Sleepy Fox Hollow Rockabye [m]

Last post from me. Thanks for the thread. :D

Potema didn't dare look back as she ran down the mountain, back to the enveloping embrace of the dark woods to the south. She had heard that looking back only made your chances of dying higher than before, and she didn't like her chances at the moment.

Her speed did not slow until she got halfway through Otter Creek, her chest rising and falling at breakneck speed. The girl flopped, exhausted by such a dash, and still shaken by what happened. What had any of her pack done to garner such an unquestioning, fierce response by one wolf? She wasn't just about to go back and ask that brute of a wolf. She wanted home, for more reasons than one.

Hearing Mongfionn caw above her head, circling in the night sky, Potema picked herself up and trotted, slowly, back home, where she would be safe from crazy-ass wolves.
