Bye Bye Butterfree

Twig barely heard the voice she was so far away, but there was no mistaking who it was that called. Her heart clenched as she dropped everything and ran for her ‘nephew.’ She knew she could never be the boy’s mother, and she’d have been a piss poor one even if she was, but she felt such a strong affection for them. Twig would have done anything to see them smile again. Beat was progressing, she’d seen him smile and was watching him grow and blossom into the wolf she knew that he could be.

When she lay eyes on Tempo she realized how much Beat had grown. Where his brother was thin and obviously under the stress of his worried Beat looked more care free. He didn’t hold the purple bags under his eyes any longer and he was nearer the wolf he should have had the misfortune not clung to him and their family. As soon as she looked at him he declared his desire to keep away from Abaven.

Twig too felt the hurt of that statement, but he looked just like Beat did. He still clung to his ‘curse’ as his brother had. The thought pained her as much as losing him again. Tears welled up in her eyes as she lowered herself to her haunches and leaned against Beat’s dual toned body. She was speechless but her emotions lay obvious on her features.
