Sequoia Coast When the past catches up to you

@Leon

Thistle walked along the shores her mind and heart conflicted, but still going strong. She had never understood how her mother had been able to take all the abuse from Fang, until now. She had not realized that when you loved someone it was enough to cripple you indefinitely. She missed her mother, badly and it hurt even more to miss when she would look in the water and see her mother's face. Her mother had been a smaller wolf, but not by much. She had always seemed so much smaller because she was timid and hid herself well.

Unlike her mother though Thistle had a back bone, though in her mother's defense as she had aged she had done well, and her father lords above he was wonderful to her mother, he treated her so well. Thistle smiled as she thought of her mother's words if she knew the quandary her daughter was in, though her mother probably would have just shook her head and said we all make our own choices little cloud we all make our own. She slowly stopped on the shore and sitting to her haunches she let the water ebb and flow across her sandy paws, as she traced patterns in the sand.
