{OPEN} Unsure and Uneasy

[Belle]

Never had there been a time where Belle had truly been afraid of humans. She had been raised with humans that had loved her and cared for her and her mother and siblings. They would play with them and never brought her harm. Even the ones that had held them in a cage for a time had been nice, caring for them until someone took them home. But, the ones here...she was scared of them. They had brought so much pain to them when they first got a hold on her and her father and brother, going as far as killing her brother. That alone had left her in fear of those white-pelted humans. They were the ones that she had wanted nothing more to do with them, but fate was not too kind. Even after her misfortunes, she was taken after only a few moons of being left to wander. She didn't know what had happen to those in her pack. Had they been taken too? Or, had she been the only one? Regardless, she wasn't entirely sure what to do. She was almost the same as she was before, surely they would recognize her.

Ears flickering forward, her black, damp nose twitching as she brought in the scents of the Nilda lands, Belle's deep chocolate brown eyes flickered back and forth. She really didn't know when the white-pelted humans had put her back, but she had woken up that morning in the familiar lands of her pack. But, there was more to worry about than simply making her way back to her pack. They would have to recognize her first... The humans had kept her for moons, of that she was sure of. How many was beyond her, but it had been enough that she had grown some. Her previously small puppy form had grown to that of a more mature build. She was still small compared to most any other canine, of course. Her pelt hadn't changed in color or length, but there was plenty that had changed. Like the pair of leathery, flimsy wings that sprouted from between her shoulders. It had been what the Keepers had wanted from her. To see how far they could push her. And...well, they had gotten what they wanted. Belle still didn't know what to think of these...new additions. She had done all she could to ignore them, but it was hard to do that when they reacted like any other muscle and limb would. A faint sigh left her as her chocolate eyes flickered back, the small, useless wings unfurling for a moment as they hung over her sides, just barely touching the ground.
