Take a Breather

Paws quietly padded with no real path, just going where ever they so choose to fall. Fear still tingled in every nerve of the being but its tight grip had lessen some. Her run in with the nearby pack had forced her to stop and think. To take the time to actually take care of herself. The break in her running was greatly needed for her physically and mentally. With a meal in her, a few winks of smile, she was able to think more clearly.
This land was so much different from home. And the change in landscape made her realize just how far she had actually come. Was it possible she had run far enough for HIM to not find her? The thought that HE still could made her shiver. But she had to force herself to stop and think things over. And by stop, well she physically stopped when her toes hit water. Her icy blue orbs looked up, focusing on the world around her more clearly.
It seemed her wanderings had brought her to a lake. The grey and red female cast a wary keen eye around her before easing herself down on her belly. She still felt oh so tired, maybe she should have taken better care of herself. After all she wouldn't be in any shape to go up against HIM if he did find her. But the will to live had pushed her this far. Looking at her reflection she scoffed at herself. She looked nothing like herself; matted, dirty, thin, almost looking dull and lifeless. Head lowered down as lids grew heavy till both head hit her paws and her eyes closed. But like always it would not be a peaceful rest for as soon as she fell asleep she would be twitching and muttering.
