Within the Darkness

*Serra* · 04-13-2014, 06:43 PM

Silence fell after Serra spoke, leaving her standing in the darkness. Nothing moved, nothing breathed, and she was starting to wonder if maybe the wolf she had smelled simply had left without her realizing it. That wouldn't have surprised her, at any rate. Maybe she ought to head out. The darkness was peaceful enough that Serra remained still for a few moments longer, long enough for her to feel a soft stirring in the air. Or was she imagining things?

Either way, Serra was ready to get out. The dark might have been peaceful, but it was also pretty damn cree--and just as she thought this, there was a loud bark from behind her. Serra let out a startled yelp and leaped forward, claws scrabbling against the rocky ground as she spun around, panicked gaze seeking out what had scared her so. She could just barely discern the form of another wolf, and could identify little about the other except that it was a little larger than her, and darkly colored. It was definitely just a wolf, though, and not a monster from the depths of the earth, which she had guessed it might be.

Her breathing and heart rate were slowing slightly to approach a normal rate once more when Serra spoke nervously, "Wh-who are you?" He had scared her good and proper, all right, and Serra was taking more than a few moments to return to her natural state of being. Though her head was held high, and her stance proud, it was at odds with the slight quaver to her voice and the way she had all but fled the wolf when he had startled her. She was glad, in that moment, that her brother was not around, and that he had missed that embarrassing display.
