Heron Lake Plateau i.x : who was only a stranger at home

She cast an outraged look at the golden woman when she accused her of the crime Mou had committed. You bitch! I didn't do-- There was no chance to complete the sentence, as the dark woman came charging once more. Maegi danced as far out of the way as she could, still being herded by the other, when everything became. . .confusing?

The dark woman collided with the man, who'd abruptly stepped in front of her--why??--and promptly fell down--oh gods, was she dead? good--and then all was quiet for a brief moment. She shook her head quickly, trying to make sense of it all. The smell of blood and waste was putrid in the air.

And then she seized her chance.

I helped her escape, she called out to her would-be protector, her words coming fast and frantic. Mou took her. I helped her escape. She's free--

Maegi darted off, paws skidding clumsily against the frozen ground as she tried to get her bearing. She had no idea what direction she was going--she didn't care what direction it was beside away, she had to get away----

you've brought death little girl

death's coming to you

they'll eat you

Down into the floodlands she went.
