. She is cold, shivering, and in the distance is a familiar blackened silhouette.

She runs and runs until her lungs are stinging from the frozen air that is inhaled until she stops at the figure and barks for her to turn around. It's her mother, she just knows it! But the face that turns to see her is not Naamah but another that looks like her.. only marked with blood and a kiss of white beneath her eye. The other girl grins and a faint chuckle morphs into maniacal laughter. Without realization, Sanguine kicks her paws and whimpers in her reality, unknowing that she has succumb to her hallucinations.

That is until the softest of voices coos from behind. In her mind, she turns to see a shadowed figure calling for her, beckoning her to return home. She takes a step closer to the figure and another and before she is aware of it she is running until she collides with them. Only then does she open her silvered eyes with a gasp.

She leaps from her position and shrieks something terrible as she comes face-to-face with one marked in red. Instinctively she backs up with her tail tucked and ears pinned to her skull. The grasses part as she continues to distance herself from the phantom and before she knows she is stumbling backward over a rock and rolling down a small hill.

She tries to swallow a small whine as she stands, unable to put any pressure on her front left paw, for she didn't want the stranger to know of her whereabouts. What has she gotten herself into??
