Sun Mote Copse When the world went long.

They really left her.  All of them.

The pounding in her ears grew louder the longer she sat.  She couldn't even cry... she was just numb.  It was a secret fear she carried, but not one she'd ever thought would actually happen.  Not like this.  She knew it didn't make sense, and that her parents and brother would never actually abandon her.  But rational thought wasn't something in large supply when she found herself completely alone and with no clue where to begin looking.

She was drenched, hungry, and exhausted, but she didn't move.  Towhee was obviously gone.  There was no follow up call, and slowly Fennec stood.  Her mind was blank; instinctually, though, she began to walk.

She couldn't stay here.  She didn't know when the water would stop but she remembered how worried Towhee had been.  She needed higher ground, and from all of her trips as a kid, she knew where to find it.  Maybe they'd come back, maybe they wouldn't.  Maybe she'd starve before they did.  Either way, she couldn't just sit here and wait.  Slowly, she began to make her way north.

feel free to skip me until they run into her! Or, if they don't, until I just wave my hands and say she teleported there magically
