Some resist the future, some refuse the past

Calling my lovely @Ceres <3

---

There was something about the silence tonight, something that soothed her agitated soul in a way that few things did. It had never been this bad back in Cordova, back when she had the choice to stay in her wolf form or not. And it was just that, wasn’t it? She had had the choice then, where she did not now. Perhaps that was why she was constantly on edge here, constantly irritable, and perpetually in a bad mood.

Alina did not like having her choices taken away from her. Still, the pale wraith had not found a fix for it all, and did not expect that she would. For now, the once-werewolf would have to simply grin and bear it; something she was decidedly not good at.

Quietly, she moved through the forest to the north of the Reach, mouth set in its usual frown. Hunger clawed at her belly, driving her to do something other than wander around aimlessly. She had caught scent of a rabbit warren somewhere here before and had decided to track it down again for a relatively easy meal.

An ear flickered at the rumble, her paws drawing to a stop as her eyes rolled. Here we go, again. Another idiot who thought they were big and bad, who thought they'd throw around their weight and show her who was boss.

Breath unfurled from her nostrils as she snorted, head turning to eye the other woman with a garnet glint. There was no emotion to her expression, save for annoyance. Tail flickered in her agitation, the animals of the forest seeming to quiet around the of them.

“What.”

She snorted again, this time in sour amusement. “Sure I do. We’re in hell.” Because where else would she end up except for some stupid place where she couldn’t even shift.

But still, she didn’t want to deal with the annoying questions that would follow her statement. She could hear them now: What do you mean? how’d I end up here? What did I do do wrong?

“There’s a pack to the south. Avoid it.” Because fuck you, Vengeance. She wasn’t going to recruit for your silly-ass-named pack.

Why.

If she could have rolled her eyes far enough to see the back of her skull she would have. Why why why. No one could just take advice without questioning it anymore, could they? The spectre had half a mind to just walk away and not even bother answering. It would have been par for the course with her. And yet, she knew that the rest of the Nightwalkers would not be so kind when it came to her warning to stay away. She knew what some of them were capable of.

“Because they’re a bunch of assholes,” Alina sniped, not caring that she was being rude or that she smelled like them. She was an asshole too, so did it really even matter? No.

“That reason enough for you?” Rhetorical, maybe. Or maybe not. Her paws began to move to turn her away.

She groaned, rolling her eyes as she spoke, mostly to herself. “Christ, you're one of those.” And that quickly, the pale wraith sought to detach from this interaction; she turned and began to walk away, intent on searching for her meal once more.

“Enjoy your asshole meeting.” Her voice increased in volume, her intention for her voice to carry up and over her shoulder. A parting shot.

“Then maybe,” She snapped. “You should go the fuck away.” And yet, there was no move to chase her away. If asked, she’d say it was because she expected the girl to listen. But did she?
