Firefly had begun her trek back through the dampwoods to the lands beyond. She knew that it was going to be a long a weary trip to her home but she knew that she would have all the time in the world to rest afterward. She flicked her ears back and forth, paranoid that the lackeys from Dahlia de Mai would find her this far out and finish what they started. She pinned her ears back as she paused to lap water from a stream, hoping that soon enough she would be nice and snug in her own blankets with this whole mess far behind her, or at least until she found out some new rumor or truth to what was going on in her old pack.
She sighed to herself and settled down to rest by the creek, glancing into the water, the pale moonlight from above showing her what she really looked like. The tattered edge of one ear, the gash across her cheekbone, and the scratches and scraps all along her muzzle and chin. She frowned at the face, not wanting to believe that it was herself but yet knowing the truth behind it all. She shuddered and laid her head down on her paws and just watched those emerald orbs watching her as she took the moment to gain her breath back.
