The gathering of wolves at the waterfalls had been my last big gathering, my last hope of seeing Hera within the boundaries of Moladion. I missed my little sister with a vengeance that just didn’t make any sense. She was out there somewhere, and I had lost her. I felt as if I was such a failure, to everyone who we’d lost from the meteor, momma, everyone. What was wrong with me that I couldn’t keep my little sister safe?

Weeks passed since the big gathering, and I wander aimlessly still. No plans for my future, no want to be within the walls of a pack. I was more of a free spirit now than I ever had been before. I was more like my birth mother now more than ever. I move silent, my slight size makes it easy to move within the thick brush that reaches out at me, trying to grip and grasp at my beautiful silky coat. I was mainly white, yes, so it was a hassle to keep away from the dirt and grime, but my red popped out in an astonishing way as I move. I was quick with my movements as of lately though, feeling as if something wasn’t all right in the world.

I don’t know what it was that made me feel so off but it was something I couldn’t ignore. I was on edge today, even more so now. I watched him as he closed in front of me, my tri-colored eyes flashing anger and a slight fear. He leans close, and I wait, just until he’s close enough. My anger breaks, and I lash, my jaws snapping in the direction of his face, my goal is to keep him away from me.

I slink backwards, my lips curled up and baring my pearly whites. I never took well to someone invading my space, and this strange…thing, wouldn’t be an exception. He demands I speak, and I only obey for one simple statement. “Fuck you.”

The statement is a roughly spoken one, my anger bubbling underneath the surface as I watch him. He’s larger than me, that much is obvious, but I don’t take to being pushed around and dominated. Correction, attempted domination. He wasn’t getting anywhere with me, despite what he may think. I was not a weak little girl. There was never any doubt that I would be able to hold my own if I had to deal with someone like this asshole. Lets see how he reacts now, Shall we?
