if you wanna get out alive

Rava didn’t know why he was helping her, she hadn’t asked nor did she necessarily want it. She didn’t want to be in debt, especially not anymore than she already was. She owed so much to Saia… She buried the thought down deep. If she thought too heavily on the decorated woman she would begin to cry, and there was no room for tears right now. Maybe if Naiche hadn’t helped her she would have made it somewhere she could relax and focus on survival. She wouldn’t know now, only one thing was certain and that was she would never be safe.

She tucked herself away neatly, giving him a slight nod as he told her she was welcome. He may not have been excited about offering his help but he was being very kind. Maybe it was a kindness Rava didn’t quite deserve but she really was appreciative of it. Perhaps it meant more knowing he had been so reluctant to begin with.

The star marked woman prayed that her captor would not catch up while the man was looking over her. He didn’t hold a candle to how big her previous master was. She shuddered lightly as the image of Saia’s lifeless eyes stared back at her… Rava shook the thoughts from herself again as she put her head to her paws and Naiche finished the rabbit.

”I’m a runaway slave.” Rava finally said quietly after she’d closed her silver eyes and her body began to relax against the hard ground. ”My master will kill me when he finds me.” She mumbled afterwards, as though proving her earlier words to him. She sighed softly and curled in on herself as sleep touched at her consciousness.
