Redhawk Caldera Hearts soar and hearts break

Raissa looked at Fitz with surprise. It had been too long since she had seen him and she had missed him, but it was like their paths were kept separate no matter what. He was starting a new pack? What was wrong with the caldera? Her fiery orange eyes widened as she considered his offer. It was all so sudden and she couldn't help but feel a little hurt that he didn't tell her his plans until now and it showed in her face.

"Did something happen? Did you have a fight with Peregrine or something? Does he know you're leaving?" she asked all at once, not really able to comprehend what was happening. Sure she had wanted to start a pack with him someday, but she was just settling in here, finally having real friends, and now he wanted her to give all that up? What about Fox, and Prima? They were the only real friends she had in a long time and now she had to leave them!

She didn't know what to do, she loved Fitz, but leaving so soon after settling in would be a hard change for her, especially since she thought she had finally found a home that she could feel comfortable in.
