The snarling wasn't like a normal sound. It gurgled, almost as if the creature was choking on it's own blood. It smelt awful too. Sickly sweet in the back of her mouth. Rotting flesh. It's green eyes hid greed, greed for the blood it was taking. That was why she had run. And never stopped. Not until she could run no more.
Her journey here was rough. The poor girl had learnt the hard way that some folks weren't kind enough to bother with her. She also learnt that some were mean enough to bully and abuse her. She had only met one nice person on her trip to where ever she was now. A tortoise. She had received a gift from the old, motherly creature.
She was worn thin. The pelt ( a rather pretty one at that: tan for the most part with rosy splotches where darker, blood red tabby markings resided. They didn't show any where else except at these rosy parts ) that once gave off a well cared for sheen was now greasy and dull, very poorly taken of. A few twigs and leaves clung to this pelt, revealing that she had traveled through many forests. She was skinny as well; her hips poked painfully out, spine and ribs able to be spotted even with her long coat. In some spots were painful sores, mostly where her bones poked out at. There was one on her hip, which made it hard to walk as she favored her left hind leg. Behind her was a little blood trail, left only by her paw pads. She was small as well, young, no more than seven moons. Yet, in the pools of those wonderful green eyes, you could tell she had seen more than what she should've. And, if you looked between those eyes, just above her nose she sported a colorful green-blue band aid.
The scent of a border stopped her right there, her head not even lifting as the bagged eyes looked up. Finally, she retreated heavily onto her haunches, left hind sticking out a bit as it was painful to sit fully on. Her head hung a bit more, ears drooping before at last she lifted her heavy head. This was only to keep a look out. She had no intentions of speaking. Not yet. She had to find out of these folks were friendly or not. Besides, her Pa and Ma always told her it was rude to go about screaming in other people's homes.
