I have begun to grow even more suspicious as of late. Often as I travel I think I catch the familiar scent of Seline or one of her progeny (for truly she had too many, the she-witch) and each time my heart thunders in my chest and my blood roars in my ears. It is unsettling the way my body reacts to the mere thought of her. Understandable considering the circumstances in which I had been in her company. I was destined from birth. Destined to only know the pain and misery of life. These past few months had been a surprising blessing to me for I had been freed from my chains of bondage by the disappearance of my captors. Some might consider me lucky but I wasn't so sure. I didn't know what to do with this life, this freedom. The skills learned from my childhood pack were minimal and hunting was sometimes difficult. I succeeded only once every three tries. I tried to blame it on my traitorous mind and subsequent panics but in truth I just wasn't as prepared as I could have been. Why had I ever been so malleable? Why I had believed that with enough work, enough effort, my father would have ever loved me? That my family would have loved me. I had been a foolish girl - maybe I still was.
The sandy bank of the lake is soft between my toes. I often spent my days on the island of the Ruieze Lake for it afforded me privacy and seclusion. Not many were brave enough to swim across the lake to the grassy area. I was fond of it for the tall fronds often hid my figure. I could rest in the sunshine with ease. Except I had been found before and it had left a rather unsettling feeling within me. I pause at the edge of the lake with the grimy water lapping at my toes. I wanted to swim out there and yet today I felt like expanding my range wider, finding other hidden niches to keep myself. So I turn from it and move towards the treeline that is awfully close to a pack.
My white ears remained perked and in constant rotation lest a noise slip past me. I guess I could be considered a pretty creature - Seline had called me that but I didn't trust words that fell from such poisonous lips. Most of my body is covered in a very light gray except that it turns into splendid white around my neck and chest and up to my ears, giving me a sort of mane appearance for that fur is longer and thicker than the rest of my body. There is a white spot right above my nose atop my muzzle and my front left foreleg is completely white. Not to mention the white that travels down the top half of my tail. Steel gray eyes survey the world in wariness, pausing suddenly upon a rather LARGE figure of a male sprawled out in the grass and staring into the heart of Diveen.
I wasn't skilled at stealth so I didn't think I had gotten away with anything. He would know I was there. I froze like a rabbit caught in a trap, staring at him in silent contemplation and catching sight of pupilless eyes. He is... creepy and yet he resembles me almost. Gray and white complexion. Just much larger.
