Last week's star
After some struggling, the herb was coming up. Tiny strands of roots exposed from the earth - her ears perked up with the excitement that she discovered. Warmth spreading across her body as she took her teeth and delicately pulled it from its crevice. Hailey found this a more safe method to tugging it out. Not only did it make sure the plant did not get damage, but it also made it so she wouldn't go flying back by trying to remove it from its place in the earth. However, her herb hunting seemed to want to be interrupted. The scent of another wolf over powered the musk of the horsetail. Her ears second to catch the sound of a voice, her head turned towards the one who belonged to just a foreign accent. She found her heart jumping to her throat, while appearing rather dumbfounded on the outside. Her jaw was glued shut out of sheer nervousness of the large creature. Hailey was at least nearly a foot smaller - give or take two inches. Her green eyes staring up at this beastly woman. The giant dark woman would give out a growl, definitely not a friendly one. Hailey was stuck with a plant in her mouth so she couldn't speak, but knowing how it was she doubted speaking would help her situation. Almost feeling like her paws were sticking to the terrain, she quietly tried to see if there was an area of escape. Hailey wasn't much of a fighter, though no doubt if she was forced to defend herself she wouldn't just submit. Not to such an unfriendly stranger! Her back paws found themselves taking steps back. Her hackles raised, or more the ends of her hairs stood on end in alarm. As her tail cocked to the right side, her body posture was eager to leave. Eager to get out of harms way if this was possible.
Hailey finally lowered her head, and ears pinned to the back of her head as she clung to her little plant as softly as possible. At one single moment she sought to turn her back on the stranger and promptly attempt run into the tree line. Hoping her speed would be enough to outrun the large bulky creature, she couldn't possibly keep up with Hailey. Attempting to take a sharp turn right she scrambled her paws around hoping to cover her tracks. Spotting mud - she splashed her white body into it. Rolling around until it was caked - her scent masked with rain and now her white pelt ruined with dark brown. She tried to settle herself into a bush - hoping that the beast hadn't seen her. All while, trying to keep her horsetail safe, even if it had gotten a bit of mud on it. |
