Hell to pay

She didn't dare switch her eyes to Bass, but an ear did twitch in his direction, perhaps a silent plea for help as her mothers full anger descended upon her. There wasn't the molten fire she expected however, instead there was ice, so cold it burned as her mothers voice asked her softly, deadly, if she knew why she was in trouble. Her ears flattened against her skull and she held back a whimper. Her tail was about as tightly pulled into her as any wolf could manage and keeping her head up high was a challenge, through one she took on any way.

She took a deep breath, uncertain if her answer would make matters worth.. yet knowing her silence or a lie would, and since she couldn't (and wouldn't) change the past, her truth was all she could say. “Because I sneaked out of Abaven to see Rhythm” she sure as hell hoped her mother knew it was both sneaking out and seeing Rhythm, if not she was digging her own grave.
