be the lightning in me

She did a poor job of hiding just how incapacitated she was, or maybe it was some kind of deeper more well laid out plan. Just look like she was unable to even stand to lure him close and then that’s when she would up and strike. He wasn’t answered right away, she hesitated like she was gathering her strength, preparing herself for the trial ahead. Indigo remained still and patient until she mumbled something nearly incoherent. He understood the words she said but was confused by what she was trying to say. It certainly wasn’t an answer to his question. Eventually she opened her eyes, almost as a follow up, and Indigo was given the reveal of her surprise. She had been expecting someone else.

Still, Indigo didn’t move from where he stood in the tall grasses as she took him in. Now that she was looking at him Indigo noted the duality of her gaze and the intricacies of the markings over her pelt. More evidence to her running was the muck and dirt unwashed from her subtle orchid fur. She rolled and wabbled, revealing further her inability to back up the words she spoke while doing so. Indigo lifted a paw as if to rush and help, but stopped himself before he could take even a step. She was cold and untrusting, but the last thing Indigo could do was blame her. Who knew what was chasing her, every face could spell her doom. She didn’t know him.

”I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He told her honestly. ”My name is Indigo, I’m part of a pack near here called the Hallows.” Indy didn’t know what else to do but tell her about himself, if she believed him or not. ”I don’t think you’d take my throat, but you’d give me a good run for my money.” He refrained from mentioning her inability to even stand up at the moment. She was doomed if whoever was looking for her found her now. ”I really just want to help. I can help see to your wounds, or set you up with a meal…” He didn’t know if she could even let herself accept any of that from him she was so mistrustful and cold.

Indigo’s attention was drawn behind him at the sound of paws through the grasses. He just barely saw a tail wave over the grass of one of the ridges. ”Get down,” he whispered warning. ”We’ve got company.”
