King Elk Forest -- and the whispers spread like wildfire

she still had not eaten since her return to tindome, and as time went on the girl who was already as insignificant as a cough was wasting away.

but she was too skittish to eat in group settings.  even at the hunt she had felt too surrounded by new blood to face eating the kill they had brought down.

so once again at night, she slipped away from the security of her den.  this heartbreak would not kill her. the appearance of zada had solidified that in her.

quickly, she made her way to the cache, hopefully avoiding anyone who might get in the way.
