Violet

Oh how long it had been since she had laid her eyes on this place. She stood outside the opening to the caverns, her violet gaze staring blankly at the place she had once called home. Her torn ear flicked dismissively. There was no such thing as home now. There was no life, no love, no home. Even as she stood here, the oh so familiar scents of two of her children too obvious around her, she found it hard to care. It had been a struggle to even make it back to stand here as she sun broke over the horizon. The early morning winter chill tugged at her bones, but she made no move to go inside. She stood there, stock still, the breeze tugging at her tattered fur. Alena, former queen, former mother, now felt only deadness looking at this place. Her tail flicked and she turned, ready to make her leave. Her children's scents were here, they were obviously thriving without here. There was no need for her to interrupt that. But, she heard a movement behind her, a sound coming from the caves. She stopped in her tracks, sighing as she turned back around, knowing that if one of them was there they would stop her anyway. She waited to see the reception her sudden appearance after all this time would earn her. Would they care to hear why she had been gone? Would they care that she was now riddled with new, freshly healed scars? Speech Thought Others |
