the night dark, the air tense, and the trees worshipping the moon

Nate sighed his voice quivering,"I dont know but your not touching her." He said his voice low and dark as he pointed at Stacey.

Jackie glared at him. "Don't under estimate my self control." She almost growled. "I would never, she's a friend." Then she looked at the both of them. "I'm going to make a quick round of this part of the woods, see if I can scent anything. I'll be right back." Then the trees rustled and she was gone.

[nate]

Nate hissed under his breath,"Sure." Then he looked around trying to spot any movement. He neither heard or saw anything. He couldnt even smell anything which kinda scared him.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie came back a little unnerved. "Nothing." She said. In her head she couldn't help wondering if it was her, or there was nothing,

[nate]

He looked around with cold eyes,"Same here. What the f*ck happened to them," he hissed.

Stacey ad a quiver of arrown in her hand, which was shaking. She slipped into the trees and shot a poor rabit she found, going into its burrow. She brought it back and threw it on the ground.

Jackie saw the rabbit on the ground, the blood was tempting, but she frowned in disgust. "Thanks Stacey. But I catch my own prey." She said, but she knew she would have to eat something soon. She would even settle for a squirrel now,  but the thought of not catching her own food? That disgusted her.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded. "That`s okay, I just... I just thought I could....."

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"Its not your fault. I just-" Jackie stopped and sniffed the air once more. She sank low and sped off into the forest without another word.

In the distance there were sounds of a small struggle. A roar of a mountain lion, or something of the sort. And then an even more fearsome snarl, but after a moment all sounds ceased.

Two or so minutes later Jackie strolled much more casually into the small clearing, as if nothing had happened, but her appearance said otherwise. Her hair was bushy and in disarray and her jeans were torn to shreds just past her knee, while her shirt had slashes across the stomach area, but no higher. Also her arms and a bit below her neck was slightly spattered with blood, but it wasn't hers.

Aside from her clothes she appeared unharmed. Her eyes now were also a deep blue.

Nate stared at Jackie quizzically,"What ya do?" His voice back to normal and his eyes lighter with amusement even though he was starving and that rabbit was looking better and better as it became staler and the blood cold.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie blushed, looking at her clothes. "Yeah, I smelled a big mountain lion a ways back. It got a little messy, I tend to forget to be neat when I'm so thirsty." She explained.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey let out a sigh of relief; she felt less nervous now that Jackie had fed, ever though she knew Jackie would never hurt her.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"Hm... I should probably change..." JAckie mumbled, muttering a few words under her breath. "Oh, yeah! I remember, I keep stashes of clothes in trees all over the forest. Well, in case of... this." She said sweeping her hand over her figure.

Then she ran to a tree and pulled a bundle out. She ran into the woods and there was a rustling of bushed, before she returned wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top with a gray hoodie covering that.

[nate]

"Thats not weird at all," Nate said with a smile. He felt better for some reason.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie looked at him and put her hands on her hips. "Well, would you rather me walk around in shredded clothes?" She asked, raising her eyebrow. "Yeah, I don't think so."
