It happened quickly. In the first microsecond, she thought it was part of her dream… a strange part at that. But it didn’t take long for her to realize it was actually happening. A tongue. By. Her. Ear. Braith’s eyes snapped open and what caught her attention was not what she expected in the slightest. The male that towered over her was terrifying! And he was twice her size!
She yelped in shock as she scrambled to all fours and attempted to bolt, wetting herself as she did so. There was no shame in survival, so why should she have shame in that moment for trailing droplets of urine as she tried, and failed, to find a reasonable hiding place? Braith found herself tripping over her own paws, tail tucked between her legs as she scrambled behind whatever she could. Her current spot of choice? Some kind of shrub that was half her size. That didn’t matter, though. She shrank herself down to hide herself as best she could.
”D-don’t come near!” she cried out after swallowing the lump in her throat, her tone filled with an obviously horrible attempt at hiding her fear and surprise. Don’t come near. Really? That was all she could manage to get out? Well, if he did try to, she could always try to run away… it was worth a shot. She could just avoid the oasis for the rest of her life. That’d be fine, right? Her mother seemed to have done okay with mostly having cactus juice when she was a pup… she could do the same. Right?
