Delilah - Castleyard
"That way, mum! The forest" Delilah begun skipping to the forest boundaries, tugging her mom gently along, holding on just a little tighter to make sure she'd never loose such a great gain. Adrenaline paced through her veins, sharp winds cut through bangs, she felt... free . Delilah looked back and forth between her mom's delicate face and the exit, out to the forest. The closer they had gotten to the exit, the more the foliage grew out closer to the path, untamed and vibrant. Flowers of many color lined the path way, bees and butterflies soaring from each one of them. She would jump through a dirt pile with pieces of uprooted grass, some of the dirt would stick the ends of her skirt and cover her shoes. The only exit to the fence that would keep anything behind was nearing.
Something out of the blue would stand out to the girl' the tree where most of the birds would've been singing was silent, because there were no birds, but Issac in the bushes. A small wiff gave his scent away, he was there. Delilah didn't plan to stop until he'd throw he an apologetic 'don't go any further' glance.
"Issy...why are you here? Aren't you suppose to be with daddy?" The little girl's smile was drained of joy as she asked this hesitantly. He was never around until she decided to tell him of her secret doings. A gust of wind blew by as she waited for an answer, silently. It took away but her young mind had fit his reasons of being here together. She dropped her mothers hand, plodding up to the stump of tree to have a clearer view. He was there to stop them because daddy said so. Wouldn't mom have known about daddy saying no? Why did she refuse to listen? Of course this was all of an assumption, recognizing that she didn't know for sure, but settled on what mattered of him being in the way of the forest."Issy......" She whispered, the word's barely coming off her lips, her eyes widened and her purple tinted irises would lighten, giving off one emotion; hurt. Over the year she has been in Issac's presence, never has he defied dad's orders nor let her cross over the line. She didn't have a real to ever cross over the line, regardless.... this wasn't one of those times.
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore...
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought...
"...." Delilah placed both hands on the bark and gripping on with her fingernails, placing one foot below it and pushing off with all 3 limbs, completing part of a flip. She would have came down onto her head in human form, except four sandy paws would hit the ground with a small thud instead. A complete kitsune transformation. Yes, she has never transformed in front of others, but during one of her forest runs, she found apathy for the form gifted to all of those with traces of kitsune blood. She was no bigger than the average fox since it correlated with her young age, although it kitsune forms were rumored to be deadly as the aged and grew taller.
With a high pitched yelp, She darted towards her mother, digging her canines into her dress as she tried pulling her desperately to the gate. Come on, come on, we need to hurry.... If Danni didn't end of bending to her daughter's will, Delilah would end up ripping the dress apart trying.
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence...
I wanna break free ....
Delilah would slip through the iron bar gates with her slender form, thinking her mother would be right behind her.
