bad to you

She had an uncanny ability to sense when another was near. Perhaps it was because she had gone so long on her own, she was just in tune with her surroundings enough to know when someone was lurking. She turned away from the water, even though it had been nice to finally have a quick drink, and allowed her paws to lead her towards the sound. Abruptly the smell of fresh blood hit her nose and instead of pausing Lotus continued towards the scent. She hadn't expected to run into anyone and oddly enough she hadn't noticed any prey within the area. Had she really been that out of it that she hadn't been paying attention? She was immediately angry with herself, normally she wasn't this foolish. But curiosity had always been an inner demon of hers and she couldn't resist. Paws crunched delicately against the ash covered ground and mismatched gems scanned her surroundings, she paused. Lotus had almost missed him and perhaps she would have if the moonlight didn't hit the blue marking on his face perfectly, as well as hitting those super elongated fangs of his. He stood protectively over his fresh kill and Lotus froze, refusing to get any closer to him. She knew better than to walk up on anyone, especially a stranger. For a minute there was a mexican standoff as the two stood staring at each other. She swore she could hear her heart beating furiously, the pounding rhythm like thunder in her ears. Part of her figured that she could out run him but then again she didn't want to turn her back on him. Especially considering he didn't seem to be alone. She decided perhaps her words would get her out of this odd situation she found herself in. "My apologies, I figured I was alone out here." She offered to him nonchalantly, an ear flicking atop her petite skull as she inhaled the blood infused air. She watched him almost curiously but otherwise offered him no other words, perhaps he would let her walk away unscathed and she could allow him to enjoy his meal. Then again, the food looked and smelled lovely and Lotus was reminded of just how alone she truly was. When had she had a fresh meal again? A week? Her stomach growled angrily as if to remind her and she swallowed the lump in her throat, she would need to find food after this. Pronto. |
