Mirror Mirror on the Lake..

Finally, movement beneath the waters! As quickly as she could her head darted under the water. Muzzle opened and clamped down on a rather large fish. As quickly as it happened the brown female retracted her head and started to back away from the lake in slow gentle movements. No need to disturb the water and the fish. Tail waved high in the air, head proud of her accomplishment. Yes here she could hang around to refill her body out. Winter had made her thin, all too apparent when soaking wet. One step at a time Ely..one step and one day. She thought to herself.
Reaching the shore she carefully placed the dead fish on the ground and gave herself a brisk shake. Thats when she noticed. Fur bristled in alarm and those odd green eyes sought out the scent. Just a few feet away laid a white male. Elysia had never met any others since she lost her mother and brothers. She had been lucky so far. Fear hammered in her chest making it hurt. What should she do? Is he safe? Does she run? Tail went limp behind her and ears flattened with uncertainity. Her rather sheltered and lonely life had made her ill prepared to meet others or even how to react. Slowly she backed away, head lowered down but eyes never left him. To make matters worse...night was going to be soon upon them. Her muzzle parted to pant out her stress. Oh how she wished she was still with her mother or brute of brothers.
Elysia had no idea how to even defend herself. That was somethng her never found interesting as a pup. To wrestle and tackle. No she wanted to track and swim. If this male choose to attack her only hope would be to run like death bite at her heels. A whine slipped from her, unwanted sound. She didnt want any more attention towards herself than already was.
