Phoenix Maplewood It was inevitable.

Desna had been around the den her mother stayed in. Each morning she as pay her her a visit now, not wanting the others to think she was gone and away from the pack. She didn't want to be homeless. With light steps she entered the den but it was instantly clear to her, being a hunter, that there was no life anymore in the body of her mother. Instantly tears welled up in her eyes. She trotted forward to Scarlett and snuggled against her body for one last time. It wasn't the same, she wasn't giving off any warmth. Desna started to cry softly because it was only making this more real.

She dragged herself from her mother soon after, feeling weird to lay against her mother's dead body. "Goodbye, Mother. I hope you are at peace now," she whispered before leaving. Instantly she howled to the sky with the grave message. She was crying because she would miss her mother but if Desna was really honest with herself she was actually relieved that her mother wasn't in pain anymore. She looked rather miserable and hopefully this would give her more rest. Desna wished her sister was here, her other sister too, but Sesi had been gone for a long time. The timid girl seemed to have vanished. Desna was thinking of at least seeking out her father to tell him the news.
