Nimbus Summit Don't say nothing

Had Heldi been raised someplace else she may not have been so aware of her surroundings. Having grown up the bastard of the family she had learned at a young age to always be alert. Her father could not always be around to protect the pup and when he and her half-siblings, the ones who cared, were gone her step-mother was relentless with a barrage of insults and attacks. 

Heldi's ears twitched back, the fur on her neck raising at the sense of being watched. There was a dull thud, the lightest of treading footsteps in the grass. Heldi did not turn back for surely if this wolf wanted to harm her they would have done so already when she hadn't known they were there. 

"I know you are there. There's no need to hide yourself. I am Heldi Rivers- Vledfest. Who are you?" The agouti turned her head, speaking over her shoulder to the mystery person.
