Mother was not coming back. The boy had quickly picked himself up, put on a straight face and run. Mother was not coming back. Father was not coming back. Solemn was not coming back. Addie was gone, and Oddie was loved. He had no place there. Oddie would be safe, that man could take care of her, but he could not stay. They had eaten his mother and he could not forget that. The boy felt no attraction to the forest he used to explore. All he could think of was the rotting corpses of his family, and the wolves tearing apart the remains. That was not his family.
He felt no caution when he walked over the territory line, but at once felt out of place in the world beyond. Mother had always let him wander, but never without her watching close by. Mother is dead. With that thought, his small legs carried him away from the mountian. He could not go fast, he was still malnourished and tired but he would not turn back. He couldn't.
