I Know You Lay In Bed,
Contemplating Your Own Death


It was an odd feeling. She had been without him for so long. Honestly, in her head she felt as though Silas had been more of a father to her - But Aindreas was like her. He seemed shocked by her words, his orbs widened. "Forgotten you? You are my daughter - the only remaining daughter I have and one of only three remaining pups. I thought you had sought out a new home or died like your siblings. Striker had held a pack meeting and you did not attend, and I could not find you afterward. I waited.... but..." That's when she had realized how badly this family had been crashing down - And how little she knew about it.

Her ears flicked back against her head. "W-What...? Who's still alive? Where are they?" All traces of anger had vanished as she became concerned. She took a second the calm herself before Aindreas spoke again. "Where had you disappeared too, little one?" Slowly, his eyes raised and he swept them over her again. "Although, I suppose you are not so little anymore, are you darling? Although, I suppose you are not so little anymore, are you darling?" She gave a soft smile, and with a gulp she spoke her small story. "I didn't feel wanted in the pack or in the family really. I suppose after you left though, I began to look for you - I couldn't find you anywhere."

She sighed and looked to her paws. "I gave up trying then, I was alone and had no one. I tried to end my life as a pup,, to throw myself into the river that I actually crossed to come see you. I was saved then by the new alpha, Silas. He adopted me, took me in, but he disappeared too . . ." She looked to him, waiting for his response to her questions of him being here instead of home. "Moondown Shadows was your home because you were born there, but I was born in a land far from here, far from Blossom Forest even. I chose to live in Munashii Gekko as a pup, and again years later when I first returned to this place as an adult. Since then, much has happened and I have jumped from pack to pack, a few by your grandfather's decree to firm up alliances between friendly packs. Moondown Shadows was one of those places, and when Striker left, there was no reason for me to be there... I moved next to Spring Grounds and..."

She raised a brow. And what? What had happened that he had to go venture further away? "I stayed there... a while, but your grandfather had a responsibility to his puphood pack and needed to leave and asked that I take over command of this pack until your uncle Vladimir was old enough to rule." There was something more that he wasn't talking about but she let it slide for now. . "And now, here I am, you see. Biding my time until it is Vladimir's time. Now, Pandora, tell me of your own tales. Where have you been, have you seen your brother Drizzt? How was... how was your change?" She gave a small smile.

"I've been hiding in the darkness... for too long I suppose. As far as my change; it was otherworldly.
