Sound bent down to the water to drink. The cool water hit against the back of her throat, cooling the fever that's rested there. As she stood back, her tongue lolled. Alone beside the river, Sound felt at peace. Who needs anything other than nature? She'd been spending more and more time alone now. She had grown taller in her solitary state, her frame hinting a more feminine look to developers in months to come.
Pushing herself through the bracken, the girl made her way to her den. After sweeping aside the weeds that hung from above, she slumped down near the back. The den wasn't big, but a comfortable size for her. Sound's little amount of possessions occupied a corner. An eagle's feather, Brown with black hints at the edge. A few odd pebbles, all different shades of blue or green. A bundle of organized herbs and plants. Nothing too out of the ordinary. The girl had a strong interest in healing and herbs, but was too shy to approach others in the pack about them. With a short sigh of exhaustion, Sound closed her bi-coloured eyes and was soon in a deep sleep.
After a night of fitful sleep, Sound woke to darkness. That's odd... I can hear the birds singing, and the creatures rustling, the heat of the sun as well, but all is dark In a dazed stripper, Sound rose to her paws and stumbled out of her den. That's when the panic kicked in. Her heart beat a mile a minute. It wasn't that it was still dark, it's that she couldn't open her eyes! They had somehow crusted shut in the night. Her paw raised to her head in an attempt to find out whatever it was but their size made it impossible to tell. The girl slumped to her hind and went into a state of shock. Her tail quieted and her shoulders shook What will I do? What can I do? He- The girls thoughts were interrupted as a bout of nausea overwhelmed her. Her sides heaved, the alabaster girl barely being able to breathe between gut aching retches. Afterwards a wavering, high pitched howl tore from her lungs. The message was clear. Help!
