Then you're the queen of the damned...

sabeen !

just inside Berwick...

When she ran, it was never for her life. Though it always felt like it. Never had she ran away to save herself from some pending danger. She was always just running, in hopes of separating herself from the anguish that was held within. It was impossible to place miles between she and something that lived with in her. But hell, she tried again and again. South had been a road Anu had already tried, and it placed her in the hands of a massacre, and a rapist. Instead in the earliest of mornings the lean female traveled northward. The travel was long, and the scenery bare and forgettable. It had been cold, in the dark of a clouded sunless sky. Winter raged on, but instead of the light snow that settled around her paws the sky gave a weeping icy rain. A day gone to the road the female slowed her pace, as the scent on the wind changed. Never had she been so far north. The smell was foreign, but she felt that maybe she had found it before. Putting it behind her Anu felt no hesitation passing through the imaginary boarder with a single stride. The two-legged wolfess entered with no intention of trouble, she was leader of her pack now and a representative so her body held at a neutral stance. Pace slow and easy, she figured that no one would find her threatening. Blue eyes looked over the change of worlds by entering. The human artifacts were littered over the landscape. It reminded her of Halifax, but it was missing the dank and dark feeling that she received from the city. Nature had claimed far more of this place, and Anu found herself touching the remnants of a broken fence, or looking at the fallen mail box that lay at the foot of a much smaller version of Haven Manor. She hesitated, before crossing the lawn to look with in the grimed window. In all her years, her curiosity still hadn’t slowed or shrunk at the least.
