American Dirt: Reload

[americandirtmod]

It all began as a soft light, then an aching head, followed by a slow realization that there was a familiar bed underneath them. The window near their bed was open and a gentle breeze kept the curtains wafting. Their belongings were organized neatly and all in their places - exactly as they last remembered them

Ava was uncomfortable on the bed - she never slept on it. And to be laid out on her back in a very human manner was...enough to make her raise her hackles. She was snarling and soon enough growled when she registered the temperature of the wind. The scents that lingered in the air were not what she last remembered. There was too much pollen, too many signs of life renewed.

Examining the apartment left her with no clue of who had done this and it only served to rankle her ire more. The lack of scents only made her more edgy.

Hadn't she been about to go down to the meeting and tell all the Ashwood Height residents who'd listen about the nasties? ...she had been so certain that the task was done and yet she couldn't remember anything about it. She had been preparing to go down and then nothing.

Ava snarled and even let out a rumbling growl, giving the apartment one more cursory examination before going outside and questioning the first local she saw. Their answers were less than satisfactory. Just gone on? Ava had snarled back, baring teeth not wholly human.

No one else had dared to go near her after that.

Huffing to herself, Ava made her way back to Ashwood Heights, sitting on the railing. And she waited for someone, anyone else to wake up. At least maybe then she'd see someone else that made sense in this town.
