The girl hadn’t noticed the crunching behind her and the chatter of voices until a deeper tone rang out through the trees. ‘ Hello? ‘ The stranger said, and momentarily she was confused. It sounded manly, but of higher note than a typical male. But then again, what did she know. Since leaving her mother, who essentially kept her hidden for six months she hadn’t had any contact with another being. Sure, Emma had taught her the basics of socializing, but nothing compared like real interaction. This was one of those cases that it might have had been handy, seeing as as soon as the word rang out in the crisp autumn air she froze and dropped to the ground, scooting along the debri covered dirt until she was safely out of sight.
Closing her eyes tightly Nevada imagined that the Luperci behind her were carrying weapons, that there was menace in the mans tone, that the cow with them had horns that would be used to gore her and carry her corpse to show off their great slaughter of a young girl.. Wait. She opened her eyes. Cow? Now doubt was being planted in her mind. Surely mercenaries sent to kill her and drag her back wouldn't bring a cow of all things, right? Nervously she wrung her dark hands, glancing to her side. Moving her fingers to her temples the girl thought hard, then came up with an idea. She moved onto her hands and knees and crawled through the still-thick underbrush that was present through the mountain forest. As quietly as she could, she moved from ahead of them to directly west of them, keeping downwind.
Once she was safely behind them, she poked her head out of a place where she thought she wouldn’t be observed. Her violet and fuchsia eyes widened at the sight of them, and she almost had to giggle. The cow was probably the least threatening thing she had seen in her life, and looked like it was a dairy cow anyhow. The other two she couldn’t be sure about, and she lifted her stained muzzle to the clean smelling air and sniffed daintily. Well, one of them was definitely a girl. It was possible it was the brindle-coated male that had spoken, though the slightly feminine voice looked as if it had matched the dark-coated female leading the group. “ Hello. “ She called out lowly before ducking back under cover and observing their reaction.
Would they notice that whoever was in front of them was now behind them? Maybe a small game was what was needed to drag the meek female out from under cover.
