Spectral Woods A stage of fear and self-doubt

@Nathaniel

Light snow
19 ° F, -7 ° C

South seemed a much safer direction after the disastrous attempt in the cedar forest. After several days to nurse her wounds and several days to get used to having semi-regular companionship, Noble retreated back into the Oak forest. The snow was coming early and she felt far differently about it's arrival this year. Last year it had been a game, everything had been a game. Up until she'd become lost in the sudden snowstorm, that is.

Oh, how quickly everything had changed.

She hurried, but there was no where to go. There was no escape this winter, no safe place to go, no family to reassure her. All she had was the relative familiarity of the oak forest. It was easy to put on a brave front before Rory, but there were cracks in her soul and the cold flakes were finding their way inside. The girl shook her head angrily, defiantly fighting back a shiver. She couldn't be like this, she wasn't like this! Hadn't she told @Darrah it didn't matter?

A crooning growl forced past her lips as she sought out a suitable place for the two girls to weather out the storm. Hopefully she was far enough ahead of the Thanne girl to pull herself together, before @Rory caught back up to her. "This is ridiculous..." she muttered to herself.
