Avannon lay on the ground, where a patch of newly formed grass was beginning to grow. She ran her nose over the green tendrils, breathing in the scent. The scent brought her back to puppyhood, the first time she left the den. She had been startled by the feeling of grass instead of plain dirt and stone on her paw pads. She had tried to bite the offending plants, only to get a taste of bitter plant,instead of the retched up meat (//sorry its gross\\) she was used to. Once used to the ticklish feeling, she had pranced around for a while, ending her play by flopping over on the grass and rolling. Snapping back to the present Avannon chuckled to herself slowly shaking her head. Some memories were so vivid for her, while other blurred and faded away. With ferocity a memory hit her, a male with a beautiful black coat, and eyes like the sun. Her heart lurched both from the beauty of that memory and the pain it brought her " mon beauté. how are you today?" a voice in a deep charming baritone spoke in her mind, sending chills along her spine. In her memory Avannon spoke the familiar response "beau loup, I am fine today, and you?" she heard herself say and then she heard his chuckle. the sound that used to bring her joy, but now sent fear into her heart. Avannon gasped out loud and snarled snapping out of her flashback and forcing her fur to lie flat, as wide eyes scanned the area she lay in. Her breathing slowed as well as her heartrate and she sighed, frustrated with herself. She had worked so hard to forget the pain, to rid herself of the nightmarish flashbacks, to be rid of him. It seemed he would haunt her forever. Defeated, she lay her head on her paws closing her eyes against the sun.
