15 days....<br/><br/>It had been 15 days since her last encounter with the black wolf that haunted her nightmares. 15 days of constant wandering from forest to forest to stay away from peope and possible harming them.. Or them harming her......<br/><br/>Selena sneezed for the upteenth time that day as she made her way through a new wooded area. She had seen smoke in the distance when she had been traversing the mountain that sat a day or twos walk behind her. The terrain had started rocky and dry, but had soon leveled out to a dense forest. She had been grateful to come across a stream earlier, but already her mouth was dry again. She sighed and pushed her dust and grit coated hair out of her face. It had been a while since she had come across a town where she could shower and get food. Just the thought of anything editable made her stomach grummble loudly. It had been five days since she had last eaten anything and the full moon was tomarrow.<br/><br/>She feared that day since she barley remembered anything she had done when she shifted. She had small memories of forests and a young woman with a child from her last shift. She shut her eyes for a moment praying she hadn't killed them. She had had some blood on her hands when she woke up but she didn't accept what she was and usually ignored her animal instincts. She had just ran as far from that place as possible when she had woken up. She was dizzy with hunger and had to stop frequently to muster up more energy to keep going.<br/><br/>She also hoped she was heading in the right direction to the town. She usually stayed away from them but she was desperate for food and had no choice. She was just hoping to get there before the full moon. She planned to leave right after she had gotten food and prayed she didn't return in her wolf form to cause any damage.<br/><br/>She stumbled and cursed under her breath and let out a horse cough. She knew she was getting sick, but after she ate and shifted she knew she would feel better. She hated to shift but it was useful when she was hurt or sick like this. She sat down with a heavy sigh, her eyes closed as she told her self she would rest only for a minute....
