Swift legs. Clicking hooves. Rustling of leaves and roots. Gentle twists and turns. Sounds reaching her ears and causing her to shudder. Muscles trembling and aching as she inched forward with fear in her system. There were too many threatening noises. Too many things that were making her go crazy. A shift in direction, a leap forward. An attempt to flee from the noises. So overwhelming. In fact, she didn't even know how long she'd been running for. But it had been too long and her stamina was depleting. Though, she didn't want to stop. The wolves can't catch me. They'll kill me... Except for the little fact that there were no wolves... No lupine or predatory creatures to attack her. At least, not that close to her. Not that she could sense.

So why was she freaking out? Why did she have to run. It was simply because of the memories that plagued her mind. The memories that didn't want to leave. The memories that hated her. The memories that tried to hurt her. The memories that had her scared and ruined. The memories that had caused her to be so etched into her old character. The character that couldn't will herself to stand still for very long. So a swift kick up and she bolted until she had run down almost into the water. Dropping her haunches and coming to a sliding stop she pulled her legs up until she was protected against tumbling into the water. Ragged breathing looking at the clear liquid as she watched her one ear move. Watching her sides heave in and out. Watching her hair as the last centimeters of her curling tendrils brushed against the top of the water in an intricate dance that no one could ever mimic. A soft sigh caused the water to ripple away before she raised her maw and peered around at the trees leering over the water as the sun reflected over them causing curling designs to appear on them. So interesting, so delicate. So... not scary. She inched closer to them, touching the design before shaking her head at her silliness. Then, she returned to the edge of the water, sucking in the cooling liquid and taking care of her parched throat and relaxing her now aching muscles from the long run she had just gone on. A long run for the most stupid reasons. But, now, she was too exhausted to really care...
