i'm Comin' Home

The first one to come to his howl was Twig, the one that he wanted to see the most. The small wolf ran to him, wrapping her forelegs around his neck. Had she always been so small or had he gotten larger? The lanky boy sat and pulled his aunt close with one white foreleg. "Aunt Twig... my curse is gone." He nuzzled into the top of her head. "I went to the north and the wolves there told me that the north freezes curses. It's gone." There was such thick relief in his voice. He felt his eyes tear up a bit as he pulled the small fae even more tightly against him.

Pulling back a bit, the slender boy looked down at his aunt. Ears tucked against his skull for a moment. "I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'll be around more now." Now that there was no chance of his curse latching onto the little wolf and making her die, he wouldn't leave her side.
