We can never leave her behind

Charlie had been sitting outside, watching the sky when his father’s call for not just him, but all of his siblings had been heard. He blinked, a bit surprised at the tone in his voice. Had something happened? He had known that his mother wasn’t doing well, and had seen that she had less energy than before. Charlie furrowed his brow. Was this a call for all of them so they could make her feel better? Charlie took off for the room they were sharing, unaware of what he’d be walking into.

When he arrived Vanta was already there, calling for their mom. Oh, was she hiding? Charlie grinned a little at this, looking around the room as his tail started to wag. His father’s solemn expression had been missed for the moment as he padded to one side of the room and checked behind a piece of furniture. “You’re sure she’s hiding in here Vanta? Maybe we have to search the whole castle for her!” He didn’t see a lot of places she could hide in this room, so maybe she was in another one?

"Speech," 'Thought.'
