Along the Ledge

With Elias gone and the pack disbanded, one would of expected Tana would of moved on and reveled in her freedom. This however was not the case. She was lost without having someone tell her what to do and when to do it. She'd been born into the life of a slave and didn't know what else to do with herself. So she stayed, waiting for the master to return or someone else to come along and force her to go. The herbs she'd found over the summer were stored in the cave that had been the lambs den. And today she was taking in the warmth from the heat vent outside the den. She didnt dare to too far.

She was sitting with her head low and body curled up as tight as could be. The sulfuric scents herd had been slowly dulling her senses, and from that hunting had been made almost impossible. Not that she was much of a hunter before that. Her weight had been slowly decreasing. As tiny as she was she doubted that she would last winter up here and would have to move to the maw soon. Though that was something that scared her. Elias had told her that she was not allowed to den there and had made it clear when he terrorized her. Of course she was still afraid even now as she sat there waiting for the praetors to come retrieve her. She had no way of even noticing the bird that flew in the heat drafts or the wolf that was slowly approaching. He was after all downwind of her.
