She was tired, oh so tired, and yet the feeling of restlessness kept her moving. Her reunion with dear ol' dad had brought more peace than she could have imagined and her spirit for adventure had returned thereafter. But even on nights as calm and beautiful as this.. she still fell victim to her nightmares.

The deep blue sky was cloudless and the moon small enough so that the speckled stars could shine their brightest. It was the perfect night to slip from the den and to ease her mind. She had never intended on getting this far from home but she was here now in the dried grasses of the fields and simply laying upon her back to get the best view.

Silently she wondered if her mother was looking up at the same constellations as she and a wave of sadness swept over her for the longest moment. It feels like it has been so long since she has felt the gentle caress of her dam and to hear her soothing voice would be heaven. But that is not the reality of the situation and it is something she will have to overcome with time. A difficult 'something' nonetheless when she is tormented by these recurring nightmares of losing her mother forever.

An uncontrollable whine slips through her lips as she rolls onto her side and closes her eyes, falling into a world where none of this is true in her mind and letting the sounds of the soft breeze of her surroundings soothe her aching soul.
