Broken Antler Fen Nightmares

It was cold, too cold.  She wanted to stop, but something told her to keep going until suddenly she found herself on the once special place where she had once stargazed with Steady.  Suddenly before her she saw herself and Steady.  "You have his big heart."  Odie caught Steady say then listened as she heard herself reply innocently if having a big heart was good or bad.

Steady explained.

The scene shifted and now she saw a different memory replaying before her.  One of her and Stoic.  Pain shot through her and a whine escaped her.  Her Brother was quickly at her side licking the wound.  "Okay?"  he asked her.

The scene shifted again.

Her Mothers body lay before her.  Stoic sobbed, tear soaking into his fur.  Then he was running away from her as she stared down horrified at the meat of her Mother that Steady had placed before her... never had she felt so alone in her life.

She ran.

Odette woke with a startled gasp, although soon after sent a worried glance around her, hoping she hadn't woken anyone up.  She wasn't entirely sure, but didn't think so.  She tried to close her eyes again, but more images of the past plagued her mind so instead she carefully and quietly stood before padding away from the others.

The moon shone brightly in the sky and Odie found herself silent, when suddenly an urge shot through ehr and she was running.  Speeding like a bullet.  She ran so fast that she didn't notice the root that stood curled and cruel before her.  She yelped as she tripped, falling forward into a heap.

She began to sob.

Her whole body racked with her sobs, as she trembled in her heap.

She missed her family.
