The tiny doe sat by the rivers edge, but far enough away that the river didn't touch her toes. She shivered as she remembered this very river carrying her here, away from her parents and erasing all traces of her. She didn't even know where she was, it was far away from where Daddy's pack used to be. The girl sniffled slightly, but refused to cry. Her ribs and hip bones stuck out of her pale coat, gray masked face sunken in slightly. She was far too skinny for a pup of nearly a year old, but it didn't seem to phase her happy-go-lucky mood. Her pale tail thumped on the earth in a slow rhythm, but she didn't go any closer to the water. Since nearly drowning, she was unsure if she would ever be okay with going back in the water. She licked at her chaps, knowing that she was quite thirsty, but she didn't want to get closer. Gray ears pulled back against her head as she let out a low whine, picking up her front left paw and waving it towards the water, as if willing it to come any closer to her. It had to work, right? |
Because of nearly drowning, Charmeine is very afraid of water and may panic if she gets to close to it.
