Firefly Glen We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay

@Charon

She couldn't say she was surprised that her time had finally come, but that didn't make things any easier. She felt like she had no control over herself, and so to avoid any possible mistakes that might cost her her place in the pack, the healer left the safety of the mountain to find somewhere to be alone until her season passed. She slipped away long after the sun had set when she thought she was less likely to run into anyone and now found herself making her way through the glen. The spring brought the fireflies back, and they sparkled above her as she trotted across the soft, new grass. 

Spring really was her favorite time of year and even though she was a mess of hormones and permeated a not so subtle scent that basically called to any male in the vicinity, she decided to take some time to enjoy the clear night. A quick glance around told her she appeared to be alone, and so she settled into the soft grass and watched the insects blink around her.
