Darkness overwhelmed the corners of her vision, blobs dancing in and out. Although it was very tempting to give into unconsciousness, she jolted awake at the arrival of someone, able to vaguely see their paws through the shadows. They spoke quietly to her, a female it seemed by the voice, but despite their calming tone she still found her heart beating rapidly in her rib cage. She didn't know this person, or their intentions. They may have said one thing, but they could mean to do something entirely different. A lot of people weren't honest, and that was one thing she had learned early on.
Despite the fear gripping her chest, Cosette allowed the other to drag her, her body going limp in submission. She was thankful for the shade, though, the gurgle of a nearby stream making her perk up some. But she remained frozen, unsure whether to move or not. Her doubts were only encouraged when more people showed up, wincing at one of their comments about her unpreparedness. She would have brought resources if she had even planned on coming through the desert. Unfortunately, she hadn't originally planned on it, as she had been in quite a hurry beforehand.
The female didn't have much time to think about it, though, when someone else approached. This one caught her attention right off the bat. Another one of her kind. The only time she had seen someone like her was when she and her family were still together. This guy rung a lot of bells inside her head, and yet she couldn't place a paw on it. When he shook her, she grew stiff, but urged herself to relax.
"I-I'm not asleep," she says simply, though she didn't make an effort to move. "But you do look..familiar,"
