Out with the old in with the new
Allana meets someone new
"Ok easy Allana, easy you don't wanna spook it" She thinks to her self as she draws her crudely made bow. Back straight, shoulders back she holds her breath as she takes aim. If she hits its chest she might miss the heart. The head would be better if the arrow goes right thu its eye she would be able to save the skin and trade it for coin. She's been holding the pose to long her arm starts to weaver, Taking another deep breath she lets go of the arrow and watches as it sails thru the air twords her target. "Bulls eye...literally aha" She says out loud as she picks up the rest of her arrows and walks over twords her prize.
Any of you ever hunt with a bow? The rush is AAAA-mazing lol. Cleaning and skinning was easy, messy but easy. I was out there for ohhh 2 years? My slave garments didn't last to long so for a while I walked around in my feral form because I didn't want to be nude.....then I relised well technically I am nude in feral n no one out here for miles any way so what the hell. Eventually I caught enough creatures to make clothing. Nothing special mind you but it did its job when I had to travel to the towns to trade what I had for coin. I was careful tho, because every now and then I would hear towns folk talk about the "pet that killed her master" Yes there were wanted posters but after a while those stopped showing up. And people forgot, as they did I became more adventurous and open with the town folk. Aha even made some friends who helped me become the master archer/hunter/and tracker I am today. But don't let that fool you. Because my collar is wielded on and I bear his mark on my arm I still had to be careful. Always wearing hoods and cloaks to hide them from praying eyes. I wouldn't even take resident in the towns I was content with sleeping out in the trees. "reaching for a smoke she relises the pack is empty. Allana sticks out her lower lip in a pout and stands". Well poo don't worry fuzz butts I'll be back.
"Shutting off the cam she leaves. 10 minuets pass before it is turned back on, the live stream back online" There we go sorry about that. Now where was I?.....hmm oh right. So over the course of 2 years I visited and saw many places met a lot of people. Eventually in the year 1740 I ended up in Paris, France. I guess there was a war going on something about Maria Theresa's succession. "she makes a what ever motion in the air with her paw her brow knited in thought" It was something like that I didnt pay to much attention. ANYWAY, I was in a new country where no one knew me or my dead master. Which means I was free to build a permanent home....or so I thought.
KNOCK KNOCK,"Bonjour? Toute personne de maison?.......KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! "Hello? Please?" Two o' clock in the morning the sound of knocking rings thru out Allana's little shack. Sitting up she groans and yells a hang on as she lights her bed side candle. "Juste une minute" once she reaches the door she looks out to see a tall broad figure in the rain, its head low. "Anglais?" she asks not opening the door, "oui" it responds, " Help me please I'm soaked to the bone and have been separated from my group". With a sigh she opens the door and ushers the fox in quickly closing the door behind him. Leading him to the only chair in the room she sits him down and moves to light the other candles.
"Thank you mademoiselle, What are you doing out here all alone?" The fox asks with a tilt of his head. Not saying anything Allana starts the fire and puts the pot on to make tea. She then stands on the other side of the room looking at him her arms crossed over her self holding her nightgown tight. The fox is tall and strong looking with short cut head fur. His colors are darker than a normal fox and reversed with the darkest being his underbelly and lightest the rest of his fur. Her eyes trail over his face looking him dead in his cystal blue eyes. A small scar on his muzzle. She continues to look him over until the tea is done an she serves it. "You may sleep here for the night, I'll feed you come sun up but then you must leave." She says with no emotion in her voice.
"But why Mademoiselle? My leg is hurt and I...." The fox goes on to say before Allana cuts him off. " I'll think about it, now sleep." With out another word she downs her glass of tea takes her candle n goes back to her bed. For caution she holds her knife under her pillow as she sleeps. When the sun rises and the rain stopped Allana wakes to find the man gone, looking around she shrugs and goes back to her room to make the bed and get dressed. As she's putting her top on she looks up out the window and screams jumping back. "AHHHH, THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" The fox quickly looks away his ears going down as he quickly mutters sorry he was just chopping wood to cook the rabbit he caught. Covering her breasts with her arm she slams the window shut and curses under her breath. Once fully dressed she puts her dagger in its sheath n goes into the main room only to find him bent over a roaring fire cooking the rabbit. "I'm so sorry about that Mademoiselle, it was an accident. Sit relax food will be ready soon. She sits and watches him.When the rabbit is done he gives her most of it and stands leaning against the wall eating his. "Look it seams we got off on the wrong paw, I'm sorry for waking you last night and for um...well yah."extending his paw" You can call me Richard, Richard Vasser and you are?" He looks at her with a questioning look on his face. "Allana...." she says. "Allana.......? Allana what?" She's never thought about that no one ever asked for her last name, with out thinking she blurts out her dead masters last name, "De-Luca,I'm Allana De-Luca."
He raises an eyebrow. "De-Luca?Are you related to that lord who died back in...oh where was it Italy? Big fat mean gurilla?" He asks. "No no relation, I'm sorry si.....Richard but you're mistaken" She says as she begins to fiddle with her tail. Does he know who she is? Did he know Master? Thoughts swim thru her head. When he speaks again she looks up at him "Fair enough". Is all he spoke. And left it at that.
