My hidden spot would stay hidden. Yes, a twig had snapped, but I looked over to the noise and a deer had found a particularly twig covered spot to lay it's weary bones down and rest. Was she that foolish to fear a twig? She must be older than me, for it seems she is used to her body. She doesn't seem used to this place, so I take it she is a foreigner.
I am well hidden behind this bush and two large, large, large trees. I was lurking in the shadows, like a creeper... I never did this, so what caused my hiding today? The mare spoke. She reminds me of me. I used to be the lost horse, well foal, in this very forest. Then, Africa saved me. I was so greatful for that mare. Had she not come, I may not have made it to the morning. Thinking about that, I knew I had to go greet her. So, I emerge into the light.
I now stand infront of her, maybe a few feet away. "I am Aurelia, of the newly founded group known as The Lost Kin. Are you new here?" My honeyed tones echo slightly. I paused for a moment, waiting for a response before I continue. "I would ask you to join my band, but sadly, it is just me in this group. I have just begun this group, but I think it will do well." Sipping the air into my lungs, I wait for a moment so she she can process what I have said.
Was there any chance she would want to join me?
Success isn't the result of spontaneous combustion.
