Still I follow heartlines on your hand. Echoes of a city that?s long overgrown. Enola's prediction of their mother's ire made Nizhoni squirm with discomfort. She was probably right, and he didn't want to get reprimanded or cuffed any more. But his sister was bleeding, they couldn't just do nothing! He scuffed his paw against the ground, kicking at the same pebble Enola had knocked about. He was the big brother, it was his job to make sure his brothers and sisters were safe! Guilt gnawed at him, knowing he hadn't done a very good job so far. "Well, we gotta do something, Nols! Maybe Elias or Daedalus or Silveris will have an idea." He hadn't seen their other siblings since early that morning, when they'd all woken up, but they had to be nearby. And a reprimand from them wasn't nearly as scary to think about as one from Momma. For now he was cold and tired and still a little bit scared, and he really wanted to lay down. He could smell his sister's fear in the air as well. "Don't worry, little sister. I'll make sure the eagle doesn't get you ever again." From the bottom of his heart he meant it. From that moment on he swore he'd always have an eye on her, and he'd keep her safe. |
