Dawnlark Plains rhythm romancing

MINE

 

Restlessness trailed her like a shadow, snapping at her heels and urging her to stray from Sapphique and head inland. She passed by the glacier and remembered with a woeful sorrow the beautiful, brindled lady she’d met long ago and how she had been the first to enchant Chacal’s heart. 

The thought almost brought tears to her eyes, for some reason. Her emotions seemed so vivid the past few days and she would go from crying with adoration over her youngest siblings to being seized by the zombies and spending all her energy cruising along the beach.

The days were longer and warmer now- perhaps she simply needed to thaw, dissolve, and awaken just like the earth. 

Nevertheless, she froze when she saw a dark figure treading toward her in the distance. His tread was broken by a limp and he appeared to pause at the edge of the plains. She watched him, and squinted. Her nose twitched, and when she caught his scent, she jerked her head up, suddenly.

She stepped forward, her gaze fast upon him, frightened if she moved to fast he might disappear or run away. Her tail lifted only slightly- just enough to begin waving slowly from side to side as she willed him to catch sight and scent of her, too.
