Take a Breather

It was always the same when it came to sleeping for the small girl. If she did manage to actually sleep it would only be for a short time. Her mutterings and twitching lead to a more dramatic display of thrashing before she was jostled awake to her paws, growling and snapping at the air. It would taking her a few moments to come to reality, icy blue orbs wide as her fur prickled with a cold sweat. Would these nightmares ever go away? She shook herself out with a heavy sigh. If she couldn't sleep then she might as well do something with her appearance.
Slowly she wadded into the lake, the cool water zapping her body to life. It was refreshing to feel this alive. Her weakened body protesting about the cold water; at least it made her feel more alive than recently. The girl would wade into the lake till the water reached her shoulders and dunk her head in briefly to rid the dirt off of her face. Sure she could have groomed herself but that would take to long, this was much fast.
When her head resurfaced an odd shrilling noise catch her attention. Ears flicked as eyes sought out the source of the noise. She could feel her skin prickle with unease at the strange noise. Her eyes fell upon a dark colored wolf laying at the water's edge and her brown creased in confusion. At first all she saw was the wolf till her eyes spotted an old creature sitting on him. Ears pinned back with a slight tilt of her head. What was that thing? And why was he allowing it to sit on him? She would snort trying to figure things out but not willing to move and voice her questions.
