Loretta was still fast asleep, quite a heavy sleeper really. She still remained curled up where she had been before, having finally fallen asleep late because of her shifting around on the scratchy, uncomfortable ground of the cave. A couple slight scratches marked her arms, but they soon healed up again. Her sleep wasn't exactly peaceful though. The thoughts from everything that happened the night before brought on nightmares and horrible dreams. But she managed to stay still and silent. Able to hide the torture her mind was going through while she slept.<br/><br/>The girl continued to sleep for a while longer. She ended up waking after Alder and Konrad, as well as some of the pack, had left to hunt. Sleepily yawning, Loretta sat up and looked around. Still in the cave. 'Okay, so none of last night was a dream.' She thought, sighing. She had partially hoped that all that had happened before had been her imagination and fear playing dirty tricks on her. But this proved that it had been obvious reality. Unbelievable and nearly impossible reality, but truth nonetheless. She got to her feet, walking over towards the opening of the cave and looking around in the dull morning light. Everything looked so peaceful and calm.<br/><br/>A small rabbit hopped past her feet, but seemed to stop and look up at Loretta. A tilt of it's head, its whiskers twitching. The girl looked down at it and slowly knelt in front of it, careful not to scare it off. The bunny stuck around, letting her stroke its fur and eventually pick it up into her arms. She'd seen how dogs acted around rabbits, they were nothing but chew toys to them; she at least wanted something to do... and besides, the rabbit reminded her of her pet bunny she'd had back at home. Another pang of homesickness hit her, but she ignored it as she went back to her spot in the cave.<br/><br/>Gently placing the small animal in her lap, Loretta smiled as she stroked the rabbit's fur. She hoped none of the werewolves caught its scent and decided to try to turn it into breakfast just yet... perhaps most of them were still asleep? Glancing around the darkness of the cave told her that guess was incorrect. Part of the pack was gone from where they had been before, including Konrad and Alder too. 'Perhaps another attack?' She thought, worried. The girl hated fighting, absolutely hated the thought of having to hurt someone else even if it was self-defense. She wasn't the kind for bloodshed and war.<br/><br/>Loretta continued to brush her fingers through the bunny's soft fur. The wistful look in her eyes was plain and obvious, though her small smile was full of happiness. She was a real animal lover and had a soft spot for animals such as this little rabbit. She often tried to help out wild animals whenever she was out here in the forest. Rabbits, foxes, deer... she could have sworn there had been an injured wolf she had helped too. But of course she had helped them with medicines and concoctions that she had learned from her mother. Her mother was a healer, she helped get the townspeople back on their feet after they are injured or sick. Yet another bittersweet memory brought back by the little animal she held in her lap.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œLoretta.â€</span><br/><br/>Loretta turned her head towards the call of her name. The rabbit suddenly struggled in her lap, but she gently hushed it, trying to keep it calm. It obviously didn't like werewolves being too close; then again, when a tiny little animal like that was considered nothing but food to them and had learned as such, it was natural instincts.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œBreakfast will be served whenever the food is fully cooked. I just thought Iâ€™d let you know. Iâ€™m sure Konrad wonâ€™t let you starveâ€¦ I mean I could always talk to him if he does decide to, but I doubt he will. He keeps the pack pretty well fed.â€</span>"I'll be right out." She replied quietly, not knowing if anyone was still asleep. She straightened up with the startled bunny held in her arms. "Shh, shh, it's okay little one. Don't be scared." She whispered to the rabbit, treating it as if it were a child. She turned her gaze back to Alder, a smile quirking her lips.
