Lost Creek Hollow I know you need words

Father and daughter, nearly identical twins, cried together. Trails of tears on their black fur made dark rivers that glistened in the night. She buried her face into Crowfeather’s chest, wanting so badly to shrink down to the size of a pebble and be forgotten forever.

I will tell you- I will tell you everything you want to know.

There were no questions yet, only raw emotion. But surely, they would come.

You know you are loved. Don’t you?

“Yes,” she croaked like an ugly toad, but the words felt like lies. Though she was cradled by her father, Shadowpup didn’t feel love in that moment. Rather, she felt abandoned. But how could that be when she was in her father’s farms? When he was so near?

Nonsensical feelings made the girl sob anew. The world was a strange place and Shadowpup didn’t quite know how to cope.
