Into the Ocean

Blessedly, as soon as he was up Lydia was quick to have him lay back down. There was no hesitation as he flopped back down on the skin. It wasn’t nearly as warm as it had been while on top of him, but it still helped. The starry marked boy shivered with the cold ocean breeze as his savior let him know her plan. The destination’s name meant nothing to him, but he did listen. His brain felt fried and the likelihood of him remembering was slim at best.

There was a pack he would be welcomed into, this name might have stuck with him a little better. He nodded weakly, though his strength was returning. A fact made obvious in the way he was able to keep his head up and alert compared to the log he’d been only a few minutes before. He hoped the pack he was heading to was nothing like the once he’d been sent away from. He felt a pang of longing as he thought about his littermates that had not been lucky enough to be sent with him. By now both of them had met their early demise while he was here, finding a new place to live. He was given a new lease on life, something Silas and Solaris would never have.

”Is it warm?” He asked hoarsely as another shiver wracked his tiny frame. He was only sure of one thing: he wanted to be warm again.
