Wapun Meadow i just wanna change

@Krypton!

she had heard of a porcupine before. but never before had she seen one quite so close. 
her golden gaze followed the creature as it munched steadily on vegetation, seemingly ignorant of her presence. she had become rather good at blending in, being there, and yet not being there at all. she was still as she watched, the urge to examine it closer arising. she moved, stalking forward, and it was soon the porcupine caught sight of her. it watched her with beady eyes, and after a brief hesitation, she advanced. it spun, quite suddenly, and she paused once more. 

rather stupid, wasn't it, for the thing to turn its back. her gaze narrowed, contemplative, suspicious, and she took a final, wary step forward. right, it seemed, into its range. quite suddenly, there was a flash of movement, and the creature whipped its spiked tail at her face. the backpedalled wildly, but too late- moments later, her face was filled with searing agony. she yowled, tripping as the madly writhed, and sending another bolt of pain up her ankle. the quills burned like fire, and she furiously swiped at her face, only to further antagonise the burning quills. the porcupine, quite smug, wandered off, leaving Dawn in a frenzy to rid herself of the pain, yowling and withering.
