Leuxy

"I know I saw her run this way" I can hear my oldest brother Ushu's voice echoing off of the cave walls around me." WHY EVERY FUCKING TIME SHE RUNS INTO THIS JUNGLE, WE LOSE HER?!" 

His voice made the walls of the cave shake. Leuxy looked through a small opening she left behind, she couldn't bend the cave walls back into place because her three older brothers came running through the area. She didn't want them to hear the cracklings of earth being bent and twisted back into place and risk getting captured by them.

" Relax, Ushu, we'll find her," Baki, the youngest of the three, said. "She's not far, and it looks like she may have also cut herself." Kima, the second oldest, stepped into view holding a piece of cloth from Leuxy pants, where she had wounded her leg when she was trying to climb up the cliff to escape her siblings.

 "I can't pick up her scent. I have to admit she's gotten better at covering up her tracks," Baki chuckled. Leuxy stepped back from the opening in the wall to start her way through the dark cave. "LEUXY!. WE KNOW YOU ARE HERE WHEN WE FIND YOU. YOU'RE THROUGH!" Ushu yelled to Leuxy. 

She rolled her eyes and shook her head at his comment. Over the years, she has learned to slow her breathing and heartbeat to the point where she appears dead. With a family like hers, she had to learn how to survive and stay out of sight. 

Every day was a battle to make it through to the next day, just because she had been born the black sheep. While Leuxy walked, her mind wondered about past thoughts that just came rushing back from times of being left out in the middle of the jungle for weeks on end by her parents as a means to toughen or punish her. 

Because she purposely failed every obstacle training that was thrown at her. Leuxy knows this jungle inside and out. She knows where all the hidden passageways are, what tunnels lead here and there, and what areas in the jungle are safe. 

She even gets along well with all the Mystical creatures here, including the dangerous high-ranked creatures that no one dares to step foot near. Her entire family thinks that she's weak and can't defend herself, that she's just a regular human born into a supernatural family. It's not uncommon for a human to be born from a supernatural being; it's just scarce. 

She pretends to be frail to keep her people off her back on certain things because a human child can't do the same stuff they can, and that's just how she wants it. Because she's not fascinated with the warrior's lifestyle. 

Leuxy always found every life precious, no matter how bad someone or something may seem. She feels there's always a way to avoid ending life with cruelty because of a misunderstanding. Leuxy sighed and tried to shake the thoughts clear from her mind as she began to reach the end of the tunnel. She made the cave walls move out of her path, then stepped out onto a cliff.

 This passageway was one of her favorites; it leads to a beautiful area in the jungle. It led to a large area with trees as high as skyscrapers, multi-colored plants, and a giant roaring crystal clear waterfall that holds secret caverns underneath. 

Leuxy closed the opening before swiftly jumping off the cliff where she had been standing, enjoying the view. She landed on a tree branch down below. Before she could continue on her way down to the jungle floor, Leuxy senses something heading towards her and moving quickly. 

The minute she turned around to react, she was knocked off balance and began tumbling. She reached her hand out to grab a vine that wrapped around another tree brunch before she hit the ground. She quickly swung herself into a bush, landing on all fours. Leuxy started scouting out the area, fearing the worst that her brothers may have found her.
