Loretta wasn't like 'most people'... or almost all people really. The discard of nature, the destruction of such wonderful beauty that for once was not man-made, was completely against what she believed in herself. She loved the forest and nature; it had been so long since she had gotten water from the fresh spring; being a hunter and often wandering out into the woods during the day, she would sometimes go the fresh spring to drink. What little food her family had was grown themselves in their own backyard, the animals raised by hand. Rarely did they ever have meat though... it had been, almost a vegetarian lifestyle to her. Not that it mattered or bothered her any. She didn't like thinking that her hunger had caused the death of another living creature.<br/><br/>Loretta turned her head towards Alder as he spoke that simple, one word answer to what she had said before.<span style="font-style: italic"> Oh.</span>A silenced hush fell over both of them, and it was a bit unnerving for her. But she pushed it aside, looking out towards the entrance of the cave. Spots of moonlight managed to sneak in through the branches of the trees,and Loretta could see some of the sparkling silver light through the darkness.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œYou know, a witch attacked the pack once. I was still a lot younger than I am now at the time, but I still remember it as clear as day. She was powerful enough to pose as a werewolf and trick Konrad into making her his Alpha female.â€</span>She turned her head towards Alder again. She was shocked and caught off guard. "I had no idea... that's terrible." She whispered. "I wonder why your father didn't just kill me right off then. He constantly brings up the thought that I am a witch. Not that I mean anyone harm, because I would never do something like that... and besides, I really don't know how healing can be used as a bad thing." For all she knew, her healing abilities were the only power she had. Witches had much more than that. Could do much more than that.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œLook, I know you just woke up and all, but why donâ€™t we all get some rest? Breakfast is usually early so be up as soon as you can. If Konrad has allowed you to eat dinner he might let you eat breakfast, assuming there is breakfast.â€</span><br/><br/>Loretta nodded and managed a small smile. "Goodnight, Alder." She whispered softly as he walked off. She laid against the wall a bit, but mostly curled up into a ball like a kitten would do. It was very uncomfortable, but she knew she'd have to get used to it. It would be a long time before things changed. She could adapt quickly to change anyways... but despite how calm and cooperative she was acting, Loretta was still a bit edgy and scared. This was still new to her, her fate was undecided, and who knows what could happen to her? The girl pushed the troubling thoughts aside and let her eyes close. After a little bit she was fast asleep.
