Big Salmon Lake Turn at last to home afar

The air rippled around him, pulsing across his cheeks and chest as if to counter his efforts, sending his scent back to where Tegan could easily find it. Titmouse should have known not to wander this far from the woods - he had found the Cerberus, and now his homicidal cousin. All he could do was run. He did not want to fight the other boy, and yet he wanted to keep himself alive and Maegi safe ---

Maegi. She was still in the woods; her brother Ramsey too, the rest of them --

— kicking off the dirt with a new wave of speed, letting his chest burn, his muscles hiss like they were peeling off the bone -

- just cross the hills, just get a little farther to safety, let this rage fueled boy follow him all the way back to the woods.

They would be waiting, they would know what to do.

Exit Tit! Let me know if you want another / if Tegan follows him home.
