Pit Stop to Hell's Gates

The story began to unfold that Odette was not prepared for. She didn't expect such a tale to flow from the boy's lips, especially after just meeting him. For some reason, she listened with rapt attention and began to wonder just how someone could take a person's life without feeling any remorse. He spoke of how he had freed his mother, giving her the chance to be open and unchained to the world by physical bonds. From his point of view, he was the angel of Death for his mother. "You doing that to your mother -- my aunt -- shows that you chose to use power to take away her life." Her eyes watched Kairos with a serious gaze as she rose from her haunches to stand. Slowly, she started to walk left to right, thinking about what he had done. "Normally, pups are raised to think that their parents are the sun and moon. That without them, we would have no reason to exist and that they are our role models." She felt a storm brewing in her chest, one that hadn't been there for a few days. "When they are not there with that power, the drive to show us the life lessons we have to learn, what do we do instead?" She was in mid-step when she looked up at Kairos. "We take the power and the decisions we make to do whatever we need to do with that power is wrapped in one package." Odette wasn't sure if she was speaking nonsense, but the way her cousin had just taken hold of the situation to slay his mother gave her hope that she could do that for her future. Her eyes burned with a new flame and she flicked her tail behind her as she spoke again. "I've been waiting for Mama and Papa to show up, to wrap me in their arms and devour me with hugs and kisses. I have been disappointed for the longest time...even my own siblings haven't been there recently." The young female's heart ached and she pushed herself through the agonizing emotions. "I want to learn how to prevail in my life, how to gain the power, respect, and drive that proves what kind of a wolf I am." Odette inhaled deeply before saying, "I want to be like Papa." Despite not having him around, a part of her still looked up to her father. He was the patriarch of the pack they had around the Cove, even though she didn't see that many members like she used to as a pup. The warm fuzzies were gone, but she wouldn't forget how they felt. Maybe in the future, she would get to feel them again. After she had voiced her opinions, she continued to slowly pace, making a bigger hole in the snow that covered everything around them. "There is so much I don't know, so much I don't understand, and I despise it." She continued to look in front of her as she paced, one paw in front of the other. "I don't think I will be able to know everything from just staying in one place my whole life." Odette sighed and softly said, "I wish I were older...then I could leave without worrying." Her gaze rose to the black male in front of her and she asked, "What was it like, leaving home for the first time and knowing that you wouldn't go back until you chose to kill your mother?"
