Oh Mama, Wait For Me!

Believing her mother had been hard. Would she really stay around? Was she really there? She'd left before, ran, and had never came back to check. Avani was the only one who came back. A lot of others had seen the carnage, but Avani was truly the only one who really saw it. Who got to comfort her littlest sister who slowly died in her paws while she could do nothing to help.

In the end, she was the one who left her mother, drifting away, uncertain, unable to stick around. It was hard, and she was coping. The whole reason she left that adoptive family of hers was to try and find the living members of her birth family. Now that she had, she had, in a way, ran away.

Now she wandered back, wondering if she'd find her mother again. She thought she might have scented the familiar woman, but she wasn't 100% certain - perhaps only being there could tell.
