Greatwater Lake misdirection

Selena nearly toppled over like a stunned opossum when the woman snapped near her, scrunching together like an accordion. Still, no words were shared between the two, but the girl was submissive by nature and when a large and in charge woman is on top of you... you don't move. 

"Okay, okay!" She whined softly, looking up with wide eyes as she was being marked. Selena searched desperately to understand what this woman wanted from her. Obviously, she wasn't permitted to leave. Perhaps Selena had unwittingly applied for a full-time fishing position that this stranger had been looking to fill?

The winds lay still and Selena knew that the spirits were in no hurry to move. She had no where to be and she could only feel the warmth leftover from the praise of the spirits for completing her task. Perhaps, she was meant to be here. With this wolf who could not talk. "You want me to stay?" The witch would still speak to her as if she would get a reply though...

The girl regained some confidence and began to unfold her quivering frame to stand normally again. The sense of fear slowly fading away.
