Home Is Where I Lay My Head To Sleep

Rudy keeps his promise to her that they would arrive to his family’s dens in quick order. However, Fern is not prepared for the grand scale of Rudy’s home. When she had first spied the spires of stone that jutted into the sky, Fern had wondered what they were. The rolling grass of the plains seem to beckon her closer to the structure as they walk and Fern obliges.

As the grand building, grows bigger and bigger, Fern finds herself stopping dead in her tracks to take in the majesty of it. The gray stone building was covered in green ivy and blooming flowers. The sun bathes the land in warmth and light. It seems that all her fears melt away for a moment as she stands looking at the castle. When Fern’s gaze roams the grounds around the building, they spy gardens and trees. A breathy, “Whoa.” Passes her lips as Fern looks to Rudy. Cracking a smile, she adds, “Nice place.”

There is a scent on the breeze and it is the same one that clings to Rudy’s fur. Fern remembers her mother telling her that there is are rules to visiting pack lands and she hesitates to go any further. The pair are still a safe distance from the border and Fern asks, “Wh… what do I now?” Nervously she shifts from paw to paw, unsure of herself any more. Worry, doubt, and fear coil back up inside her as she looks to Rudy for guidance.
