Take me home

Her ears fell back against her head as he spoke. His words weren't anything she didn't already know, but it was still hard to hear them. Her father being gone certainly hurt her the most and she tried to not be this upset about their mother that had already abandoned them, but it was hard. It was the knowledge that her faint and vague memories of their mother were all she would ever have. She couldn't remember her voice or her scent and the only reason she still remembered what she looked like was because she looked so much like Aranea. She had been countless days with her father as he took care of her while she was sick, but she hadn't seen her mother since she was very, very little and now she never would again.

"I know you will..." she said quietly with a soft sigh even though she couldn't really shake her worry or hide it in her eyes. "I just... What if something happens? What if something takes you away?" Her voice broke a little as more tears collected in her eyes that she tried to quickly blink away. She had cried so much today and she really didn't want to cry again, but everything felt so overwhelming. Her paws curled around paw fulls of the fur on his chest as she rested her head on him again, fighting back the little sniffles and stuttering breaths while she tried to hold it together. "I don't want to lose you too..."
