Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[Stormy]

Sadie raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t even know she met with Snowfall today.” Sadie says. “And.. you’re telling me you suspecting something was up caused her to run away?”

[TheLastLion]

"I... I don't know." Kaylee began to tear up. "Maybe she got the feeling that I didn't trust her and that she couldn't trust me..."

[Stormy]

Sadie took a deep breath as she heard Kaylee, she was obviously hurting in some way because of this. “We’ll find her.” Sadie says reassuringly as they continued forward.

Meanwhile, where Nicki was on the tree, she was dozing off comfortably in the spot she was in. For some odd reason, she enjoyed how high off the ground she was. It was dangerous, but she still liked the height regardless. Suddenly, she felt movement on one half of the tree. She gasps as she sees a panther landing right in front of her. It wasn’t a small one, either. It was large. She held her breath and stayed extremely still as it stared at her. After a few moments, the panther jumped across to another tree after its curiosity was lost. Nicki lets out a sigh of relief.

"I think we're getting closer," Kaylee yawned, the physical and emotional exhaustion of the day's events beginning to take their toll on her.

[Stormy]

Sadie sighed, losing a bit of hope that they’d find her that night. “Maybe.” She replied, as they arrived near a forest like area. “I doubt she’d be in there...”

[TheLastLion]

"It's worth a shot at this point."

[Stormy]

Sadie dreadfully leads the way into the forest. “Stay close.” She says to Kaylee. They walk for a little bit before they hear really light breathing coming from one of the extremely high trees, as if someone was sleeping up there.

[TheLastLion]

"Wait... I know that sound..."

[Stormy]

They both look up to see Nicki peacefully sleeping on one of the strong branches of a tree. Albeit covered in mud. “How’d... how’d she even get up that high?” Sadie whispered, seeing how tall the tree was. It genuinely had to be one of the tallest trees Sadie had ever seen.

[TheLastLion]

"I honestly have no idea," Kaylee mused. "But, I think we should just let her rest and wait until tomorrow morning."
