[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

you laugh and smile at me, but you don't see a thing !

The strange amount of blood in the air was concerning, to say the very least, and Atbash tried to find its source as quickly as possible, her heart pounding in her chest as she ran. It was strong, very very strong, and that only made the Shaderunner more nervous. Unfortunately for her, she hadn't arrived in time and by the time she did get there, Seven had already bled to death - along with the stranger next to her.

Atbash's throat tightened, unsure at the moment if both Seven and the intruder was dead and as she gained her composure, the savannah came closer. She sniffed the body of Seven's father to determine if he was a Tangler or not, before she tried to nudge Seven awake. Atbash grit her teeth knowing Seven likely won't react but still, she tried to get the tigress to wake up.

Finally accepting that Seven wasn't going to react to her, Atbash swallowed her fear down and tried to grab what was left of Seven's scruff and tried to drag her back to camp as much as possible. Of course, the she-cat was far too small to be making much progress, but at the very least she was moving Seven away from her murderer. "I need help," She tried to call out telepathically to her clanmates. "Someone's dead..." Atbash felt bad for not knowing her own clanmate's name, but her and Seven had never met before.

But hopefully someone would come by to help and Atbash wouldn't be stuck in such an awkward state.
