Yes, I know where I am. Yes, I know how close I am to my enemies. Yes, I keep my friends close. Sort of... But my enemies are.
C L O S E R.
The puppy had been wandering around for quite a while now, and I feel worried for her. Where were her parents. Not all wolves around here would let the child live out its freedom, especially in these parts. I know I don't like to get involved. I don't want to get involved. Getting involved would require contact with other wolves or other horses. Other beings. I don't want that. But not getting involved would result in loss of blood, life, or worse: Freedom.
I want to jump up right here and now, and shout to the puppy to go home. But I can't. I cannot will myself to be heard, or to be seen. BUT staying in this position would be far easier to catch an eye. The key to invisibility is to not be there when someone is, and to be there when someone is not. THe thing is, you never know when someone is going to show up...
The puppy frolicked after something-- A bird or butterfly, which it did not matter. But as the flying creature left, it was apparent to the little tyke that he wasn't catching up any time soon.
Go home, little puppy. GO home. There is a saying that if you stare at someone long enough and focus a thought long enough, they'd get the message like ESP. I didn't believe in ESP, nor did I have any "special powers," but perhaps it is worth a try. What else could I do?
I focused everything on the puppy. I concentrated on her every movement, my ears picking up every shuffle. I flexed my paws in concentration. Concentration. Concentration. I thought only one phrase, "Puppy, go home. there is danger." But it didn't work. The puppy did not stop nor heed my thoughts.
I heard a noise behind me, and I swirled around. Too late. A figure stood. Too close. Caught, and Trapped.
I sighed. So much for trying to stay invisible and save the puppy at the very same time. What now, dear Lib? What now?
Hee Hee... I am Lady Liberty. When I want to go, I flee. And as of now, you wont find me. I am free, at liberty.
Few become close to me, for I prefer the "safety" of recluse. I'm but a crystal fleeting image, a female Canis Dirus, the Dire Wolf. Do I exist for you?

{S.urprise Me}
XXX I love surprises. Surprises are fun, they keep life interesting, and they keep your spirit young. Not saying I’m old. I’m not old. I’m young either, but I’m not old damn it. Anyways, I was talking about how great surprises are. They’re wonderful, exciting, often clever but sometimes trivial. Most surprises are small, and absolutely thrilling. But big ones are better. Something like stampeding horses coming your way. That’s gets the adrenaline going. Or a brilliant blue-sky, and a sudden, loud crack of thunder. Or, a young fae and a whelp in your lands, like the one I had the joy of getting, only moments ago. I spotted her out the corner of my eye, and she immediately caught my attention. She was sitting there, seemingly trying to become invisible, and watching something with desperate determination. I looked in that direction and saw a whelp playing. Her whelp? I didn’t know, but probably.
XXX I crept up behind her, intending to give her a surprise like she gave me. It’s only fair. But she heard me, and whipped around. Well, she was surprised at least. I stepped out of the shadows and gave her a charming smile. She was light in color, I believe, and seemed more alarmed at my presence than she should be. C’mon, I have the face of an angel. But maybe she reads the eyes. I’m a con artist, but I cannot change what it is my eyes. They are the windows to your soul.
{I'll R.ewardYou}
Come now love, I’m not that scary am I? I asked, pausing before I continued, My vexation is Anarchy.

He seemed light. This was my first impression. The fact remains, I don't like incountering ANYTHING, regardless of their alliance. It was not the eyes themselves that made me shiver. Nor was it the smile, the bewitching charm of his smile. His voice was nice, soothing-- He was a smooth talker. But this did not make me shiver either.
The shiver was induced due to the fact that his eyes were directed at me. I gave him a shy, worried smile. "Hello," my body language was that of worry, but that could never be distinguished in my voice. And If he were to gaze in my own eyes, looking past the nebulus sparks and whims, he would not find fear. Does this confuse you, dear wolf? It should.
I waited for him to return my greeting, or perhaps ask me the question I knew was coming. When someone introduces themself, he gave his name, it is customary for the other being in the conversation to reply with their own calling. Not me, though. Take note. I'm not a social being-- pretty ironic for a wolf.
I sat, ready to dash at a moment's notice. I felt like a spring, ready to dash far from here should the oppertunity come.
Alas, my own questions swirled inside of my head. Who is this Anarchy? What does he want? Will he know I exist? What will he do? Will I get away? Is he of good intent, or bad?
I shot him another smile, letting the questions go about answering themselves.
Hee Hee... I am Lady Liberty. When I want to go, I flee. And as of now, you wont find me. I am free, at liberty.

ooc; I'm sorry it took so long, and sorry it's so short. I have a combination of the flu, stress/depression, and a busy schedule.
XXX Ah, what a pretty fae. I wanted to step closer, but she seemed nervous, so I held my ground. My eyes flicked back to the pup, but she wasn’t where she had been, and my ears cocked in mild concern. Did she run off or was she hiding? Well, I wasn’t too worried, I hadn’t heard any frightened or pained yips, so I chose to drop the memory of her.
Why so worried, love? I’ll not hurt you, I only want to talk. What’s your name?
I looked back at the silver femme, my eyes studying her patiently. She was certainly a strange wolf, but perhaps she hadn’t spent much time in a pack. I wouldn’t force her to stay, but I hoped she would.

I gulped and narrowed my eyes. Stranger wanted to talk. I gave him one word, and he wishes more. It seems that in order to not be rude, I would have to say more. "I am Lib." I spare him my full name as I do all my encounters. I did not answer his first question, for he had interrupted it with another one. BUT still, I do not show any signs of relaxing. The tension is still there, and I am ready to flee at any moment.
I do say something else, though. My voice is steady and worriless, as though I was telling him that the game on the far side of the valley is more plentiful. "I don't exist." I nod, smiling. There is no longer fear. I speak truth. "Anarchy, I don't exist."
Where had the fear gone? It had vanished, as will I soon enough. The question remains-- Was the fear Real? Or was it an illusion as I claim to be? But did I really fear him in the first place, or was it an illusion of my worry? All these questions, no definate answer. There is no definates in reality. Reality is an illusion of the living. There are no facts, only perceptions. I smile again. I am a conundrum. Can you solve me?
