Mirror Mirror on the Lake..

Ears listened to each and every word carefully. Her body slowly began to relax from its tight curl. she never thought of herself as one to quickly to warm up to someone else she just met. But then again there was something about Demoino that was so comforting. She never had a father figure in her life and wondered if this was what it might feel like to have one. Did she trust him enough to open her eyes? She had done it for only her brother who would then beg her to come out to see the stars. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Like clouds covering the moon, her eyes parted open, the glowing green sea steady but could change. Those sea green orbs gave off an eerie look to them in the dark of the night. But they were so pure, untouched, frail, and innocent. But deep down Elysia knew it could change. She'd done it before. There had been time Elysia was not so innocent and carefree. One would notice the change when she hunted, took on a task she knew only she could accomplish, faced off a bear one. Well maybe not alone when up against a bear but she had gave her all with her family. All trying to protect one another.
Those calm steady orbs looked up at Demoino. "I trust you....But there are things out there. Things that hunt us. It watches..i can feel it. So any things are unknown and lurk in the shadows of the night waiting." She replied in a tone too wise and almost uncharacteristic for her. But it was true. "Mother had always keep us hidden away at night. She told us stories...of a wolf, or wolves, that would hunt their own kind, shred them, torture them. That they were the ones that lurked in the shadows. That the night could not be trusted." She paused for a moment. Suddenly realization dawned on her. She had never known her father, her mother always kept them on a run and hidden. And as thoughts linked together a memory resurfaced. Eyes much like hers if not abut darker, the night sky above her. Then those eyes were suddenly so close, pain, shearing pain and fear. Cries of desperation. Someone had died...a sibling.
A quick shake of her head and Elysia was staring down at her paws. Her mother was right. Its not safe out in this world, nor could everyone be trusted not even a loved one.
