Abandonment

*Zlata* · 03-14-2014, 12:45 PM

The silver babe was not pleased to hear that the adult had not seen her parents. She wanted to call out to them, to howl to the heavens for their return but she knew it would be no use. Her ebony lip began to tremble once more as the one called Novel continued to speak, and was comforted by the warmth of her brothers pelt pressed up against her. She returned the soft kiss to his shoulder and turned back to the woman. She had strength now, in Australis. He would never let her feel lost or forgotten.

Petite chin lifted almost in defiance of the two who had left their children behind. Zlata cleared her throat and moved an ebony paw to brush the leg of her brother. "Aurora wasn't happy with us. She was sad all the time, and I think she went to go find different pups or something. Because she left one day and didn't come back to feed us. Magnus must have gone to find her cuz he loved her more than us anyway. It was like someone was missing and we weren't enough...like they were always looking for someone else. And now theyre gone..."

Silver pools of moonlight, identical to her mothers, lowered to the ground as she stilled her breathing. The soft combing of Australis paw through her fur allowed her to slow her heartbeat and continue speaking to the would-be stranger who stood be for them. She lifted her optical once not and swallowed a sob that threatened to rise in her throat.

"We have never hunted, so we have been eating lotsa berries and grass and stuff." Her belly rumbled at the thought, missing the sweetness of her mothers milk and the warmth that came with its consumption. Had it been weeks? A month? She had lost track of the days, and thus stayed silent on the matter.
