Running through the forest of Jura, a five year old girl continued to run to where her legs take her not stopping sooner or later. The white clothing she had barely fit her small figure, her long dark red hair swaying in the air in every movement she made. Her black tail swaying behind her as her mouth hangs open, breathing heavily but continues to run.

She jumped, dodging trees that were laying on the ground as she ran. Soon, she made it out of a clearing and she was able to see the glimmering river that glimmered under the glowing full moon. She stopped running, breathing heavily before looking at the river. Her expression was blank but the sparkles in her ocean blue eyes could be told that she was in awe at the glimmering river.

Taking small steps, her feet touching the rocks in the ground, she walked towards the water, she crouched down and dipped her small pale hand onto the cold water. Her tail swayed behind her as she continued to play with the water until she saw her reflection on the water. She had gotten a better view of how she looked now. Her dull blue eyes widened in surprise as she lifted a hand to touch her cheek as she studied her reflection before her.

Small black horns at the top of her head poking out under her long dark red hair that reached to her hip. Her dull ocean blue eyes staring back at her from the reflection of her. She touched her reflection with her small hand in curiosity before a yawn escaped her mouth while rubbing her eyes with her hand. Deciding that it was time to rest, she stood from her crouching position and looked around her area before spotting a tree with a hole.

She made her way towards the hole, looking inside before confirming that it was safe. She slid in, making herself comfortable before curling into a small ball, closing her eyes, letting her exhaustion catch up to her. Deciding that tomorrow, she'll follow along the river.

The next day came, and the girl was up awake early, as the sun rose from the horizon, painting the sky a soft orange colour. She couldn't help but stare at the sky in awe, her dull eyes sparkling with life in a second before going back to dull. She started her day walking, following along the river, hoping to find somewhere to stay.

While walking along the river, she collects fruits nearby and makes a small yet perfect pouch out of big leafs to store her collected fruit, dragging it behind her. She did encounter a few smaller animals but she pretty much ignores them as she walks by. Sometimes, she would scratch her bandages, trying to get rid of the itchy feeling on her skin underneath them and sometimes coming to a stop to either rest or eat and drink water.

She continued to walk along the river, high alert to her surroundings, while also listening to the sound of nature. The sound of the rushing water in the river, the sound of rustling leaves, the sound of wind, she felt free once again. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, only to smell the familiar scent of blood.

She opened her eyes and looked around, sniffing the air with her nose, trying to find where the smell of blood was coming from. Once she caught the direction of the scent, she immediately started running towards it in full speed. She ran fast, but her feet was silent as she run. She followed the scent of blood, sniffing the air.

The scent of blood was also forwarded in her direction, following the river. She picked up her pace, jumping through big rocks along the way and soon, the scent of blood got more stronger. Looking forward, she saw what some sort of a white furred animal laying down near the river and a pool blood beneath the animal.

She slowed down once she got close enough and walked towards it. She studied the animal Infront of her in curiosity. Her dull blue eyes scanning through the body before laying her eyes on a arrow on the animal's abdomen. She moved her eyes back to the head of the animal to see it's mouth and due to the body. She assumed that it was a canine a fairly big one but she doesn't know what kind of canine.

Moving her attention to the arrow, she slowly made her way towards the arrow. She clutched the arrow in both of her hands before looking back at the sleeping closed eyes of the white furred canine before pulling out the arrow quickly and threw it away and put both of her hands on the wound, closing her eyes and immediately began to heal the canine.

The white furred canine, open it's eyes, revealing yellow orbs that glimmer under the sun. It woke up when it felt the pain to where her wound was until she felt the pain began to fade which confused her but she felt warm small hands on her wounds making her lift her head looking over to where the feeling of warmth was. She was surprised when she saw a child but not a normal one but it's still a child.

She continued to watch the little girl heal her wound in silence while studying the little girl's appearance from her dark shade of red hair, to her face, and then bandages on the girl's arms and legs which confused the canine but stayed silent and watched her with her yellow eyes.

The little girl opened her eyes, revealing her dull blue orbs. She retracted her hands from the wound to see it healed completely. She was breathing heavily and attempted to stand up only to fall backwards and lay on her back, surprising the canine. She forgot when she heals someone it takes a lot of her energy which made her mad internally.

The white furred canine slowly stood on her four paws and stood over the girl, watching her slowly closed her eyes, letting exhaustion come upon her. The canine stared at the girl before slowly layed herself around her, nuzzling the girl to her warmth of her body, which the little girl responds by burying her head to the white fur. The eyes of the canine scanned their surroundings before laying its head down, closing her eyes and slept with the girl beside her.
