Trouble on the horizon

Lucy had gone to Cattail Creek, their other territory, to gather some lavender from the small garden she started when she and Bae-Syl had lived there. The tiny woman knew her sister would keep good on her word of checking at the Hallows for her son but other things had started to stress her. Bae-Syl, Vitani, and Ikuchi were down bound, sick with something. She knew Bae… he wouldn't let another healer near him or the kids. But Lucy questioned if she had the ability to heal them. From one thing to another, she was fighting to be strong for Nova, Sou, Jericho and Baecette. Her children would no doubt see that the woman was beginning to fray. She worried for her mother, for her mate and children… surely the Divinities were not forsaking them…?

She had been gathering herbs when laughter and splashes of water caught her attention. Lucy would approach cautiously, fur on end, and the moment she saw someone laughing and talking to herself she froze. Normally she'd be more understanding, try to help, but after the death of her father she wouldn't take chances. None of them would.

Lucy tossed her head back in a summoning howl for the combatants. Hay would know what it meant. Then she stepped from the foliage, ears lowered and body reflecting caution. "Who are you? Why have you crossed the borders of our pack? Was he dangerous? Would he try and kill her, just as her father's murderer had, for summoning the others? The tiny pixie threw up her defenses. She wasn't much of a fighter but… if she had to, she would fight for her home.
