You could have it all

The pressure of the epidemic had been weighing on the young girl rather heavily. She hated seeing her mother and brother in the states that they were in, plagued by fevers, hardly able to keep the food that was caught for then down, not to mention seeing things that were not there. That had possibly been the scariest of all. No matter how she tried, Anais could not see what the illness gave vision to, and she had no way of fixing them so that they all saw the same things again. Never had she felt so helpless, and it bothered her more than she let on.

But keeping up her smiling, optimistic face had been hard today, and not wanting to let her family see she had slipped away, sneaking out of the pack lands and seeking a secluded spot for a little while. Her place of respite had come in the form of a cave. It was dark inside, very chilly as the shade accentuated the wintry weather, but she hung close to the entrance, lying curled up within the shade and abandoning the bright looks she typically wore to one more suited to her disheartened mood.

She was not sure how long she had been there, worrying over her family and whether the pack would be able to find a cure for them and the other infected wolves, but she realized soon enough that she was not alone. The quiet approach the speckled wolf took brought her near the cavern Anais hid in, and though she did not move the grey-gold girl tensed. She might not have been inside Ebony territory but she was not outside of their reach; if one of her pack mates found her here she would have felt guilty for disappearing as she had to take some time for herself. Her yellow-gold eyes watched the entrance to the cavern closely, but part of the figure that she could see did not match up to any wolf that she knew. A stranger then?

Even in her sadness Anais could not help herself from asking, bringing attention to herself as she lifted her head and asked without her typical spunk, "Can I help you?"
