<span style="color: #FF00FF">She glanced over at the girl who smelled like her, that was until she smelled the stew. She looked down to see her stew and her tea and licked her lips. She picked up the spoon and began eating. Not long after her bowl and cup where empty and her stomach was full and happy. She got up paying for a room and took the key, then headed toward the stairs passing the girl but didn't look at her and headed up the stairs.<br/></span><br/>The warmth from the fire soon had her bones and joints all lose and she was ready to fall asleep. Or so anyone would think if they took one look at her. She kept her eyes opened only a sliver to keep an eye on the other she wolf. With her attempts to be secret she had to shoo the bar keeper away several times before she was ready to take her leave. The sweet scent of the other female soon passed her and she quickly got to her feet and soundlessly followed. Anya knew how to track and knew to keep her distance when stalking her prey. Her feet made no sound as she followed up the rickety stairs. She was about to turn the corner up ahead when she hurt the slight jingle of someone fumbling with a key lock. Once it was pried away from the door frame. She sprang, hoping to catch the female unaware and to pin her against the wall.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">Slowly she put the key in the lock turning it and heard the click and took it out. She opened the door slowly and smiled and stepped in. However, that smile faded and she was suddenly against the wall. She yelped at the impact and whined a a little trying to get free from her captor's hold.<br/></span><br/>Her elbow dug deeply into the girls back as a snarl emerged from her throat. "What pack are you from!?" She asked. "If they think I will be tricked by a pretty face they are wrong! Now who are you, and who sent you!" She demanded while digging her elbow a little deeper to add emphasis that she meant business.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">She heard the growl and whined in pain of the elbow that was digging into her back, "I am not from a pack!" She shirked. "I...I...I was never ever in pack." She said in a slightly temple in her voice and the pain grew more and more intense, "Leme go!" She said, struggling a bit more to get free despite the pain....that was still getting more intense.</span><br/><br/>A final growl emerged from Anya but then she quickly moved away, freeing the girl from her embrace. "Fine, if youâ€™re not in a pack then who are you, and why are you here?" She said simply while crossing her arms over her breasts.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">Once she was let go Taylor spun around quick sending her blonde hair over her shoulder as she moved away from her keeping her back against the wall. "My name is Taylor and I left my home town after my best friend died and am looking to start a life of my own, not get into trouble." She told her trying to act brave...not like an alpha just brave.</span><br/><br/>Anya's cold emerald green eyes flashed a cold ice blue as she looked the girl up and down. Her feet began to move but her gaze never wavered. "I see..." She said still thinking what she said over in her head. It was rather odd to find a lone young wolf, let alone one this pretty. It would of been rather easy for her to of found a pack willing to take her in, maybe she was a newly turned and had no idea how to look for one. Cocking her head to the side she let out a breath she had been holding. "So if your not from a pack, were you looking for one?" She asked wondering if she was looking for one in town, perhaps she had heard of one.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">She watched and listened to her a bit scared and thought about jumping out the closed window but that had many downsides to it. "She shrugged. Never been in one so don't know what I'm missing, I just wanted to pave my own path." She said honestly. Her pack was a two man pack, her and her best friend but she was dead so she was all alone and trying to find her way. Though she wondered why this wolf cared, "Why?" She asked.</span><br/><br/>Her shoulders lifted and fell into a shrug. "Nothing really, just curious if you had heard of a pack in this area that I wasn't aware of. I've been in this region for a lil over a month now, and will be damned if I'ma stay in town with a pack near by...I don't need to be tracked.." She said her vision looking towards the window, staring out at the woods and the waning moon. "How new are you?" She asked, her voice carrying the monotone pitch.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">she listened to her, was she suppose to be in a 'real' pack. She wasn't quite sure. She sighed and put the key she realized she was still holding on the dresser near her and thought before speaking. "Just arrived today....was just going to pass through when the rain began to fall and then got harder and wasn't sure where I was going. Saw the building and decided to just wait out the rain." She told her and really wanted to sit down but didn't dare move yet.</span><br/><br/>A small chuckle emerged from Anya and it had to of been the most real emotion she felt in awhile. "No. I meant how new of a wolf are you? A month? A year? How long since you turned?" She asked. This girl was funny, and slightly ditsy but, maybe she was who she said she was and Anya might possibly have a companion finally.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">"Oh...hehe right." She said blushing a little. "Only two months." She told her tucking her hair behind her ear. "I never had any like me in my home town...my best friend was a human but..she died. So I left to find my own life." She said looking down.</span><br/><br/>Her words made Anya look at the girl, sympathy in her eyes as the emotions from the girl rode rather hard and she could feel them as if they were her own. She had to take a few breaths before she recovered and had her own emotions back. "I see. Well then I am sorry. I know it can be a hard thing... Are you handling the adjustment well?" She asked then shook her head. "I'm sorry, where are my manners. My name is Anya." She held out her hand in a friendly manner and waited for the other wolf to grasp it.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">She let out a light sigh, she still missed her friend. Upon hearing the women's voice she looked up at her and nodded. "I'm handling it the best I can and I know how...away from everyone." She said before hearing her name and looked at her hand and hesitating just a bit before she gave extended her own hand and shook her head, "Taylor, but I told you that already." She told her with a small smile on her face, "It's a pleasure to meet you Anya." She responded.<br/></span><br/>"Like wise." she said then went towards the door. "Well I guess I better let you get sleep." She went to leave then stopped and turned around, "You don't have to live away from your own kind...I could help you...if you would like...I'm two rooms down..You can find me if you want." She said then departed and went to her own bedroom.
