175 First Stage of the Competition (2) - Healer!

Adrianna ran for a long time through the forest, but she couldn't find any neotides. Exasperated, she trotted off and sat under a shady tree. She wondered how the others were doing. Was trapping a neotide the only criteria for the first stage, or there was more into it? She had to find one before tomorrow night. 

She must have rested for only a few minutes when, all of a sudden, she heard a rustle of leaves; it was as though someone was passing by. She became alert and wondered if she should shape shift, but the noise soon died down and she relaxed a bit. Apart from attacking werewolves in the forest, the neotides also had a tendency to attack people on the highway that stretched through the west periphery of the jungle. Although she was tempted to run a bit further in her werewolf form to find the neotides, she quickly realized that there was a paucity of time. She had to take her chances, so she turned towards the highway.
