The Heartwood graunsheika

They had went from the island, passed open land and into the bleeding forest. Now they had opened through more open plains and flatlands into another forest. This one was far less gloomy and dark then the last. It was littered in smaller, younger trees, some which had white trunks with black markings that Malakai found quite pretty. Vibrant golden leaves topped them, with the autumn season and between dotted spruces which mimicked those of home. 

It was a quaint forest and yet those few pleasant quiet moments would not last. Mom spoke of returning for dad and Judah while they stayed here with grandma. Kai's ears perked, opening his mouth to ask if he could join her. He missed his twin so dearly! Not having him at his side was like loosing a limb, though he may never admit it. Then, Dinah cut in before the words could leave his mouth. So instead... The only one that's ruining anything is you with your constant whining. He seethes, given along with a flash of clenched teeth with his utter disgust of the words she speaks. Look at her! She who spends so much time trying to get those little devils to like her, even when they attacked a holy man for no good reason! And now, how quick she is to cast aside her own flesh and blood! 

His sun and moon eyes shot hard and cold onto Ava and Ana. They were ruining this family! Could they not see!? One attacks a noble man out of no where, one having bit dad before. They were causing a rift between their parents. Constant trouble makers! They were tearing them apart! They had been happy- once, until them. 

Ahead came the large and familiar figure of their grandma- black, white and red coat standing out proudly. She comes and mother rushes to her, explaining it all, leaving the four pups to watch and listen as it is all spoken allowed and Malakai feels the strength of their family crumbling.
