Tell me sweet little lies

His gaze began to slowly refocus even though the dull, aching pain that radiated from his cheek kept his teeth clenched. He panted through his teeth and the adrenaline pumping through his veins began to dissipate, leaving his stocky form trembling lightly with shock. His eyes connected with his sister's and for a moment he struggled with how to respond. He wanted to take it all back, he wanted to erase this entire day from history, but he couldn't. What was done was done and now he and his only sibling stood across from each other bloodied and injured.
He barely heard her response before she took off into the trees and he stood there with his mouth agape, wanting to call out to her, but unable to find the words. Memento's voice pulled his eyes down to her and his ears folded back with shame. He didn't want the young girl to see him like this. He especially didn't want her to see her own mother like this. Guilt gripped him and at her pleading for him to go after her he looked toward where she had disappeared into the trees. "Damn it..." he cursed quietly under his breath before a heavy sigh passed his lips. He looked back to Meme for a moment, trying his best to remain as calm as he could despite the panic filling his chest. "Stay here, okay? Stay in the den, I'll go find her. Just... Just don't go anywhere, okay?"
He didn't wait for her to answer before be turned and ran off after his sister. At this point he didn't know if this was going to make things better or worse, but he couldn't deny Memento's pleading for him to go find her. All he could do at this point was try to piece things back together - if for no other reason than for this pup's sake.
