The Sunspire she will rise above

She wasn't getting along with the new kids in her life, which was a stretch considering she loved everyone. It wasn't that she disliked them, they were just as lovely as everyone else! But the girl was still uncertain, and she had discovered that this uncertainty wasn't a good feeling. She didn't like the change from one place to the next and she didn't like how warm and cramped things were now, what with all the kids bunking together.

Today she'd ignored the other kids and ventured out of the safety of the alpha's den. She had forgotten about the cat and the danger of wandering around outside of shelter, but not the dread or the fear that had accompanied her last adventure — so her steps were careful, precise, and her eyes were looking at every little thing as she made her way, as if it would rise up and strike at her. The shadows made her nervous, you see.

One particular shadow seemed to be following her as she went, and it took some time for the girl to really take notice. Once she did she stopped and stared, wide-eyed, as the shadow got closer and crossed over her vision, blocking the sun. It was another painfully long moment before she recognized the scent of @Terance — and with a bubbly gasp, and called out to her father, Daaah!
