Fox's Glade i had held it a world away

Mona was quick to assure her that her grieving was alright. It wasn't really something that she needed to hear. It wasn't truthfully a grieving process that she was going through. It was almost as though she felt nothing for the loss of her brother, but she had seen what it had done to her family. Piper had grown into the stage where things were still being discovered, and her emotions often caused her more trouble than she cared to admit. Oftentimes, she did not understand why she felt the way that she did, and she rarely knew how to cope with those feelings.

As it was, Lucas was missing and she had seen a significant change in their entire family dynamic. It wasn't that she didn't miss him – she did – but she wanted to feel as though she was contributing to his return home. Sitting on the sidelines with nothing to occupy her time was not the way she liked to handle things. She was a doer and it was not in her capacity with her familial ties. She had debated breaking those ties for a short while, but she would never divulge this information to Mona.

Once they had neared the woods, the red woman turned to her with an excited inquiry that caused Piper to smile. She nodded her head eagerly and instinctively hunkered down in preparation. The young Redleaf could not help but to feel excited at the prospect of finding the fox that Mona had told her about. Perhaps, she could talk to him and he would help her to understand what she needed to do in order to bring her brother back home.
