The young white fae stumbled and nearly fell. She saw the gleaming water and smiled weakly.
Water meant game. Maybe she could find a rat or two and assuage the growing pain in her belly. For now, at least she could drink and attempt to forget the cold, barren days she had spent getting here. She did not know if any wolves owned this territory for she had seen none on her way through, but if it were patrolled by a pack… She hoped they would be kind and good. If she could join a pack, have a family again. Oh, the thought almost hurt it had been so long. She lay down on the edge of the water and lapped some up thoughtfully with her pink tonuge. Her tail curled around her paws hiding ebony claws that matched her nose. Then again, if the pack would not let her join, perhaps they would let her pass through and perhaps even feed her so she could leave the faster. But then again she was being hopeful again.
She decided to wait things out. She then curled up in a ball with her white glistening tail over her sensitive ebony nose and closed her deep blue eyes that were the color of deep blue saphires. She dreamed of Shashaka the last wolf she had dared to call friend. Shashaka’s pack would have taken her in but there were too many to support, so when they had enough to spare they would let her take the scraps. It was a harsh land she had lived in and she understood the need to reject a wolf who would need to be trained to take down big game, but it didn’t mean it didn’t hurt. Shashaka often advocated that Shakela be taken in but the alpha put his paw down, and Shashaka knew that if she pushed him he would no longer allow her to take scraps anymore. So, the adolescent wolf barely out of puppyhood would follow along living off the scraps as she could and leaving when there was not enough, returning come springtime for although the food was not as good, the company was worth a grumbling belly.
(OOC: I know saphire isn't the real code word but since my wolf has blue eyes anyway I thought it would be a good description for them and yes I know the real code word is Oranges and Peaches.)
