Sing My Heart A Lullaby

Cracked pads and weary paws brought her wandering away from Seracia. She had managed to escape along with another slave from amenti during the war, and she knew that sooner or later Canttina would come looking for her. But as long as she kept on the move those chances would slim right? Seracia after all was closer to Valhalla, so that's where Canttina or the other Amentians would go to look first. Avalon had been careful to cover her tracks as well as her scent, it wasn't like you could really define her scent anyway...her coat was matted, dirty, and covered in blood and dirt and other grime from her locked up life. There was no way she could be tracked so easily. She looked warily around, as if expecting her captors to come jumping out of the trees and bushes...but to her relief, there was no scent of Amenti. And she knew their scent well. The girl wondered exactly how much time had passed since her capture, till now. She was at least 31" now, not bigger then Canttina yet but she figured by her second year or sooner she would be at her full 39" of height. Exhausted from her arduous journey, she chose to lie down underneath a willow whose branches would give her some cover. Resting her body against the rough bark, she leaned her right shoulder into it and brought up her left forepaw to lick tenderly at her cracked pads. She had been afraid to seek medical attention from anyone, afraid that they would turn on her like her captor had the first day they met. Seemingly nice until the devil came out and nearly broke her left hind leg. Which, to her, seemed to be healing rather slowly...without medical attention, it would heal slow. She continued to walk with a limp, cuts still on her thigh and the bite marks where Canttina had grabbed her. She remembered everything, and she doubted she would forget the pain of being stolen from her family and what it felt like to no longer be able to trust people...Her mind flicked to her family, the last one she had seen was Odette...and Avalon hoped that Canttina had not gotten to her. Hoped that Odette and the other siblings were doing well and safe, far away from Amenti. Talk like this |
