Haunted Wood Are you ready for what's to come?

The male made a move towards her, and she increased the distance between them by twice as many steps. He hadn't responded to her yet, and she still didn't trust what she heard. She was about to turn and leave when he spoke again, confirming his name. She turned her gaze on him once more, taking him in. Her eyes filled with tears, hope and fear creating turmoil within her. She wanted so badly for it to be him, but it had been so long that she simply didn't believe he was here.

And then he spoke her name. Her heart swelled in her chest as she gave a brief nod confirming that it was her. Hope was winning out and she took a step towards him. Her body remained hunched down with her tail tucked deeply under her. She hadn't approached a wolf since she left home, but this was Sebastian: her brother, her protector. She could still trust him... Right? Fear came in the forefront, and though it stopped her from going further, she didn't run either.
