Mount Apikuni Water is Sweet, But Blood is Thicker

Poor Addi :( They are all so sad.

Haven was excited, she had been expecting only good news. But something cracked inside her when Maja said dad. What she had just said didn't make Haven happy, or relieved. No it was all wrong. Nobody was supposed to have died. The whole pack was supposed to be alive somewhere, having fun and enjoying life. That was what Haven had told herself all that time after the fire, and the truth sounded more like a lie. The fact that everything would be fine had become fact to Haven, and hearing the news of her father's death as like hearing that the grass wasn't green. She frowned, not sadly, but as if she didn't understand. She simply sat there for a moment, taking it in.

She snapped out of it when Aduin collapsed. She had bigger things to worry about. Her father's death was in the past, she tried to hold on to her own advice, but found it hard. Besides, Ares and Owl were alive she had said. That was good news! She walked to Aduin's side slowly, nudging him back up as he cried. Ok Addi listen, we're ok now alright. We're gonna be fine. Dad's dead ok, we have each other like Maja said. We're all going to be alright. She licked down the hair on his head trying to calm him, then nudged him to his paws. She glanced at Seb and Maja, and mouthed, It's ok, he'll be fine. The grey and white wolf sat beside her brother, letting him be comforted. She herself was grieving inside, but was done with tears. She was done with tears.

The little circle of wolves had become more misshapen, but it still worked. Haven stared at the ground for a moment, remembering her dad happily. She suddenly found that she didn't want to hang around anymore. She wanted to go think on her own. She looked up at her family, I'm going to go for a walk. You guys take care of Aduin, and Seb if you want you can show Maja where we're staying tonight. I'll-i'll be back soon. She gave a half hearted smile and stood up, ready to trudge off in the direction of the woods. The had just been reunited with two siblings, she had a caring boyfriend and a journey ahead of her, yet she didn't want any of it at the moment. She just wanted some peace and quiet.

Exit Haven here C: I'd like to maybe start another thread with just Haven and Maja, so they can catch up and talk.
