The Tangle Blame it all on yourself

love it <3 AND LOVE THE XENA REFERENCES

The girl continued to wander, able to track where the path looped around pretty easily as she left behind a clean set of pawprints. She had a decent sense of direction, but followed the paths nonetheless just to see where they went and eventually ended up trailing along a deerpath that did not loop back. It appeared to be a bit more frequently used, by both deer and rabbits alike. 

Moving slowly, she didn't make much noise- so when she began to hear the crackling and crashing of branches she froze and lifted her head. She was too short to see very far, in the thicket- so she swiveled her ears around to get a bead on where the sound was coming from- and with the amplification, she assumed that whatever it was, it was headed her way. 

She hastily made her way back along her trail to a place where two paths intersected- and tucked herself in along a row of bushes- hoping that whoever it was might blunder right by her, so she might get eyes on them first.
