Blood-Streaked Reunion

"Let's go for a walk. I owe more time to you guys," she said to the three pups in front of her. She needed more time with them. She wanted them to have same bond she had with her family. With Chevalier's absence and Baldur's dissapearence, she feared that the trio did not think of eachother as family. Alas, Peridot and Chev already had bonding time, but Baldur had not. She would make sure they spent more time together.

 She walked out from the den, expecting all three to be by her side. Lusa walked in a slow pace, enjoying her home for which was most likely the last time. They would leave at night. The ebony coated female made a note in her mind to tell Burke just as she planned. And well after that, she didn't want anything to do with this place. It wasn't that she hated her packmates, it was the pain of memories. The memories of Grimnir. It was too much to bare. Right when she would depart, she would find Hayde so they can all find a new life. Together. Everything seemed to be planned out.

 What was not planned was the thing that happened next. As they all walked, she could hear something nearby, but simply ignored it. If it was prey, she would catch it later. But it wasn't prey. It happened so quickly. Something rammed into her side, making her yelp in shock. The unknown thing pulled her down, making her dark head slam to the ground. her teeth pulled out and she was about to attack, but then the shadow uttered her name. For the first time she looked up. When her vision cleared, the shadow turned into the form of a wolf with familiar amber eyes. Her ears flattened on her skull with disbelief. It was Grimnir.

 She stumbled onto her feet when he released her. She made no move. It was like she was frozen in time. Was this a dream or was it real? She ingnored his words and went closer to him. Her eyes traveled over his body and she leaned closer, touching his snout with her nose. The form did not dissolve or dissapeare. It stayed. Her tail wagged slightly and her ears shot up. "I-it can't be. You're alive?" She came in closer, rubbing her had on his neck. He still stayed there. "I can't beleive it. I thought you were dead. E-everyone did..." She did not pull back, but pushed in closer. If this was a dream, it was the best dream.
