Alone Together

The time felt like it was ticking by all too slow. Paws shifting in place as she wondered if Holly would even show up. Was she still mad? Last she heard from Rivaxorous, Holly wasn't too keen on having visitors lately, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try. She decided she would wait, even if she had to sleep near the borders until she saw her. She knew she was hurting, with both parents gone and the rest of her family in a another pack, she knew Holly needed someone. At last, she heard the slow paw steps coming closer, amber gaze finding the sullen form of her God daughter. The young girl greeted her in a quiet voice, and Avalon's heart clenched at the sound of defeat in Holly's voice. Without waiting, Avalon closed the gap between them and nuzzled her cheek. "Holly, I'm so sorry I took so long...how are you, dear?"
