'Cause I'm Just A Girl

In the days following the incident with the two boys at the market, Andy had closed herself off and begun to brood. Shortly, she would be leaving the northern lands with Kite to go visit her sister, Briar, down in the Hallows so that the former could carry out her plan to run away. All the deception and lying to both her father and Briar has not been sitting well with her and that, coupled with the strange run-in with the boys, has made the girl more irritable than normal.

So, to spare her loved ones from any unplanned outbursts, the purple girl has taken herself out of pack lands under the guise of hunting. Truthfully, she has not told her father what she is doing since he seems to be in mega overprotective mode since that day at the market’s entrance. Carefully, Andy picks their way along the vast stretch of plain, pale blue eyes spying several small clusters of pine trees in the distance.

The girl’s companions hang back, keeping watch over her while allowing the moody girl space. While she keeps watch for any signs of prey, the girl cannot stop her mind from turning back to that fateful day. A sigh rolls past her lips as she, once again, she thinks of the purple boy and how his words had been cutting. Sure, the red one had shared barbed words and insults but Andy saw him as a worthy opponent to spar verbally with.

Yet, the purple one… there had been a darkness in his mismatched gaze that frightened her to her very core. Part of her hoped to find that red wolf again and share witty retorts with him but another part worries that she will find him with that purple wolf again. Andy’s mind is snapped back to the here and now as she spies a lupine paw print in a very thin dust of snow hiding under one of the scraggly trees. Gaze turns to the area around her as she tries to find who or what left the print.
