SMELLING THE ROSES
She is not aware of the strangers presence until a soft voice breaks the silence that surrounds her, and immediately the fur along her nape and spine stand straight up. She turns quickly, the front portion of her body twisting around swiftly to face the stranger. Her eyes are filled with warmth as she glances at the woman before her, but the expression quickly fades as she realizes this is not who she was looking for. It is not Artemis. Her eyes glaze over with ice, her eye brows narrowing to glare at the stranger with her usually emotionless stare. "Hello..." She says lightly, her voice a mere whisper as she responds to her greeting. She feels vulnerable now, and curses herself silently for allowing a stranger to creep up so close without being detected. Marco must be somewhere close, and she does not doubt that he will come to her aid should she need it. For now she remains completely still, her gaze locked on the stranger standing feet away from her. What does this girl want? |
