Snippet #1036594

Riya returned to the beach, she waited in the shadows at the edge of the forest, unsure of what to do. Two people were talking, a guy and girl. The girl looked to be confused, but Riya couldn't be sure. They were the first people she ahd seen. There must be at least some others... She strained her ears to try and hear what they were saying. Stupid human senses, they were nowhere near as clear as her senses when she was wolf. She was momentiraly distracted, staring at the blazing sun in the bright blue sky, wishing the orange fiery sphere would change to the pale, ghostly, glistening moon she loved so much. A tingly went down her spine and she felt her bones begin to stir. NO!Not yet! She willed her blood to stop gathering and her muscles to losen. She couldn't change yet, it wasn't near full moon time. Riya had learnt the hard, very painful way that changing without the... power?...guidance?... well whatever it was of the full moon was a big no no. "Building." The word snapped out of her thoughts and she saw the two people. She supposed she should also go to the building. There was bound to be somebody there who knew what was going on. And she was hungry, she didn't know the rules of this island. Were they allowed to pick fruit, would she be able to hunt the animals? And it would be good to be able to relax, in the privacy of a room somewhere. She turned and headed back into the forest, deciding not to meet the two people on the beach. She would, eventually, and others to, she was sure, but she needed time. After all, she hadn't spoken to humans for so long.
