Wild Berry Meadow full dark no stars

<3 thanks for joining...lol'ed aloud at "fat and crying."

despite the falling rain, vuk's exhausted state caused her to half-doze between her sobs, so that she did not sense terich-mir's approach until he had pushed his muzzle beneath the leaves of the berry bush. a flash of her fangs accompanied a low snarl; she shrank away from the familiar smell of the ridge, comforting though it was, but her gaze soon cleared of its initial fear.

had taggarik sent him after her? had no one missed her absence there? hurt, wary, vuk shook her head so that droplets of water flew 'round, mingling with the water that fell from the skies. she had spoken to no wolf since departing her home; she shifted to reveal more clearly the swell of of her belly, and looked into terich's eyes, lips parting to croak a few rusted syllables.

"h-he ... s..said he w-would kill t...hem," she sobbed, fresh tears springing to her eyes. "n-not going b-back."
