Pt. 1
Silent footsteps heard as she made her way over the leaf littered forest floor towards the ancient boardwalk. Those ardent embers of forest glen green peered through thick golden-flecked lashes as they wandered about in mild disarray. Pale strands of light filtered down through the tree's dark canopy to play over satin smooth skin, as the stars shone brightly like tiny diamonds cast upon a midnight velvet canvas. The night was cool this evening as she felt a slight breeze shift from the North to the South and billow in her direction, sending shivers of ice about the delicate arch of her spine. The tiny hairs at the nape of her slender neck turning upwards in silent greeting of the nights dark embrace.
The rustling of the dry leaves and the sound of booted feet marching on the wooden walk...wait...booted feet marching on the walk? She hadn't reached the walk as of yet, so who could it be? Her mind was racing in many directions at once as she paused in her journey back to camp. That lithe form came to a halt suddenly as she strained to listen. The breeze stirred those cinnamon colored tresses and sending glossy tendrils of silk about the soft arch of her cheek. Her expression was one of deep endowing thought when those long lashes covered glowing hues of jade when she tried to concentrate on the sounds echoing around her.
There, she heard it, marching, and with it the faint murmurs of male voices reverberating throughout the shadows of the glades "Who must it be?" she asked herself, no one was supposed to be out this time of night. No one else was at the campsite except her. Those lush lashes fluttered open as she took in a breath of the heady forest scents mixed with that of her floral perfume. Turning her form in the direction of the noises before taking one idle step towards the walkway before she heard it.
Breathing, deep ragged breathing, behind her, definitely nothing of the human sort as it seemed to gasp in breath after breath. It sounded like that of a horse who was suffering from broken wind. "Yes, that was It." she thought as she placed the exact sound. Her body was frozen stock still for fear of movement, like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car. Her own breath lodged in the deep recesses of her throat. A deep chill went all the way down to her bones, filling them with their glacial coldness as she closed her eyes yet again. She took one deep courage gathering breath before spinning around towards the sound, pivoting on those tiny feet.
