Golden Glade Get Lonely

They'd never really looked much for Indra, what with the tragedy that had happened — that she had caused — but in a way, that she felt Astik and Tapat had caused, and Jhala had caused, because they shouldn't have been born at all. Maybe Indra'd still be safe and sound with them if they had never happened at all. She had tried her best to live without Indra and she had tried her best to start afresh, but it turned out that there wasn't really such a thing as 'starting anew'. You always carried the remnants of the past with you, no matter where you went. She hated Moonbrook, too, for stopping her from killing the pup at Golden Glade. She could've maybe proven something to her father if she had managed and if he had seen her do it, but now, it was all moot and the only one who'd noticed at all was the one stupid pack mate who'd wanted to stop her.

Needless to say, she hadn't expected her father to find her that day. She wasn't too sure she felt like a walk, because social interaction just seemed like a hassle and she would always just say or do something to offend someone else. She wondered often if she should just leave and be on her own, but somehow, she always stayed because she just wasn't ready to strike out on her own.

Even though she wanted to scream no, she ended up saying, "Sure," though it was clear from the way she said it that she wasn't too enthusiastic about it herself. She waited for him to lead the way, following at the shoulder but not as chatty as she once used to be.
