Blacktail Deer Plateau iii. time flies

Laid out in simple terms, Dawn could understand what, exactly, had driven Khoe to do all she had. After a moment's thought, Dawn remarked, " She was selfish; preoccupied with the idea of being a mother, but not caring much for whatever came after." She settled her paws on her head, tiredness held at bay by the working of her mind. It was better, then, that the woman had left; Dawn would do best to strike her form her mind. Her gaze fell to her father again, asking a second later, voice soft "What did you tell them? Do you think that she'll come back for them?" She asked, wondering if the woman would realize just how crappy a parent she had been and crawl back seeking forgiveness. She hated Khoe, hated her for her siblings, hated her for ruining the perfect family Dawn had wanted for her siblings. But their family was fractured too; it wasn't as messy as her's, but the potential for them to grow up with the complete family Dawn had dreamed of as a pup was gone.
