Ouroboros Spine BWP: TSS Bones

Ajei's ears swiveled and she heard the call of one of the youths. It took her a moment to place his voice, but then instant relief. She was scared and didn't want to move. She didn't even open her eyes. She kept them tightly closed, because she didn't want to see the gleaming smiles of dead things staring into her lively eyes with their empty sockets.

She whimpered once and twice. Curling her tail tighter around her rear end. She tried to speak, but her voice felt stuck. Frozen there she said nothing and did nothing for what felt like forever, when really it was mere seconds. 

Raq. She called out. Her voice quivering and fearful. There be dead things down here. I not want to open my eyes.

She whimpered again and squeezed her eyes even tighter. So tight they began to hurt. She reached a paw out and then popped it back to her side fearful she'd touch one of the white gleaming creatures.
