Alone at last

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia took a deep breath as she entered the city her ears twitching slightly as she looked around. She had never been in a place like this before, her parents had never let her, but now that she was free of them she could be were ever she wanted to be. Pulling her messenger bag a little to the side she continued on. Her clothing was perfect for this summer heat light tan pants and a light green tank top gave her body room to breath.

Bored, so very bored. There's just nothing to do today, nothing at all. These were the words floating in the head of a girl, maybe about 15 years old. She was just sitting on some crates in an alley way, legs crossed, hands behind her head, and just looking up at the sky. One of the white clouds flitting across the sky moved out of the way of the sun, which then filled the alleyway with bright light. This revealed the girls features. Although she was hooded in a black cloak, you could still make out some of her face. She had pale white skin, one crystal blue eye, and the other strangely hidden in shadow, even though the sun was shining brightly. The black hooded cloak she was wearing hid her slender figure, and the hood hid ebony horns that curved around to the back of her black haired head. She never did like those horn, it's why she always wore that hood of hers. There was a necklace around her neck, it was in the shape of a full moon, she thought it quite fitting of her ability to change into a wolf. Out of the corner of her revealed eye she saw the anthro wolf, finally a creature whose company she might enjoy.

She placed her hand on the crate she was sitting on and pushed off with them, the four silver bracelets around her right hand jingling as she got to her feet. She went on her tip toes as she raised her hands in the air and stretched, yawning as she did. After her hands went back to her sides her right hand quickly grabbed the full moon necklace around her neck. She muttered a few words in a strange language and shadows began to swirl about her. She stepped out of the alleyway, no longer a human, but a black furred wolf. The only impurity to her thick black fur were the two white marks on her head where her horns used to be. The necklace that was still around her neck was glowing softly, but it soon went dim again after it's purpose was completed.

She padded after the anthro wolf whom she had seen, the four silver bracelets around her right foreleg jingling with each step. She followed Cecillia as if the anthro were her master, just looking up at her face with her still only revealed eye, and her tail swinging back and forth.

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia blinked as she heard a steady jingle coming from behind her. Shrugging her shoulders she continued on although careful to keep an ear trained on the jingle. After a while she finally turned to determine who the jingle belonged to, looked down and smiled. "Well hello there." She said to the black wolf.

Duemous gave a playful bark to Ceccllia in response to her hello, a smile on her muzzle and her tail still wagging. Her blue eye (and the one that is covered in shadow) scanned over the anthro, most anthros that Duemos knew didn't wear the kind of clothes that Cecillia was wearing, they mostly wore tore up rags or other torn up clothing since they were either poor or outlaws. Cecillia must have had a good life as a child, one that Duemos wished that she had. Maybe Cecillia could understand the wolven tongue? It would make sense since Cecillia was part canine herself. She decided to test her little theory out. "Hello, yourself. My name's Duemos, what's yours?"

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia blinked flicking both ears forward. " My name is Cecillia nice to meet you Duemos, do you live here?" She asked using the wolven tongue herself leaning down her hand out stretched to scratch Duemos's head, She stopped herself not wanting to upset her, instead she fiddled with her shoe lace then straightened back up and squatted down tot he wolf level.

[demin]

Duemos's ears swivelled forward as Cecillia spoke and brought up her hind leg to scratch behind her ear. "Nah, I don't really live anywhere. I like to travel a lot." She said, bringing her hind leg back to the ground. Duemos noticed that Cecillia outstretched her hand, almost touching touching the wolf's head, only to see that the hand went down to Cecillia's shoe. "What? You afraid I"m gonna bite?" She sarcastically asked, allowing a smirk to pass her maw. The smirk didn't stay on her face very long, it was interupted by a yawn that she was reluctant to let escape her muzzle. "Sorry 'bout that. I havn't slept in a couple days."

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia smiled "Well that sounds like fun, to tell you the truth this is my first time away from my home town." She said scratching the back of her head. Her smile quickly turned into a frown after Duemos yawned. "Well that doesn't sound healthy why haven't you been sleeping?" She asked concern showing on her face.

[demin]

Duemos cocked her head to the side, making it appear as if she was thinking. "Yeah, it's okay. Nothin' exciting has happened while I've been wandering around recently. It gets kinda borin' sometimes." She said lazily, yawning once again. "This really the first time you've been away from home? I've been wandering for about 10 years now." After she said this she realized she made a little mistake. 10 years to a wolf (or dog) is almost ancient, but Duemos looked so young and healthy in her wolf form, maybe Cecillia wouldn't notice that detail.

[Lemur Lexi]

"Yeah this is my first time away from home." Cecillia cocked her head to the side. "Did you say ten years or am I mistaken?" She asked straining her already bad eyes to see the wolf in front of her. All she could make out was the blurry black form of her body. Sighing she gave up as she closed her eyes and relayed on her on her ears instead.

[demin]

Duemos looked away for a few seconds, trying to come up with an excuse, nothing. She looked back to Cecillia, a little bit of worry showed in her eyes. "Uhhh...damn. No you heard right, I've been traveling for 10 years." She paused to once again bring her hind leg up and scratch at her ears. "Wanna know why? I'm not really a wolf."

((DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK))

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia blinked again. "I would have never guessed." She answered truthfully. "if your not really a wolf then what are you?" She asked still keeping her eyes closed as she waited for an answer.

[demin]

Another smirk appeared on the 'wolf's' face as she put her hind leg back on the ground. "You'll find out sooner or later."She said slyly. She didn't really like talking about herself that much, time to change the subject. "So, where did you live before you came here?" She asked, getting back to her feet and walking in the direction they had been traversing previously.

[Lemur Lexi]

Cecillia straightened up and followed after her, hands behind her back. "Well I lived in a little town called Trinla Valley... It was very small and there was hardly anything to do there." She smiled before letting out a sigh. "I'm glad I'm on my own now for once in my life my parents aren't dictating my entire life."

[demin]

Duemos yawned again, silently cursing herself for not going to sleep for the past few days. "Damn, why did I have to stay up all night? If my brother knew, he'd kill me." She said, thinkiing out loud. She looked back up at Cecillia, a small smile on her face. "Hah, your lucky to even know your parents. The only person I have is my brother, and I don't even know where he is right now."

[Lemur Lexi]

She blinked. "Well I guess I did have it good." She said softly hoping she hadn't hurt Duemos's feelings. "What happened to your brother?" She asked putting her hands in her pockets her ears swiveled forward.
