all i see is a ghost of the past

Tallulah walked around Avalon's territory, keeping mind of the patrol and also the distance. She entered what the locals called... the Soulless Forest. Far braver than some or perhaps ignorant of the supernatural, the girl walked in without a care. The thick mist swirled around her paws when she stepped, breaking up after each stomp only to convene again on her location. Blue-brown eyes glanced around, only to stop and focus when someone was openly staring at her through the fog.

She did not blink. She did not call out. Not at first, anyway. She openly stared back, confused as to why he was here. Tallulah had left him behind to watch out for Pa. No sooner did that hit her mind, did her legs begin to shake. No... Pa was fine, wasn't he? She knew she shouldn't have left him alone. His daughter was all he had, and she had taken that away from him. "Cass?" she finally spoke, the fog becoming too sensitive and dense to grab hold of him for a long time. Was this a trick?

Was this one of those will-o-the-wisps that Pa told her about?

"speech here"
