Running through the forest with strength waning, Sin found it harder and harder to maintain stealth. Her head turned sometimes, eyes narrowing as she imagined seeing animals... or at least shadows drifting between the trees that reminded her of food. Nostrils flared she paused for a moment to take stock and re-awaken herself to her new surroundings. So much had changed since she was last here... fear wasn't ever anything she felt because she hated who she was, what she was... curiosity piqued her senses however and kept her moving once she had caught the scent of the living creatures.
Finally after what seemed like miles further through the rugged terrain of the forest, she came across an injured deer... with hate heavy in her heart for what she was about to do she sank her teeth into its flesh, drawing deep and quick upon the fount of life which flowed forth from it's neck. What wasn't enough to keep the deer alive, restored her enough that she would be able to go on until she could find a human, and drink of her own species. When the last drop had been taken by her, and the last breath taken by the deer she remained a moment out of simple respect for the strange way nature provided... even for creatures such as herself which were no longer accepted....
As her mind came out of its haze, her liquid black eyes fell upon the sight of her hand resting upon the hide of the animal... widening slightly in shock and surprise at how far she had gone this time before awakening. Knowing that change would not be imminent she sat back a while, leaning against a tree just resting and allowing her form time to restore itself. Idly she brushed one hand across the leg of her pants, curling her lip in distaste as it came away covered in dust and cobweb... This simply wouldn't do... but for now she remained there. |
