hush now, dear children

for @Kove :)

The little loner sniffed at the borders of the ominous woods. Last time she'd been here a white wolf with shocking white eyes had scared her off. She hoped he wasn't nearby, and with a glance at her surroundings, she set into the forest. His scent was quite common as she walked, however, she didn't see him anywhere. She glanced up. Some crows watched her silently from a dark tree branch. Her hackles rose and she continued. After only a few yards more she curled up in the territory as if she was going to sleep, but she kept her head raised and eyes opened. The kid watched for any sign of the white wolf who'd chased her off last time.
