The longer Fin went without saying another, the harder it was for her to come up with a way to get back into the conversation. She still felt angry, and in her experience, the only way to get rid of such emotions were to expel them either verbally or physically. But there was nothing else she could say to him. He knew she was mad, he knew why, and she knew there was nothing he could say or do that would fix this. Not then, anyway. So it seemed they were at a stalemate, which Fin accepted with a deep breath and a stubborn stare down at her paws.
"I want you to leave," Fin said finally after the silence stretched into minutes between them. Her voice shook as she spoke, and unbidden the tears came to her eyes just as a lump formed in her throat. She hated this, hated every word. And yet, she could see no other way. Her faith and her trust in him were gone. In any other scenario, she would have run for her life from this madness, but she couldn't. The Caldera was her home now, Peregrine and Fox and their future litter her entire life. It was bitterness that inspired her words, but her instinct for survival (no matter how flawed it may be) that pushed them forth from her tongue.
