At first his mischievous suggestion made her heart sink. She felt the sudden jolt of adrenaline a bunny might feel when it feels like it has been spotted. That moment one must decide if they’re going to chance running, or staying put. Her ears swivel and her golden gaze looks at him suspiciously, looking over each of her shoulders as she stammers, “Um” she takes a shaky little breath, “I don’t know, my mother is…pretty…she’s pretty protective. If she finds out, she’s going to be mad…” She whimpers a little, showing her age to its bones. The boy was younger, but in some weird way, he was much older. Her sheltered life has not served her well in this instance – her mother has endangered her without meaning to.
His demand fell onto her like a collar and leash. She’s drawn in, her heartbeat calmed in an instant, her anxiety melting away like a snowflake in the summer. She looks around again, her brain still fighting the pull of her mental tether, “Oh..ok…okay. I’ll go.” her frown is replaced, a if her body just started to digest what her brain is telling her…which is to go, run, follow him – do not look back, go, go, go!
When he rustles his wings she does a small rear, dancing a little, excited and ready to roll. She launches from her position, leaping into a full run, feeling her young body push itself to its limit. She would run beside him until she’s near collapse and her lungs on the verge of bursting form her chest, pushing herself to however far her legs will get her.
