Black sheep in the crowd [pack meeting]

Valeriya was covered in burs. Not simply one or two here or there, but covered. From her ears to the tip of her tail, the girl was one solid mat. It twinged and pulled at her fur, but instead of scared or sad she was fuming with anger. Mommy said that there were bears and mountain lions and horses and lions out in the world, and you could find them if you looked hard enough. Well Mommy had lied, because Val had looked and looked and looked! And all she'd found was a few brambles and a gods-cursed bur thicket! The auburn fae grumbled under her breath, looking for anyone who might be able to help. She'd tried to get the brambles out herself, but she'd only gotten frustrated and tried to pull out her fur instead, figuring it would grow back, but it hurt too much after a while. And when she was back in camp, but she couldn't find anyone! This had easily been the worst day of her life. So she'd kept walking and walking, figuring she'd find someone eventually. Finally, Val rounded a bend and saw more wolves in one place than she'd ever seen before. Her tiny jaw dropped and her eyes went wide. Vaughan had been in charge since Mommy wasn't feeling well, and now he seemed to be talking to everyone about some really important stuff. In a moment of abject horror, Val realized she'd probably missed out on something important again. Mommy's gonna be so mad! The young girl spotted her siblings in the crowd and, mindless of her ridiculous appearance, and ran forward. She bumped the legs and hips of those she could not name, trod on tails and paws, all while muttering half-hearted apologies under her breath. In a huff she skidded to a stop at Svet's side. She whispered under her breath, "What'd I miss?" "Talk" "You" Think |
