Riley had spent the late afternoon hunting; managing to catch a bracer of rabbits along with some kind of medium-sized reptile that was too slow to avoid a boot to the back of the head. She had them tied together and slung over her shoulder, all bodies dressed and ready for cooking. She might not be able to provide a cheesecake, but she could sure put meat on the table when it was needed.
She was walking quietly back through the woods when she picked up the strange scent. Strange because she'd never smelled anything like it before and strange because she wasn't certain what it was? A captor? A new crazy thing in the woods with an appetite for the residents? She slowed her footfalls, coming closer but keeping trees in between her and whoever, or whatever, it was.
