Stone Circle Why do they leave?

Valette's ears teared up. She was not sure if it was because she was touched by Grayday's words or because she realized that Ezekiel could be dead. Perhaps it was both that mixed together that made her feel such emotions. The young female slowly nodded. Gray was right that Ezekiel would never leave her. He promised. Something really bad must have hold him up, or something that was more important than them. And if not, well then he was now resting in his final place somewhere. She slowly nodded.

Grayday's words did help, they brought some clarity and most of all, a perspective. It was easier to think about it now knowing that another pack mate was certain that Ezekiel would not have left. The same would count for Niita. She would not have left so suddenly either. She nodded slowly. "That helped. Thank you Gray," she spoke and offered him a sad smile. She was young, ambitious and driven, but young. Even if she had been through a lot already that didn't mean it made it easier when she lost someone she loved again. In fact it made it harder.

"Lets hope he will return soon," she spoke. "And if he doesn't that we may find his body and bury it here amongst the stones as his final resting place looking up at the sky." She liked that idea, if such a terrible thing had happened to him. "You should be a counselor," she spoke with a smile. "You are good at this."
