Kait hadn’t noticed Ren’s arrival. She was so shaken, so troubled by what had just happened to pay any mind to her silent sibling. Right now she was scared… she needed Zeph… to cling to her and try to get rid of that voice in her head. If anyone could chase away those thoughts it was her big sister. Kait kept her eyes squeezed closed, feeling dread creep up upon her. She hated not knowing what was going to happen. When she finally got her breathing calmed down enough to answer her sister she took a breath and did so.
“The voice sounds like mama’s but... It’s in my head Zeph. I can’t get away from it.” Kaitlyn lifted her head, only then taking notice of her brother. The little girl looked at him with sad eyes, her focus breaking away from Zeph for a moment. “Ren!” She shakily got to her paws and crossed over to him. “They didn’t hurt you,did they?” Her words were soft, a pitiful whine escaping her throat. Why couldn’t things just be okay?
