Sele had slipped out of Anathema's pack lands, of course it wasn't by much. She wanted to remain near home back had gotten away enough to hopefully not be found by those in the pack. She had her issues and she didn't want to share them with everyone else. But she couldn't get too far away in case her pup needed her. Still she had to get away from him too. She left him to play with his cousin to keep him entertained. So with that taken care of she was free to do as she pleased. She didn't have to check in with anyone or have a certain job to complete within the pack lands so she didn't have to stick around. Because of that she went not so far away to a small little village that she had found in the woods.
She had been to this place before. Because of that she had bypassed the sawmill, already having found that the blade in there were too large for her to handle. She didn't need to go to the other end where the rocks and the farmlands were either. Her path was straight. She went right to where the lazy river those. Hidden in the open roots of a tree nearby she pulled out her sharp rock from the hole, with her having had to sit on the ground to get to it, then crawled over to the river that moved so slowly that the water had frozen. Not that such hardly mattered because the ice could be easily broken since the water wasn't even that deep to begin with.
Staring at the frozen surface of the river where the ice had blurred her reflection she picked up the rock into her hand and held onto it firmly. She brought the sharp, jagged edge down upon her leg and cut through the fur on her thigh. She made sure to dig in deep enough and hard enough to split the skin to allow for blood to slip out and stain her fur. She couldn't mark up her arms since she depended on her hands for transportation but the legs didn't matter so much. And it was because of this secret that she had to leave the pack lands. She didn't want the others finding out what she did in her free time and stopping her.
Gaze was moved away from her distorted reflection to look upon the line of red that had formed on her leg and started to stain the fur around the area. Since the blood remaining on the fur would make it harder to hide she used her rock to break the ice. She picked up the piece of broken ice and rubbed it against her leg to quickly get the blood out of the fur. She then picked up the rock and cut another area to clean away from the blood from the fur. To her this way was therapeutic procedure. This helped her to deal with all of her inner demons and the darkness inside.
