my heart hurts ❥

The storms had finally cleared up in Abaven's parts. And everyone could finally return home...after several weeks of disaster and horror. Finally. Even if there was a ton of destruction that had been done. She knew with the amount of strength Abaven had, they could all return to their normal lives. After a clean up, of course. She couldn't help but wonder how they'd get such a ruined place pretty again...but she had faith. The girl would be leaving early though. She wanted to make a stop before she actually explored deeper into destroyed Abaven.
Dirt and mud covered her ankles as she trotted down Abaven's borders, pale green eyes full of no emotion as she inhaled the dirtied air. It didn't hold anything familiar anymore...just the smell of soaked bark and rain. Wren winced and exhaled a cold breath of air, picking up her pace along the invisible border line. It was chilly out here...and it looked almost like a battlefield. Fallen trees with splinters sticking up out of the ground. Rocks thrown and tossed everywhere...puddles of water, uprooted plants. And that horrible breeze that danced in the middle of it all.
The sun also refused to show through the darkened clouds above. So it was almost like living in a nightmare. It sent chills up Wren's spine. But she just kept on going- until she reached the still slightly flooding rapids. The woman halted and took a moment to absorb the moments she had when Abaven was beautiful. The sky was blue and the sun felt so good against her back...and everything was green and pretty.
She remembered when Bass and her sat together beside her den and talked about things. He sang to her, and she told him a story. As if she was talking to her own child! It was nice...though. To be so close to her best friend. To absorb his warmth and lock it in her mind. Wren breathed out softly and made her way down the rapids, eyes searching for her den. But once she found it...it was hard to tell if it was even a den. It was completely smashed, a tree toppled over it and the rock that sheltered her split into two. The inside of the debris was also filled with water.
Wren stopped cold and stared in horror. Tears instantly escaped her eyes, and fell to the already-soaked earth. Her heart sunk into her chest and she felt like collapsing. "No..." The girl slowly dragged herself over, her head hanging as she stared. Finally, she crumbled to the ground and coiled up miserably, shutting her eyes and trying to find comfort in only her curled body.
