Swiftcurrent Creek BWP · in a past life

She had just been coming home from a recent adventure, one that nearly had her dead again but that wasn't entirely her fault. A spooked deer had come crashing out of the bushes almost trampling her, spooking her in turn and sending her running for the borders of her home. When she had just arrived and the adrenaline of the rush of fear had burned out, a growling sound came from beneath her paws and she spun around wildly a shriek of fright leaving her maw. Her ears flattened and the panic convinced her that she was alone and whatever monster was after her would get her for sure if she didn't hurry back toward her family. With a shiver of horror she began to run, sniffing frantically and catching the scent of Zephyr on the ground. She still had yet to try and speak to her sister since their return and the fear she had of that caused her to freeze up, at war with whether or not she would rather run to her sister or risk whatever was happening killing her. 


The trembling of the ground decided for her and she set off struggling to track down Zephyr until Helios's panicked howl set her off in a different direction. She ran, heart racing as she was desperate to seek comfort with her only brother even though she wasn't sure where they stood anymore until she spotted Zephyr and Helios huddled against one another already facing it together. After a moment of feeling a sharp pang of jealousy her tail curled between her legs and she slunk forward ears back as her entire body trembled, choosing to ignore the still messed up emotions involving everything that had happened in the past few months. "Is that a monster? Is it something alive?" She asked outloud, voice shaking pitifully.
