All Around Me

This lake was a very interesting place. She had never seen one that such intriguing plant life swimming beneath its surface that would glow. She didn?t know that was even possible. This new place was full of surprises and part of her was rather curious to know what other kind of secrets it held. She suspected that she wouldn?t be leaving any time soon, given that she rather hoped that she would run into Killian again, but that was wishful thinking. She cursed herself for having enjoyed his presence. That was wrong and more importantly it was dangerous. She couldn?t get close to him. He had been abandoned, so that could very well mean he could abandon her too one day. And she didn?t want that. She didn?t need that. Not again. For the sake of her emotional state.

A chilled breeze swept across the lake, ruffling her cream, peachy tinted pelt, as well as bringing a strange new scent along with it. It smelled rogue, so it wasn?t a pack wolf. The distinct scent belonged to a brute. So a rogue male. Had he spotted her in the middle of the lake? Mismatched eyes flickered in the direction that the scent was coming from, noticing an obsidian man at the edge of the lake. Alessa turned around, her body now facing the stranger, watching in quiet observation as he slowly touched down upon the frozen ice, only to have his forelimbs slip out from underneath him. The front of his body slammed down on the ice while his rump remained up in the air, still on the rather more stable snow covered ground. A high-pitched cry left his dark jaws and the young girl stepped forward, as if to aid him, but it seemed he had an idea, so she remained where she was, watching him. Instead of trying to regain his footing, the man slid forward on his belly, sliding across the ice, a pleased grin curling his ebon kissers as he giggled with pleasure. Obviously, he had never been on a frozen lake before.

He eventually lost momentum not too far from the shore. She watched him as he tried to get himself going again, but to no avail. Now this time he tried to lift himself back to his paws, but he continually fell, unable to find a steady grip on the slippery ice. And then finally he was able to lift himself up to an awkward stand, yet a stand nonetheless. He began to move forward, perhaps interested in figuring out who Alessa was, but he miscalculated his speed, causing him to tumble towards the ice again, only this time he was careening in her direction. Knowing that if she tried to run, she would probably end up in the same position he?d been in, the light colored she-wolf made an attempt to slowly pad out of the way, though she wasn?t quite quick enough. The stranger came sliding towards her, catching her hind paws, throwing them out from beneath her, sending her hind end crashing into the ice. By pure luck she was able to keep her upper half up, but it took a lot of effort for her to hold herself up without completely toppling over. Sure that he?d gone past her, Alessa slowly brought her back paws beneath her again, allowing several moments for them to adjust before she turned in the direction of the stranger, slowly beginning to pad towards him, wanting to see if he was alright.
