Love before first sight

Cricket probably wasn't as dense as she presented herself. It wasn't that she was calculating or conniving, she just knew that it was easier to get by when you weren't seen as a threat... which made her current situation... problematic. Her stomach flipped and turned. Her sides were beginning to bulge and she was so, so hungry all the time! But the thought of red meat had bile burning the back of her throat. No. She knew exactly what she wanted, and she'd find it in the rivers and streams that cut through what was becoming one of her favourite places close to home.

Fresh fish...

But first... she had an itch to scratch. Maybe she could cover her ass a bit longer and convince everyone else it was just worms?
