Alone in a crowded room

The meeting had dispersed and it left Odette with something new to look forward to. The gray, black, and tan six-month-old was going to be living in a new place. It was true that she didn't know as many as Chrysanthe did, but she was going with her adopted mother and that was all it took to make up her mind. She knew that her family was still out there, but she also knew that if she remained on the mainland by herself, the chances of survival were slimmer than not going with Valhalla. Maybe she would come across Gargoyle and Ocena one day. As their pack members were heading back to their dens and getting prepared for the journey, a black female with a limp in one leg approached them. She stuck to her mother's side like Velcro and sniffed the scent of the stranger. Her smell was vaguely familiar, but Odette couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe in time, she would begin to figure out where she knew this female from. She spoke of wanting to be with them until she was well enough to leave and of course Chrysanthe was welcome to the idea. Odette's tail wagged at the responses her mother gave the female. She adored Chrysanthe more then than she had before. However, when the ebony stranger turned her focus on her, her tail stopped wagging. Why was she inquiring about her presence here? What did she know that Odette didn't? It all came surreal to her when Midnight voiced how much she resembled Gargoyle. Odette peeled herself from Chrysanthe's side and softly asked, "You know of Papa?" Her eyes widened and she wondered if the female knew of his whereabouts, but instead she also asked where the Chief had disappeared to. Her head drooped and she looked up to Chrysanthe as she explained Odette's reasons for being here. The young girl returned her gaze to Midnight and spoke after her mother. "Every time I was at the cove, I never saw my family or the members of my father's pack. I was there for almost three months and still no one showed up. I started to explore beyond their den, in hopes of finding some trace of my siblings or my Mama and Papa. I never found them, but I hope they are all right...wherever they are." She looked up to Chrysanthe again and a smile appeared on her face. "I met Mother a season ago and since then, Valhalla has become my home...I don't want to leave." Her tail flicked behind her and she turned her gaze back to Midnight. "She wants me safe, and that's what I want, too." Talk like this |
