A Fun Day Turned Bad. [HALP!]
When the blood curdling scream pierced the air, it was enough to stop in her tracks, startling her. She would frown, noting the childish sound to the strangers voice, but the scream was not a word she recognized. Picking up her pace, she intended to investigate, wanting to make sure that no child was indeed being harmed. A frown continued to mar her features, only deepening when she heard the distinctive squeal of a boar. Toes would splay to absorb the sound of her approach better, her posture immediately becoming defensive. A howl would fill her ears, the fear ringing out loud and clear. She found it odd that the creature was so intent on getting to the child.
Without a second thought, she would launch herself forward, a vicious snarl slipping free from her jaws. Ears pulled back as she snapped at the boars legs and back end, sending it only into a further rage. Her hackles lifted as she continued to snap her jaws, darting in and out to avoid its tusks. It was a seemingly never ending game, her darting to and fro, jaws snapping, angry growls leaving her sooty lips as the animal turned its anger on her. But finally, it would flee, storming off in another direction.
After a moment, she would relax, listening carefully should it decide to return. But when it did not, her attention would be directed at the hiding child. Lowering herself to the ground, she would peer into the hole, immediately locating him. Even in the dark, she could make him out. And he was red! Bright red! He was unlike anything she had ever seen, and for a moment, she was shocked. "It's ok now." She murmured softly in her native tongue. He would not understand, but perhaps her tone was soothing enough to draw him out. "ọrọ" |
