Golden Glade Is anybody out there? Is anybody listening?

Aspen trailed back over the borders, she was tired, and mentally drained. She had spent the night god knows where and even that hadn't helped because she wasn't alone. None other than the bitch herself showed up. As if things couldnt have gotten any worse. Aspen was just done with the world right now. All she wanted to do was go back to her den. Find Alder, and just curl up next to him. No need for words. She just, needed comfort. 

She padded through the trees, the sun barely crawling over the horizon.  She eventually reached the entrance of the tunnels she didn't even hesitate before walking in and working her way through them aimlessly heading towards their den. Though, when she reached it, Alder was no where to be found. Aspen put her nose to the air and found his scent not to be fresh. Where was he.....had he ran like she had... Aspen let out a whine before letting out a howl calling for him. Wherever he may be, she hoped he could hear her. 

She padded back out of the tunnels letting out another loose howl but not as loud as the first. She couldnt help the tears from rolling down her cheek again. She just collapsed in front of tunnel entrance and cried. Not a care as to if anyone was watching. 

She wanted nothing more than to erase the past few days of her life. First finding out about heartha, then running into her worst enemy, and now returning to find Alder gone. Didn't help the clouds were threatening to pour down with rain any second now.
