Thistle heard the howl and at first she stared moodily at the ground. She wanted to not even go, she was still a little sore about the whole thing. Not to mention she was fighting to keep out of despair. All of her biological children but one was missing. She had no idea where they were. She knew this happened in nature, but why did it have to happen to her. What else could be taken from the doe colored she wolf. She stomped one foot, and drew a line in the sand. She stared at it through watery eyes. She didn’t want to cross it knowing she could never go back if she did.
The Bay had been her home, her livelihood for a while now. It was where she had loved and lost and birthed. Her blood, tears, everything was hidden here in the recesses and valleys of the bay. Every hope, every demand, every wish all of it lay thick and heavy on the land. She lifted her gaze to the area around her and sniffed one last time the trees and flowers, watched the sand blow up and tumble around in the wind. The waves crashing on the shore called to her like a siren.
How easy would it be to just leave it all behind? Just forget she had ties and family and move on. She gritted her teeth knowing that this was not something she would be able to do. It wasn’t like her to do such a thing.
With a heavy heart, she took one last look around her own little safe haven. Dipping her muzzle down towards the line, she blew it away and turned tail and trotted towards her sons. She watched them at first from a distance, wondering if they even really wanted her to come along. Neither one of them was happy with her obviously nor did they think her opinion mattered, but well they were family and family was family no matter how badly it hurt. She chuffed, but said no more and she nosed herself through the herbs, grasping this and that making up small bundles. Making sure to wrap the more potent things in leaves still green and fresh. It had taken her a few days to find a tree that was still green and pliable for wrapping. This was going to be a long walk.
