ELEANOR

she ran and she ran, she hadn't a clue how long she had run. the sun was setting and when Eleanor left her home it was half-way in the sky, that gave her a clue. the pounding of her feet was becoming louder, drumming out Eleanors echoing sounds of stading outside her fathers chamber, the moaning and pleasureable roars. she was furious and frightened all in one. her surroundings where unfamiliar, the sents were obscure. she knew that there must be some tiger around. she didn't want to call out in fear of one of her fathers guards hearing. eleanor warily stopped beside a river and began lapping, thick trees and undergrowth were looming over her. the only sound was her lapping. the water gently washed up against her underbelly, her neat paws were tucked underneath her neatly as she scanned the area, flinching as a bird flew from the trees. she suddenly felt very hot and decided to slip into the water and follow the stream, she had no-where to get to anyway.

she only lifted herself out of the water when the sun began to set and she looked for somewhere to sleep. Eleanor wandered werily across the forest, the trees began to thin out and bushes covered the grass. when she stepped onto the grass water began to seep through it. she walked quickly determined to get away from this water as it was dirty and it made her frightened. the sun wasn't see-able through the thick canopy and the dim light revealed a large rock, leaping onto it she sat down and brought her paw around her ear once. she lifted my cranium and opened my mouth and tasted the air, another tiger was here and very close, Eleanor unsheathed her claws and growled. "Whos there? If you work for my father!" she growled through gritted teeth. she looked around and scanned the trees, a dark figure sat on the sturdy tree. he didn't smell like her fathers guards..."Who are you anyway? I am...." she thought about not telling him her name but then shrugged, what had she got to live for? "Eleanor."
