Fox's Glade Yesterday

@Nanook :)

Vespera was now a lone wolf, she left Easthollow feeling bitter and betrayed but it was her decision to make. The girl traveled down the slopes of the outside of Easthollow's territory, she had no idea where to go, she had no idea what she could do now. The air was cold and nipped at her furs and stung her scar with each breath coming out like a puff of smoke. Though she didn't mind the cold for her twisting emotions kept her hot and bothered as she traveled into the glade, the girl kept her ears back and her eyes forward and her brows knitted. The glade that she had entered wasn't too far from the Easthollow territory, in fact, she was walking memory lane because it was here that she met Valette and joined the pack when she was a wandering soul with no purpose. Vespera stopped in her tracks, the feeling of nostalgia overtook her senses for the place she stopped was all too familiar, the girl slid her gaze to a certain snow patch under a tree.

This is where she met the Matriarch.

Her bitter filled eyes softened and her heart pounded, she could just picture it like her eyes were a projector or there was a hologram there reenacting the entire scene word for word, and movement by movement. Vespera dragged her paws onto the patch and looked down at her feet and stared at them for a long time. The longer she stared, the more she noticed that raindrops were falling onto them and staining her fur.

But those weren't raindrops, those were her tears.

The exiled wolf's eyes were lined with water as they slowly rolled down her face and into the snow, her eyes looked like they were underwater and her face was stained with hurt as the girl sniffled. Vespera plopped down on her haunches with her head hanging low as she quietly sobbed to herself in the place where it all began.
