adventure time

When her voice was called out loud, the growing girl startled and scrambled to an upright position, heart pounding in her chest. Her blue eyes cast towards her brother, narrowing slightly in irritation. He had sacred her! But he didn't stand there long, the brown and white boy soon took off again. Huffing slightly, she peeking out and watched at he dashed away from Abaven lands. Eyes grew wide as she lingered at the mouth of the den, shuffling on her paws. She hadn't ever left the lands that their father controlled, but Starling seemed rather intent to drag her out of her comfort zone. He didn't give her much choice either, not even looking back as he left. Knowing she would be alone if she didn't follow, Finch broke out into a run to catch up to him. She fell into pace behind him in her silent way, eyes looking around nervously. She didn't like leaving the protection of Abaven, nor did she like the idea of an adventure. But if she hadn't followed Starling, she would be alone at the den. At least there she wasn't afraid of something coming up behind her.

Her brother led her to a grove, new growth spreading over the soft feeling earth here. Pink blossoms spread everywhere, her jaws falling open as she spun in a slow circle. It was pink and brown for as long as she could see, soft petals drifting to the earth like rain. She had never seen anything so beautiful before, and it nearly swept her off her paws. Her gaze fell down to her brother, tears gathering in her eyes from the pure beauty of this place. "Pretty," she whispered, the word quickly becoming her most used in her very small vocabulary. But this was the first time that her whole body felt the beauty of it. Looking up, a tiny pedal settled on her nose. She froze, a single paw lifting as she tried to gaze at the pink thing. It felt soft against her damp nose, and every so slowly she tipped her head down towards Starling, a true and genuine smile spreading on her lips.
