Blacktail Deer Plateau Social Casualty

So excited omg!

Scarlett's tail had the gentle sway she always had. She was surprisingly relaxed for being outside of Bearclaw. The high walls were so comforting and knowing that there was only one entrance made her feel so safe. Nevertheless she still felt calm waiting for her friend. But it was not her friend that she got to see. For a moment all her muscles stiffened, her heart skipped a beat in shock. Her ears fell back and her eyes had a panicked look. It was more because she expected Tuwawi to jump out of the bushes now. She instantly felt like crying because the shewolf was her worst fear. She sometimes had nightmares of the red lady doing something awful like ripping her unborn out of her belly.

She stepped back in her own protection, all her senses on alert for other wolves that might be around her. She was so tense that she felt a cramp going to her belly. Well there went her calm mood. She inhaled sharply, she was an alpha now. She couldn't show fear or any other panic. Calm and Assertive. Her nose didn't smell Tuwawi around this place or in his fur. Still the soon-to-be-mother was suspicious. Malachi had betrayed her once before. Her red eyes still had some kindness in them even though they were mixed with shock and a bit of revolution. "Malachi," she returned, surprised how strong she sounded, a hint of a question in there. "I did not know you lived here."

Scarlett had once checked upon Duskfire Glacier, which in turn she had a reunion with the unpleasant Manauia. After that Scarlett never returned to the taiga. She didn't want to have any contact with the wolves that threw her out on the streets for having morals. Or that had cowards like Malachi that didn't dare to speak up. It seemed that even he didn't manage to survive the cold and bitterness that was the Glacier. Scarlett didn't know that the pack had disbanded. She was perfectly content in her own valley. "I actually didn't howl for you," she then pointed out. Her rounded sides calmly moving with her evened out breathing. She was doing better at calming herself. It helped that she knew that Osprey and Blue Willow would help her if anything happened. Maybe even Koda if he still lived here.
