alone together

After she’d departed from the first and only home she’d ever known, Bambi hadn’t known what to expect. She hadn’t intended to join the ranks of another pack right away, but she certainly hadn’t planned on remaining a loner for as long as she had. The solitary life was not suited for a creature like her. She was as a social pack wolf who craved the company of others. In the long months since she departed her father’s pack, Bambi had been miserable. Not once did she regret her decision to strike out on her own, though. Nothing in the world could have convinced the female to live under her father’s sexist reign again.

Early morning found the pale-furred newcomer roaming through the coniferous forest. The trees stood tall and foreboding around her, and her sleek figure weaved easily between them. Although she was slim by nature, Bambi had lost some weight during her travels. Prey had been hard to come by, and hunting large game on her own was not something she was especially comfortable with. She’d settled for what she could find.

Little sunlight was able to penetrate the thick canopy of woodland that Bambi now called home. Mist and fog seemed to cling to the tree trunks wherever she turned. Learning to navigate the place would prove to be a task in itself for the woman, but she was confident in her abilities to succeed in this new pack. Mint-green eyes flickered curiously about Bambi’s quiet surroundings, pale ears cupping forward with interest as she observed the pack lands – what she was able to see of them, at least. Perhaps she would encounter another pack mate or two that morning, but for the time being Bambi was content to mosey around on her own.
