✯ — THE GROWN UPS TAUGHT ME TO WATCH AND LEARN

it was a lonely affair, her adopted father's funeral. she had sat with the rest, of course, hidden in her sibling's shadow as they had sat vigil and buried the marauder. but now, somehow he was back, and the young teen was thrown into confusion about her loyalties with the visit of a family member.

sitting at her ma's grave, she nosed the headstone, pretending as if she could still smell his scent. a half sob leaving her, the girl curled up beside the grave, head and paws laying on the dirt, "i miss you mom. auntie visited bai ... and i'm so confused. kydobi came back from the dead, why can't you? i wish that you could ... i'm so alone here. i'm just underfoot all the time, and i can't fight as the knight that uncle taught me to be. i don't got any friends and i miss helios and dad. everyone's too busy and ky ... ky is distant.
he's got kids of his own now. i'm nearly grown up now but .. he was my pa. is it wrong to miss him smiling at me and teaching me things?" she sighed, eyes closed as she cried silently.

some time later, she woke to the soft rumble of a wild animal, her pelt spiking in alarm as she looked around, looking for the source of danger. oh no! my sword is back in camp and i'm outside the territory! she thought in panic as she snatched up the closest stick into her jaws, legs trembling from fear before cooling her panicking thoughts, remembering what she was taught. spreading her legs and locking them into a stance, she snarled back at the feral animal circling her.  "come at me, then!" she challenged bravely, ears flat to her skull. she didn't know if this beast was friend or foe, or even if it was her imagination.

moments later when teeth snapped shut into her ear andtore away, her scream of pain echoing through the empty oasis that served as her ma's grave. lashing out blindly, she huffed and jabbed, trying to drive the monster away with her feeble stick. catching a lucky break as the beast lashed down across her shoulders and spine, she surged into the bloody contact. a mere jagged chunk of her stick remained in her jaws as she thrust her jaws to the beasts chest, blood dripping from her snout as the beast collapsed and fell into the grips of death.

staggering away she slumped down and began to cry, hard and loud. she was scared, so very scared and alone in thedeep, cold night of the desert. "kydobi! someone! anyone ..." her voice shattered as she crouched down, bloody paws over her stinging muzzle, tail close and protecting her belly, praying that someone would come find her before more of the lithe beasts found her.

feral desert/sand cat was what attacked, sand cat has rabies so injuries are of concern(should be taken to a healer) and she couldnt tell what she fought, just that it seemed bigger than she was //
