Where was she? She didn't really know but the important thing was that she could find her way back with her own scent trail which was perhaps the only reason she was not running through the forest and screaming like a lunatic. She was NOT lost, she could find her way back to AniWaya but as to where she actually was the girl had no freaking clue. It had started out as a simple exploring mission around the outskirts of the tribe but then she had become curious about the worlds beyond, who was out there? And so she had traveled further and further until the tribe was out of sight and scent and unfamiliarity surrounded her.
In all honesty it was a surprise to herself that she was not panicking at the change of scenery and lack of familiar smells. She was experiencing one of her lucid moments again where clarity of mind was awarded to her and she could almost function as a normal person would. Noise ahead had her peering through the trees to see what was heading her way. Dread crashed over her though like a bucket of cold water to the face as a huge man stepped into her view. Her heart rate tripled and Gemma threw herself behind a tree hoping that he hadn't seen her.
Her breathing was fast and shallow, labored and gasping as the woman struggled to contain her panic that now threatened to overwhelm her completely. Limbs shook with suck fervor that she had to clench her jaw to stop her teeth from rattling. The stench of fear poured from her as loud footsteps grew closer to her hiding place. She was going to die, she just knew it. She should run as fast as she could, his size would slow him down in the forest but terror had rooted her to the spot, she couldn't move even if she had wanted to.
