Silvertip Mountain And You Let Her Go

Odette sat still listening to her Uncle Steady speak.  He basically said he needed her.  He said he couldn't imagine life without her.  Something about that small speach made Odie feel better, just the tiniest bit.  It also felt pretty good to know that someone knew now and that someone in this world claimed to need her.  Yet there were more reasons for why she missed Solemn and her Father most of all.  She felt guilty.  They had been there for her, but she had never been able to return their kindness and it hurt.  It just hurt so much to the point where sometimes she felt like her heart would burst.

"I wa noover der fo dem though, Uncle Steady.  Dey wo der fo me dough."  Odie whispered softly, then began to stare sadly at the ground.  "Soomtimes I feel like it my fault."  Odette contiuned with another sob and began to tremble.  Why could the world be so cruel?  Odette wished she knew the answer to that.
