The darkness presses in on her, it obscures the shadows and every movement puts her further on edge. Her heart thunders wildly against her ribs as fear rises from her chest and into her throat. Finally from the depths of the forest he materializes. He is familiar and it dawns on her quickly that he is the one she had just came across. He is the beast that had brought those memories crashing back down on her. Her ears immediately plaster against the delicate skin of her nape and her nose wrinkles in distaste. Dangerous times to be wandering the woods alone. His words are full of malice and they cause her heart to still in her chest. "I'm not alone," she lies. The few tense seconds tick by before he speaks again and informs her that dangerous men wander these woods; his words cause a shiver to run the length of her spine. "Like you?" she asks with a raise of her delicate head. As the words leave her lips another movement draws her attention but the stranger does not linger long before they disappear into the dense foliage. She jerks her head back to the stallion, her eyes narrow as she spits her words. "You can take me to the Prairie and that is the only place I will go," she spits between barred teeth. Her tail lashes against her pale skin with a resounding slap. She prepares herself for a fight that may or may not come. wayfinding woman of the prairie |
