A growing child, and growing more in confidence she scampered from the familiar dwelling of home to the pack's source of water to explore on her own.

The sun's light had been in this part of the wood for a time, and there was a bounce in her stride, even though her legs had kindly grew longer now, there was something about skipping rather than walking that was more fun, and seemed like it made her go faster she couldn't resist. A quick rhythem she continued, her large ears directed to the source of the trinkling water.

The young Lyall knew there was a lot of things wrong in her life. She really shouldn't have noticed in fact, as she had no real way of knowing what was normal. Father gone, and Prosper never coming back things didn't seem okay The adults fussed over their safety, eating, and her mother just didn't appear quite as happy as she once had. She often did not understand why a parent, and sibling had vanished into thin air. She had heard Kiche talk about a superior being. She never did really wrap her head around that. She always felt something was out there, but it couldn't be evil could it? It wanted to help them shouldn't it?

White tail swung in sync with her hips, and she halted at the large rocks which encircled the pool. She stared into the coppery, brown bottom silently making a wish things would be good. Kiche, and Aisling had returned after all, why not Father, why not Prosper?

sorry for the wait, life wouldn't let me go..

Golden, and red leaves swirled on top of the water. She stared at them too, remembering what Mom had said about the leaves changing, and falling. She sorta supposed that's why this time of year was called fall, but hadn't asked, preffering her own answer for it. She scooted her hips closer together, and leaned a littler closer debating on getting a drink. Everyone was worried about food, and she knew it was getting colder she wondered how the cold would affect the water.She'd been told winter was coming, but wasn't sure if she'd like it. It didn't sound like something wonderful, just a tawdry trick of nature.

First when she heard steps she assumed it to be a brother, or sister. She was evidently surprised to hear Aisling instead, and head jerked to the side to see her. She had not expected her to be right there, nor her question, and she jumped slightly startled; her triangle ponits twisted back on her hea., "Oh, just da leafs." She answered, a smile coming so natural curving her lips. She'd realized Aisling was different than before, her first memories of her were good things, and Arlette had not really pondered the difference nor if it really mattered. Things were always changing. Eyes stare into the more golden pair of the creamy wolf for a second, and casually she looks back to the inanimate objects.

"Aislin', do ou like sno?" She asked hesitantly, wanting to get a better opinion on the subject.

frankie, you can powerplay if you need too.
Aisling voice sounded different, and her head titled slightly while her white brows touched. She wasn't sure, but it kinda scared her, and she wanted to ask what the matter was. She held her tongue, because talking wasn't exactly her strong point. Maybe it was rude of her to ask such a thing, mother was teaching her some things were not polite. She was just on the point between controlling her urge to ask, and understanding it might upset someone.

Before she had to much time to worry, Aisling answered her first question. Lettie's large ears were cupped forward, never thinking that the snow might help her hide better. This made her smile again, though when she looked back to the white wolf she did not have good feelings about the smile on her lips. The girl was again not sure why. She liked Aisling, Aisling was nice. She shouldn't have to worry should she? She tried to look away, and managed for a second until Aisling pushed the question back at her. "I," she started, when she looked back she saw teeth. Elettra had taught her what that meant, and she jumped once more her back to the water now. "I, a " she struggled because now she was scared. What had she done?

xD okay all that ooc made me laugh. Any way, okay Frankie I just wasn't sure what you had in mind, and didn't want to make it harder...wotm so fits this, kinda weird.

Her muscles were stiff knots, her bones felt like heavy stone. She wanted to run, everything inside her screamed to run. Could she? No, she was frozen by fear, because she'd never thought Aisling was one of those scary wolves, nuh uh. One second she saw her own fear mirrored in blond face, and next she some some berserk stranger, she was certain wanted to eat her. A single second she closed her eyes, the cream wolf grabbing hold of her. Again she wanted to yelp for help, anything, but her jaws would not even open. She was a prison to her fear, and now to Aisling.

Her body bound tight, she didn't struggle because she couldn't. The cold water didn't help, and she only quivered both with fear, and the lack of heat. She could feel Aisling's grip, and once more tried to make her body work. She was just a helpless lump, and closed her eyes praying that someone would come by. When Aisling spoke, she opened her eyes, trying to look into the amber colored orbs. "Pease,"she softly spoke, wondering why she was doing this. It was too late, the weight was on her back, and she was being submerged into the pool. When she could not hold her breath any longer her instincts did finally kick in, and she started to squirm, pushing hard trying to get her head above water, bubbles ejecting out of her nose.

First she thought she was going to die. Though she might not have been in the water very long, it seemed like forever. Her nose was starting to burn, but suddenly the weight was gone. Her body now, no longer forced floated with ease to the surface. She tried to breath, but was coughing, spluttering water from her lips when her face finally broke the surface. She had no idea how to swim, not really. She didn't really think about that part, she started moving her legs like she was running. Soon she was at least managing to keep her head above the water. She tried to feel the bottom, but had no idea where it was. She was a little scared to find out.

White lids blinking she tried to blink out the water because it stung. She took a deep breath once her lungs wer clear. First she did not see Aisling in the pool, and quickly her moonlit eyes tried to find where she had went. She saw a blond figure outside the pool, and she wanted to yell for mother, or Elettra, or even Trisden. When she thought that might make it worse she kept quiet. Maybe Aisling would go. Then again.... she started to panic waiting for her to come back upon her. Then she heard no over, and over, and the terrible sound of pain. The child was tore between asking for help, and trying to swim on her own. "Aislin, pease!" she barked unsure how to get out of the pool, and fearful she might not ever.
