| -------- | ─────Rain. Ariana loved it, it was like a temporary way out of the locked cage that had engulfed her from the very start; the start being the day she woke up from her unconsciousness, and her memories from the night before: the bite, the pain, the necklace, the farewell. Away from her thoughts during a miserable Thursday she ran, through the rain, between trees, dodging low branches. That was, in short, what Ariana's life had become. There were other things happening too, obviously, but none helped put a pause to her thoughts as much as hunting, archery, and running free did. Free. That was a word Ariana hadn't dared taste on the tip of her tongue for too long. It hurt, like a dagger constantly following her, threatening her. But no matter; she was used to it. It was fun after all, being in the wild, away from it all. And with that thought Ariana picked up the pace and kept going, no idea where she wanted to go but knowing her way around even with her eyes closed. Habit. Another thing about Ariana was her hearing. She knew the woods well, its sounds did not frighten her anymore. Recognizing them became easy, each type of bird, each creature roaming its depths. Being a werewolf enhanced her senses meaning that, most importantly, she always knew when something was out of place. Crack A twig snapped not far from where Ariana had stopped only a few moments earlier to take in her surroundings and determine her location. Instinctively she turned to face the direction of the sound, albeit seeing nothing. No, there was certainly something that had made the noise, Ariana told herself. Her instincts had never failed her yet. After taking a cautious step closer, she stood very still and watched. After thirty seconds of waiting, almost enough time for her to continue despite the noise, something under the leaves on the ground moved. And then it finally emerged. A cat. [ ref pics - x x x x x x ] Ariana's first reaction was surprise, her eyes widening. She had never seen such an exotic creature before, and its fur was completely black. Only her eyes, now still closed, weren't the color of the night. She was beautiful. And not only that, the little animal was a newborn, Ariana could immediately tell with her knowledge of the wild and its inhabitants. Although this cat didn't look like a predator, there was surprisingly little difference between them in that helpless state. But where was the mother? There was no time to wait. She was probably dead, given the dangers of the woods. What was this little kitten doing in the woods anyway? Looking for a trace of anything else that was out of place, she saw it. Bootprints. The kitten had been left behind, no doubt. Ariana knew better than give in to the temptation of following them, the black fur-ball was probably going to die of hunger soon. Gently picking her up, she carefully made her way back home as quickly as possible, bringing the kitten with her. Surely her mother wouldn't mind. ••• After a month of being fed and cared for, the kitten was ready to start her journey more independently. One hour after letting her roam free from the special tub Ariana had put together for her little friend, she came back with a dead mouse. Ariana hadn't named her yet, wanting to give her a meaningful name that suited her. As soon as the kitten came back, she knew: her name would be Cazadora, meaning huntress. Born on the day of birth of Artemis herself, on the first Monday of the month, it would suit her perfectly. Navigating the woods together they soon bonded, Ariana having an untamed hunting companion, two stubborn and brilliant souls now best friends. A way out of her cage that seemed too real to be true. |
