Coat clung tightly to her bones from the heavy moisture. She was trying to figure out west from east, but it didn't matter, she couldn't tell. All she could see was the looming woods in the distance, her one chance to get out of the pelting cold. She took it, trying to hasten her pace, stretch her long legs to shorten the gap. A flash of more light shot across the sky, and was followed by another booming crack. Just lovely. She did not pause to look behind her, knowing well the storm was closing in. She counted in her mind each step, until finally she made it into the dense thicket. Eyes could focus against the drops as they weren't so dramatic beneath the leafy canopies. She needed to find shelter, somewhere to dry her coat least she catch cold. A hesitant walk she spotted something familiar and remembered there was a den around. Where were the rocks that lined it? A little faster she kept a sharp eye for the formation, when she saw it nesteled between two large trees. Poking her head inside it smelled vacant, and was more roomy than she needed. It would do the job she needed. Climbing in she made sure by touch she was alone till she hudled down, and fiercly stared trying to dry her coat in the deep shadows.
