ambitious girl

Jinx is making a brief appearance, maybe one or two posts before she runs off!

Her condition had worsened over night. She had been comprehensive when Creidne joined the pack, and though she'd been a little off during the pack hunt, she'd known what was going on. But the morning following the hunt saw Jinx in a totally new state, with bloodshot eyes and a strange anxiety she couldn't explain. In fact, she was so out of it that for the time, she forgot where she was, and who she was.

She slunk through the territory on extreme alert, blinking whenever something weird happened in front of her. The constant sound of whizzing seemed to follow her everywhere, but there was nothing actually causing it. She passed by dozens of wolverines at one point, with one staring out with ghastly blue eyes. The rest were indistinguishable from one another. She pressed on through the forest, thoroughly frightened by these sounds and sights, and it did nothing but spike her natural paranoia.

When she found her pack mates, she was staring off into the distance, walking in a staggered and drunken line, until her gaze found Creidne. Cradled in the female's arms was an antler, but not just any antler. This antler was made entirely out of mouse corpses. The Alpha salivated heavily and began to sway her way toward Creidne with the intent of taking it for herself, slack-jawed and frightening to behold. She stared at the antler like it was the best prize in the world.

In the reality of her mind, the mice were singing to her, and she was transfixed.
