Earlier this morning, she had managed to wake up before dawn. somehow that was partially unbelievable, considering the case that she was anything but a morning person. Lexi threw off the blankets and sighed, feeling chills crawl up her exposed legs. She sat up, reached down, and covered herself with the blankets again, relaxing when she felt the blankets radiate her body heat. Staring at the ceiling, she thought. How long had she been laying in bed, counting the minutes and seconds as they went by? Minutes? Hours? An entire day? Lexi didn't know anymore, but why would she care? It's not like she had anything to do today anyways.
Well, that was a lie. She did have things to do, but she just wasn't interested in completing those tasks. With a heavy sigh, she sat up, running a hand through her hair and looking towards the mirror hanging from her wall directly above her dresser. Her brown hair was poking out in awkward angles, and the sight of the bags under her eyes made Lexi cringe. She was not looking good today. She had just recovered from a cold that had her bed-ridden for about two days time. But, the fact was that her health had gotten a lot better than she had been the previous few days.
Pushing herself out of bed with a heavy groan and walking across the room to her dresser, she leaned against the royal dark oiled oak wood, and pulled open a drawer, pulling out a pair of clean jeans. The top drawer was filled with undergarments and socks. The second drawer was filled with shirts she could sleep in and sweatpants. The third drawer was filled with jeans and cargo pants. The jeans she pulled out were light-washed with a few ripped holes in them, but it didn't matter. She wasn't going to be doing much today anyways. Lexi was in the mood for a walk, though, so why not go for one? Walking to her closet, she threw open the folding doors and grabbed a short-sleeved forest green low-cut t-shirt and threw it onto her bed, landing on her jeans. She then looked around in her closet for a moment at the sweaters that were hanging, and found a black one with a flower design stitched into the back of it. She threw it across the room and that landed on her bed as well. Pivoting on her heels, she walked towards her bed and got dressed.
Fixing the sleeves on her sweatshirt, she grabbed her crossbow from it's resting spot by the front door of her small, self-owned cottage that was nestled in the middle of the forest, deep into the valley. She was about a thirty minute walk from the town, but that didn't bother her, she preferred being on her own anyways, especially with keeping an open house for lycanthropes going into hiding. The cottage didn't seem very big, but if you could locate the secret trap door, you would enter the basement, where it was a large rec room, leading off to the side with extra bedrooms and beds that Lexi had stolen from a closing mattress store.
Walking out of her house, she slung her crossbow over her shoulder and began trekking through the forest. The clean oxygen filtered through her lungs, making her body relax as she moved about, carefully stepping over twigs and tree roots and logs that had fallen. She was deep into thought about what she should cook up for dinner tonight, when a howl caught her attention. Her head snapped into the direction it came from, hearing it easily. Then another howl came from a different direction, but it was going to the first howl. Lexi listened carefully for more howls, knowing that these weren't just any dogs, these were wolves, werewolves. She then broke into a jog, her steps quiet and careful as she moved about, heading towards the howls. She could smell the blood, and hearing a whisk through the air and a snarl of pain, Lexi looked around her, and found a large gnarled oak tree to climb up. She ran towards it, pressing her feet against the trunk and pushing herself up, grabbing ahold of a branch and hauling herself up onto the large thing, squatting down and focusing through the branches.
There was a fellow hunter approaching a small open clearing. Her dark green eyes looked over to the clearing and saw a number of wolves helping a pack mate away from the clearing, hoping to get him out of danger. Lexi looked back at the female hunter, a longbow in her hands. She was adjusting an arrow with her hands, focusing on the wolves moving away from the clearing. It took Lexi a moment to load her bow, and she aimed it at the hunter. With a sharp intake of breath, steadying the crossbow, she held her breath, and shot. The arrow whizzed through the air silently, but loud enough that a wolf could hear it. The bow landed in the hunter's leg, and a scream of pain came from the girl. Lexi grinned and reloaded, shooting another arrow, but missing by a few millimeters, when the hunter moved again. "Dammit! Quit moving, you stupid brat." She growled under her breath and reloaded.
