Feel the beat now if you've got nothing left

Nova was sat in silence for a long moment, opening her eyes only when she thought she heard the footfalls of another. Was it her mind, playing tricks on her? Her ears swiveled, bright red hues scanning the darkened earth around her. The pale rainbow girl’s breathing didn’t quicken -- she wasn’t afraid. More so curious about whom might be nearby. The young woman hardly made a sound, barely moving until she caught something she was certain was another figure. Just a little flick of fur in the light was all it took to get Nova on her paws. She was curious who was flitting around in the darkness…

...and that might have been dangerous to check out… but Nova didn’t care about danger. She was numb to danger, padding after the stranger with ears perked to catch any noise she could. Her own steps were slow, but only slightly cautious.. “I saw you, the game’s over.” The girl stopped in the darkness among the trees. “If you wanted to hurt me you’ve have done it by now.” The girl canted her head to the side, tail swishing thoughtfully.

“So what do you really want?” Her words, while spoken bluntly, were not necessarily unkind.
