Blood in the Water - Sparrow and abaven wolves!

The woman ran like she had never run before. The cold winter air was absolutely burning her lungs but still she pressed on, legs trembling every time she put weight on them and the little brown bundle that swung from her jaws occasionally bumping against her. The little warbler Animi flitted ahead, leading the way to the nearest pack he'd been able to find. It had been one heck of a journey though - especially carrying her ever growing daughter. There'd been no other option though, she simply couldn't slow down for the child when there was a very real threat behind them and Caelum didn't know if they were being pursued. They'd been going non stop, only pausing for an extended break when they'd reached the falls and been able to smell a pack not far away. Caelestis had the chance to take a short nap and Caelum had done her best to catch her breath. She didn't know if Animi had actually stopped to talk to anyone or if he'd simply found the pack and returned to her, and she was so tired and concentrated on breathing as she lay there in the snow that she didn't bother asking. They were close. They needed to keep moving. Standing with a crunch on the icy ground, she grimaced when gathering up Caelestis and waking the girl in the process. Couldn't help that now, they were almost to what she hoped would be safety. Marching through the cold landscape, Caelum tried not to think of what had become of Zephyr. He would find them. He had to, if he was alive she knew- well, the man wouldn't stop until he got them back. There was no doubt. Her paws hurt, and her jaw was sore, but the others may have met a much worse fate than this and the pack she was running towards may too if they weren't warned. Finally the roar of water ahead was becoming impossible to ignore, as well as the smell of a pack. Caelum walked all the way to the border before setting down Caelestis and let lose a howl to summon the alpha, as well as anyone at all in this pack who might respond. She needed someone to talk with, now. SPEAK |
