Haunted Wood thousand voices dead at my feet

and so the girl had risen as high as her age allowed, though very little seemed to have changed. she'd considered seeking out @Clay, but bullying had lost its appeal a while ago, and he'd obeyed that last thing she'd ever said to him exceptionally well. the only threat to her, really, was @Valour, but he'd realized his defeat and she supposed she could count on that remaining the same for a few more days, at least. 

she's of half a mind to seek out @Black Hat, who seems rather elusive lately, or perhaps one of the females - she hasn't seen any of them in some time, and her uncertainty regarding their intents and motives does not please her. for now, however, she roves the border, marking as she goes, keeping her face as still as possible while she can and hoping the wounds will scab over soon enough.
