Redhawk Caldera i am the wild one break me in.

Takes place before this thread. @Fox <3

Finley was at it again. She had woken early that morning like she always had, but instead of going for a run along the circuit she had chosen through the Caldera, she slithered out into the sunlight and bolted in a straight line for the borders and beyond, making a beeline for some yet unknown destination. She knew only that she didn't want to be there anymore, not in the Caldera all safe and snug within those boundaries she had helped to build. Mostly because she had no desire to be safe and snug.

The girl was just outside of the pack's boundaries when she stopped near the shores of Lake Rodney to grab a drink. After her thirst was sated, she lifted her gaze to stare out across the smooth, clear water--looking and not seeing. There was an aching in the pit of her stomach that made her want to rip it straight out of her body, though she knew the only defense she had against it was to writhe around on the ground, ineffective and helplessly.

Her mind began to wander towards the cause of her distress, but with a snarl, she thrust herself back onto her paws and stalked off against it. With a deep grimace, she turned her attention to something--anything. And that anything suddenly turned itself into a gentle rattling sound that caused her to stop dead in her tracks.

Fin turned slowly, nostrils flaring as she caught its scent, eyes darting to capture its form somewhere in the tall grasses that surrounded her. Somewhere hidden nearby she knew was her next grand adventure. A grin coiled across her lips just as she saw a patch of grass not far away shift from the coiling of the rattlesnake within its lair.
