Phoenix Maplewood Remember When

Desna frowned a bit as Nanook declined another of her offered time. She felt her heart sink and let her ears drop. She got the message loud and clear. Nanook didn't want anything to do with her. She felt that burning pit of rejection in her stomach and looked away, not wanting to let Nanook know that she was close to crying about this. Desna swallowed her tears away and looked at Nanook again. "Fine. I get it. You don't want to be around me," she returned to her sister with a scowl.

Desna turned back to the den her mother was using. Her worst fear of Nanook going away was probably going to come true. Her sister didn't even want to talk to her about anything, not even be with her. The only reason Nanook was here was to ask about their mother and where she was going. Desna only feel more hurt now. "Just go. Do your own thing then," she huffed, really hurt, so now she was pushing her sister away too.
