I left the tent straight after Lucy and Susan. Susan's dress was a beautiful forest green while Lucy's was a pretty pale blue. Their hair was done in braids and curls and they looked gorgeous.
My dress was slightly different. The sleeves were long and yet didn't get in the way of things. The dress was a shimmering green with red fabric along the edges of the sleeves, neckline and the hood. The hood was the same green fabric as the dress. There was a golden and red belt that loosely went around my waist and then fell down the middle of the skirt.
My dark hair was dead straight and waterfall braids along the sides. I wore knee high brown leather boots and green lace fingerless gloves on my hands. I wore a ring showing a moon and sun, as well as a necklace showing the same thing. I had an ear broach attached to the side of my ear. My staff was strapped to my back and my bag left inside the tent with my book.
"You two look like mum," said Lucy as we walked towards the river. "Susan does I don't, I don't look a thing like mum," I remarked sadly. It had been a while since I thought about mum. I walked over to a nearby tree, next to where Susan put her horn on a chair and leaned my staff against it before joining back with them.
"Mum hasn't had a dress like this since before the war," said Susan. Lucy glanced up at us, "we should bring her one back. A whole trunk full!" I laughed and nodded, "good idea, Lu!" Susan didn't meet our eyes and kept staring into the water, "if we ever get back." I rolled my eyes and gave a small laugh, "way to kill the mood."
Lucy and I shared a look before sighing sadly at the realization and then back at Susan. "I'm sorry I'm like that," said Susan, "we used to have fun together, didn't we?" Lucy bit her lip and replied quietly, "yes." Then she glanced up at me with a cheeky grin and said to Susan, "before you got boring." Lucy and I began laughing and Susan gave us a mock glare.
"Oh, really?" she asked. I could see the twinkle in her eye saying she was up to something. Suddenly she ducked down towards the water and splashed us! This causing us to cry out with shock. This continued with us going back and forth splashing each other and having the most fun we had had in years, just spending some time together as sisters.
Eventually, we made our way out of the water and headed for the towel that hung of a nearby tree. Susan reached it first and reached out to grab. But when she pulled it off the branch it showed a very unwelcome sight.
Maugrim.
We each gave a scream of fright as Maugrim stepped towards us, "please don't try to run. We're tired and we'd prefer to kill you quickly." We looked around, trying to figure a way out this situation. We all spotted Susan's horn. Quickly Susan threw the towel she had in her hand at Maugrim, I looked to the other wolf and my eyes flashed gold and he flew back.
Susan raced towards her horn while I grabbed Lucy and darted towards a tree. We practically flew up with Susan following. She gave the horn a loud and hard blow of air. A loud sonorous sound rang out throughout the camp.
