The Sentinels m+m's

Odessia heeded the call, flattening herself to the ground only two or three quick strides into her escape attempt. She heard the footsteps approaching, and she braced herself for the teeth that would come for her throat. Again, Odessia tried to find her voice. Again, nothing came out. She wanted to tell this other wolf so many things, but there was something very, very wrong with her. She had not been able to make out a single word since she had witnessed Viper's death. Now, she was beginning to worry that she would never be able to speak again. That was a horror in and of itself. How was she ever supposed to be able to convey things beyond simple gestures? She knew it was the way of the wolf, but there was only so much that could be conveyed with body language.
Odessia did not notice the other wolf, nor hear her whispered words.
