Stone Circle Faced with Fear

@Greyback & @Zugzwang. Set a few hours after this thread! King, I did a minor PP of Greyback already being with her let me know if you want that changed.

Valette trotted through the dusk together with Greyback. After the date night Greyback had prepared for her Valette was definitely more charmed by the male. Now they had another walk together and Valette was really enjoying her time getting to know the male. In fact, she had been rather prioritizing her time with him. So much so, she had not realized that there had been a death in their pack. One of their recent members.

Valette frowned when she saw something move across the plains further ahead. The female grew alert. "What's that?" As she said that the female jumped forward into a run. She let out a loud growl and a bark to let the other know she was approaching fast. The shape was unfamiliar to her but as she came closer she realized that it wasn't a coyote or any other wolf hybrid. It was a feline. The scent instantly brought her back to when she found her mother bleeding on the ground. Cougar.

Valette dug her heels into the ground and came to a stop, instantly freezing into place with fear. It was the creature that killed her mother! Perhaps not the same but definitely dangerous. The female could only see her mother on the ground, close to dying. Her beloved mother. Suddenly she was not so brave anymore to face this intruder. She was nailed to the ground as she watched it in fear which she had never experienced before.

Totally okay with some scratches and/or bite marks. Feel free to make use of the moment that she is frozen in fear to attack Val! :)
