The enveloping darkness was too consuming to give any sort of identification to the little beast. Whatever it was, or whom it had been, all instincts pointed towards defending herself. The agile android defended attacks, swatted away futile attempts to cause her pain, and she even returned the attacks. It was a short battle, but one that was victorious. She gripped the creature by their leg (it was then that she concluded that it was not some animal, but a humanoid) and tossed them into the air. Their body disappeared from the twilight and was not heard from again. The silence gripped onto her, and her heart thudded in her ears.
?That?s too bad,? she tilted her head as a bead of sweat caressed the side of her face. The female combed her slender fingers through her golden hair before continuing up the path. Although the sandy beach had been more pleasing, aside from the horrendously annoying seagull, she found this calm path to be pleasant enough. The trees whispered gossip to one another, and she gazed up at them in awe. Being a tree would be fun, she grinned at such a thought.
Hours had passed since she had awoken upon the island. Her pack had barely any food, yet she was forced to nibble and ration what she could. The sun was not yet evident, but the stars were beginning to hide. The lunar globe was no longer visible, whether due to clouds or the trees. She was forced to stare at the other side of the path, while she sat upon a dirty stump eating bits of bread.
There was no explanation for why she had chosen to go east. She did consider the fact that the coast had looked prettier this way, and had to nod at that simple answer. Her meal was over, and the sound of birds began to sound above. She wondered if they knew the seagull, and would pick up the task of bothering her too. Wearily she had to glance up and from side to side. It wouldn?t be fun to get bombed by birds. Whether it was bound to happen or not, she took to wandering along the path again, and toward whatever may be on the other side.
