First Encounter // Molly & Unicorn ((Supernatural AU))
She was....what was the word for it? Not scared....but...nervous....yes, that was it. she was nervous. The unicorn stood at the edge of the boundaries to her corner of the forest. Her ears flicked as she considered turning back. No! No! She would learn what was beyond her forest! and if things turned out terribly she could return, after all she was the only one whom knew where this place was.
‘There will be more then enough magic remaining to keep my home safe.’ She reminded herself with a huff and flick of her mane. Raising a single hoof she hesitated for only a second before landing it outside the barrier. Inch by inch the rest of the pure white being followed until she found herself at a gallop through trees and paths she’d never explored before. It was exhilarating! Feeling the strange, yet somewhat familiar breeze brush her fur and ruffle her mane.
A soft whinny of excitement escaped her and the moment she realized she stopped in her tracks and looked about. Her ears flicked in one direction to the other listening for any signs that there were more then just the forest’s natural residents around that may have heard her. She...didn’t see anything...but she could feel something. She followed the strange pull slowly, hooves sinking into the moist earthen forest with every step and her lion-like tail flicking back and forth nervously.
Finally she came to a small clearing where a young girl was occupying already. She wasn’t sure exactly what the girl was doing but the was an air of magic about her...perhaps that is what drew the unicorn here? She watched quietly for a time but eventually the soft brushing of a falling leaf against her nostril cause the creature to huff in surprise. She immediately snapped her head up to face the girl managing to stand so still one almost wouldn’t know she were alive if not for the subtle movements of her sides indicating she was breathing.
