Otter Creek Hard on yourself

@Wintersbane

Arlette came down from the mountain range following the cold stream down. The more she moved away from Rising Sun Valley the more conflicted she grew. Surprisingly she wasn't too bothered about leaving Easthollow, but she was leaving Kaito's grave behind. The one she visited every day in Fox's glade. But she knew that if she was going to say, she was never going to get anywhere. Everything reminded her of him, of the cougar attack. When on top of that she had to bring home her younger brother's body she drew a line. She felt like she wasn't able to breathe. She had to go.

So the girl had left. She was not sure where she would go. She justified leaving to find her friend Oryx. But perhaps she had left more for herself than for anyone else. Arlette was still very unsure about her looks and if she would be accepted by other wolves. She didn't bother to worry about ever find somewhere that she would call home since she had not felt at home for a long time. She knew from being with Kaito that a place didn't make a home. The pale female moved away from the fog like a fluid ghost. She could look further ahead now she was at the base of the mountain range, the stream becoming a bit wider.

She knew if she followed this river she would reach Ira's pack. However, knowing that her family member had not seen her like this she was going to make sure to give Kaistleoki a wide berth. She didn't want to tell them what happened and relive those memories again. The small female walked beside the stream, more focussed on possible plants she recognized rather than the route she was walking.
