Bearclaw Valley No More.

Set after Leo left Bearclaw Valley, all welcome!

After the moment that she watched Leo and Lusa go Scarlett was quick to turn around and rush down the boulder path. Her eyes slowly blurred her vision because tears were welling up. She loved that pup like her own son and now he was gone! Bet Xan would be ecstatic with the news. Scarlett was in misery. Yes, five pups were a lot to take care of but she loved it. She loved being a mother and she hadn't expected Leo's mother to come to their borders and demand him back. And she had to be her stupid honest self! She couldn't be selfish and she hated that. If she would have lied about the fact their found her son then they would still have Leo.

The fact that she lost a baby that wasn't hers and that she was a bit mad of herself for being a good wolf she was Scarlett started to sniffle. She slumped down in the high grass, not feeling the want of carrying her body any step further. She just wanted to lay down and mourn her loss. She was always so nice?! Why couldn't she just be selfish for once?! She could be more tough. She had to much empathy for others and it bugged her. Now her sad tears turned to more angry tears. Never again was she going to adopt a strangers kid. First Néa left her and now Leo. She had even fed him his milk, that was how tiny he was! That Lusa could rot in her dark forest. Scarlett didn't feel like she was a good mother at all. She hated that Leo had to deal with her. Poor boy. The only adopted pup that stayed was Adlartok. But-- No more. She was fed up with having to say goodbye.
