Running Scared (Odette)

Turning to the woman who had just helped her, she nodded her head repeatedly. T-thank you so much, miss. I-I don’t know what I’d have done if…if you hadn’t heard me… Her voice quiet and shy, now that she was not in distress. She attempted to put some weight on her leg, and winced when she felt the sharp pain shoot up her thigh. She was obviously injured and, while she still had her leg, would not be well off on her own for a while. She looked at the female, all the while favoring her hind leg that had just been nearly permanently injured.
