Without a Sound
Since the disappearance of her parents and her brother, Quake had been focusing on her studies with Starling. It helped to keep her mind off everything, and the girl was devoted to her studies so that one day, she might be useful. Tonight though, she was restless and unable to sleep. Now a year old, she was confident enough to venture out on her own beyond the pack lands. Her uncle Kakashi had given her permission to go beyond the lands, as long as she told him where she was going. Tonight, however, she didn't tell him. He was asleep, and she didn't want to wake him up.
The girl ventured towards the lands that always smelled different then the river in her territory. She was curious as to what was beyond the pack lands, the only other territory she had been to was the nook with Starling, but this would be different. The night was cool and cloudy, the girls dark form blending with the night time shadows. Crimson eyes reflected the small show of light from the moon, the only part of her visible to anyone around.
Upon approaching the Sands of the bay, her eyes grew wide at the sight of the water. Never before had she seen so much water, let alone a beach. She took in the scene before her, and step by step she slowly stepped upon the Sands. It felt cool beneath her paws, and as she walked she noticed it shifted and moved beneath her weight. She was so taken by the water and the view, that when she approached the edge of the water, she didn't notice the other who had also come out to enjoy the night.
It was only after a wave touched her paws that she shivered and stepped back, and it was then she noticed she wasn't alone. Gasping with surprise, she stepped back as her eyes widened. "I-I'm sorry! I d-didn't know s-someone else was out h-here.." "SPEAK" |
