The boy stood stock still staring death in the eye and he knew it, or thought he did anyway. His snarl grew more violent as she approached, but the look in her eyes as soft as it was unnerved him slightly. It was the look his mother gave him and confused him, but he knew all too well, knew that this was not his mother and the look she gave him was a lie! He bared his little teeth at her his breath short, heart beating like mad in his chest as he waited and thought about what he should do. Then she moved at him, poking him at the den, telling him that food was in there. Food? He didn’t want food! But she didn’t hurt him she turned away for just a moment and he stood frozen staring at her. He needed to go home! Tell his mom and dad that Heim was gone or hurt out there in the middle of nowhere!

She seemed to be content for the moment and he started to move towards the edge still giving her a look that could kill before she turned around again looking completely bewildered and confused. The loving look was gone from her eyes, replaced with clear surprise like he didn’t expect him there leaving the sodden scruffed pup only more confused and honestly scared. His ears fell back, it was far from the reaction he thought he would get and she just looked at him as if he were some ghost, far too young to understand, or perhaps ever understand the damage that had been done to her mind causing her to fade in and out. She spoke then, her voice somewhat different than it was when she had spoke before and this unsettled the child further.

Was he lost? He glared at her wondering if she was playing some strange game with him that he was too young to understand and bared his teeth at her his hackles once again standing on end. ”You brought me here! “ He snapped angrily at her mad that seemingly had forgotten the misery she was causing him. ”You killed Heimdallr! Like daddy does bunnies! You killed him!” Why didn’t she understand, why didn’t she remember? His face contorted and suddenly he child’s mental state collapsed entirely sending him into a sobbing furry mess on the ground.

”Why did you hurt him… I don’t understand… why did you… Heim.” He sobbed curling up in a ball shuddering with each breath he took. Sven just didn’t understand. How could someone do something this cruel and just pretend they didn’t remember.
