i'll show thee the way

Mara was so happy that the girl agreed to stay that she almost jumped for joy. Containing her relief she started planning everything out in her head. First she would get the Runt's leg stabilized and healing, then she would ask Mordecai if it was alright, then once she got Runt settled in her den, she could go find Runt's friend. Everything would be fine!

"Of course I'll go tell your friend! But first, I have to help you." she said, walking towards the very back of the cave to get some cobwebs and dropped them near Runt's head.

"Here, you can press this to your ankle to stop the bleeding. I would do it, but I wont know how much it hurts." She explained before starting to leave the cave to get some more supplies.

"I'm going to get stuff for a splint, do you need anymore food? Water?" she asked, eager to do something to help the poor girl. She couldn't believe her mom sold her. What a terrible thing to do. Sure her mom drove her off, but that was the law of her pack. Runt's mom had a choice.
