Rivers End

Rave wrote:Rave replies, "Thank you!" She grabs the bear claw and places it next to her face. She bites down on her long brown bangs and pushes the claw upward, cutting through the fur. Rave smiled as the long bangs fell from her face and her head felt lighter, showing off her right side of her face now as well. "Thats better." Rave giggled and gave the claw back to Moonfire. She turned around and looked at her reflection in the water.

(Omg this is what Crystal was about to do with hers! I wasn't trying to copy, and in fact I was thinking about it while I was gone, and apparently missed a few events. I just cant think of how to cut her bangs off. She's more depressed about doing it though. She's upset about all the things she has suffered for and thinks she needs to change to forget/rid of them, so she got rid of everything else.)

Crystal padded sadly to the water and stared at her reflection. She hadn't looked that much different after abandoning her necklace and feather. She realized an important thing. Wait, I can't just change my appearance, I have to change my personality. She thought harder. No more being a wimp, I gotta be braver! I can't be shy either... I have to cut off my bangs! She looked around and only saw Rave, Charmer, and Moonfire. Wait a sec, Raves bangs were missing. Crystal rushed over by her side, and asked quickly, "Rave, how did you cut off your bangs?"

Crystal sagged in disappointment. She still hasn't gotten over her shyness. Crystal clicked her tongue. "Really? Okay then." She went over to sit back at the water, but something caught her eye. She looked down to find a rock with a very odd shape. It didn't seem like a rock though. It looked very sharp, and was in the shape of an arrow. (An arrowhead) She grinned. Perfect! Clenching it in her mouth, she spit it out onto her paws, and with much difficulty, she held it up to her bangs. Wincing, she heard the blade slice her hair on contact. Opening her eyes, the one eye was still dark. Confused, she looked at her reflection. To her relief, she still had some bangs left, but they weren't covering her scarred eye. Horror struck her. She was blind in one eye. Dropping the arrowhead, she forced herself not to cry. She had to accept it. This was the new her.
She stared at her reflection in the water, mostly at her blind eye. It was a pale shade of blue, and was clouded over. She sighed, then looked back at Rave, and shrugged. She almost screamed when she exposed her scar to the world.

She nodded. "I'm... I'm fine." She stammered. This change was going to be harder than she though. She heard a splash and almost had a heart attack. She look around frantically, only to find a fish leaping out of the water, on her blind side. Being brave was out of the question. She was probably going to be more of a wimp than ever. At least that was a change.

She smiled slightly, but it vanished quickly. A growl rumbled from her stomach. Crystal realized that she hasn't eaten for a while. How was she going to hunt with one eye blind? Realizing that she was overreacting, confidence sparked her. This was no different than having bangs blocking her eye! She would just have to do the same as she always had done. Oddly puffing out her chest, she rises and marches off to the Hunting Grounds.

The unusually bred female padded to the river, and looked around. She approached the two talking and asked, "Is one of you Rave?" She lowered her head to hide herself in her own hair.

(I do that myself when I'm scared/shy. XD)
