Broken Antler Fen Teach Me

I hope a surprise thread is okay @Sebastian.  <3

 

It was late afternoon and Odie found herself wondering around the Fen.  She was thinking about her old life at Silvertip.  None of the bad times, but the good times.  The day that she had gone swimming with Stoic, Adeline and her Mother.  That was a day that she would never forget.  Slowly she found herself starting to come around.  Solemn, her Mother and her Father were never coming back, but she would always remember them.  They would always be with her in her heart and one day she hoped that her whole family could be reunited after death.

 

The thought of death no longer scared her as much as it used to.  Death was many things, such as, unpredictable, sad and cruel.  Yet it was a part of life.  You lived and you died, it was as clear as the blue sky.  Still sometimes she wished that death had left her family alone.  Maybe it would have been better that way.  Maybe all of her littermates, her Mother, her Father, June and Mason, possibly even Steady could have all had a happily ever after together.  She was not naive though and stopped her thoughts as soon as she thought that.  That had happened in the past and although she would still mourn for ever single one of them, she had to focus on the present and future.  She had to learn the basics of survival.

Odette howled for Sebastian.

It was the first time that the pup had tried to howl, for she had never really had a good chance to try it before.  Her howl was wobbly at first, but as she contiuned it grew stronger, more powerful.  It surprised her.  Slowly her howl ceased to an end and she waited.  She wanted to know how to hunt and how to survive for her pack and some of her own personal reasons, that she was not entirely sure if she wanted to go through with.  She wanted to find her family.  Her siblings.  Although she was unsure if Adeline was still alive, it was a possibility.  Addy had been a fighter from the very beginning, so had Stoic.  They had to still be alive, just had to be.  Who knew though... maybe they weren't.  Only time could truelly tell.
