Auburn was dead silent as Meerkat led the way to wherever she was taking her. Cedar Sweep. It sounded nice enough, but the thought of being left there alone after so many months of being alone just sounded like torture. Like she was Rapunzel trapped in her tower (not that she knew who Rapunzel was).
When they came upon the stream, she drank her fill, though she really wasn't very thirsty. Water had been much easier to come by than food on her journey alone, and it was the only reason she was still alive now. Then she continued on her way with the woman who had saved her life, silently, silently. Her mind was in turmoil, her emotions all a-jumble so that she wasn't even sure what she was feeling.
Her limbs were still shaky, but she felt stronger than she had in days with the deer meat digesting in her belly. Now she probably shook for another reason, one more emotional than physical.
