Shadewood Destination Zero

For @Morgan and @Kukutux. Occurs immediately after this thread.

Chai had made it a habit to make herself scarce as of late. She clung to the shadows as if she were a part of them, stepping lightly and quietly. Always looking over her shoulder, ever watchful. She didn't want to be found, mainly by two particular wolves. Cry and Reiner. It was nothing personal; neither male had done nothing to earn her scorn. It was just...the vibes that they gave off were unsettling. And it didn't help that one of those wolves was her alpha.

She lingered on the outermost fringes of the woods, icy eyes staring out wistfully into the free lands beyond. But she dared not move forward. Not of her own free will. Not yet. And then something happened. A blur of movement, of two forms. One pale ivory, the other earthen, sharing hushed words. Moving away from the Keep. Her heart fluttered erratically, a singe of hope clawing at her chest. Before she knew what she was doing, she was on her way to meet them.

Surprise grabbed a hold of her when she neared, recognizing the hulking image of none other than Morgan himself. One of the very wolves who had been there to so warmly welcome her to the Keep when she arrived with Atticus in tow. Atticus. He was the one who had told her of this pack, who had travelled with her here. And now he was gone, without a word...without a trace. Oh if he were around would she give him a mouthful... Clearing the sour taste in her mouth, she focused on the wolves before her. She stepped sofltly. "...Wait...please..." Came her hushed voice, a plea. As if fearful unwanted ears would hear her. Slowly, timidly she stepped out of the shadow of towering, gnarly tree to reveal herself at last.
