Broken Antler Fen Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

She's a little ways away from the border

Aviana laid upright in the tall grass, her gaze looking into the territory. She had been here for a few hours now, watching. She hadn't seen anyone, but she still didn't make a move. She wasn't sure what she was doing. She was nervous about returning, but she didn't want to stay out here, either. Seb's body language had scared her, as it reminded her exactly of him, but the logical part of her brain told her that Seb wasn't him. 

Unfortunately, the illogical part of her brain was still fighting and not allowing her to simply go home. She wondered if Seb thought she had abandoned them, and it hurt to think he might feel that way. From anyone looking in from the outside, it would have certainly appeared so. Aviana sighed. She hated that she continued to let this fear control her. Just when she thought she was getting the upper hand, it knocked her down again.
