Heartleaf Creek Lost princess - Printable Version

There was still a lot to do to get the place they'd decided to settle ready as they became a pack. The young Valle girl was excited to be part if a pack again. She felt a little lost not having one since it had been the only thing she'd known since she was born. Though she did worry a little.

Knowing her brother and cousin and how hard headed they could be. Sharlee fully expected there to be some bumps along the way but she hoped that with her help things would go smoothly. They were creating something completely different from what they knew but Sharlee was sure they were up for the task.

She'd been down by the creek getting a drink after her hunt. The rabbit she'd caught laying a very short distance away. A smile crossed her maw when she heard Modesto's call. Quickly she picked up the rabbit and ran to meet the older woman. When she finally reached her she dropped her rabbit at her feet and called back, "Modesto, I'm here."

Sharlee had heard that Modesto was with them but hadn't had the chance of running into her. She was glad to see that the older woman had made it and wasn't lost out there without anyone. The distance was closed between them before Modesto spoke in regards to how she was doing. "Much better than I was when I first arrived here." Sharlee remembered those first few days they'd been rough for the young Valle.

"Then you probably know of their plans?" Sharlee couldn't imagine her brother or Viorel not saying something to Modesto about what they wanted to dom The younger Valle wasn't surprised when she was asked if she was alright with it all. "I wasn't at first," she said sitting back on her haunches, "But after speaking with Vi I am okay with it. I'm even looking forward to staying here and starting something of our own." Aa she spoke the last she realized that the older woman might not be so okay with it. "How do you feel about everything?"

Modesto had been told of Vayko and Viorel's plans as indicated by her aunts nod. Sharlee wasn't surprised since she doubted either boy would be able to contain themselves about the news. Ot was a big decision and not one to be taken lightly. Sharlee believed that her cousin and brother had the gumption to do it themselves. Still Modesto had lived under the old ways her whole life, this new way of living might be good for the older woman.

Modesto for her part shared easily. What she said first brought cause some sadness in the teens features. "I didn't want to at first but the more they talked about it the more I started to like the idea." It was true lthat she hadn't like the idea at all at first but she had started to think it was a good idea.

The next thing that Modesto said was the thing they were all thinking "Yes I think that was most of our that then we decided to stay and make something for ourselves. We ^can't continue like we need a place to call home."

Sharlee admitted to her aunt that she hadn't liked the idea of staying and starting a new pack. She was so used to the way things were before that she didn't know anything else and was a little afraid to do something different. In the months that they had been living as a band doing what they wanted when they wanted and most importantly how they wanted that was something she couldn't ignore. Sharlee also realized that finding her way back home would be nearly impossible. She wouldn't ever forget those that weren't with her and that were just as important as those who were with her.

Sharlee smiled, it seemed Modesto understood the things that she did. "We shall and we will make the best of the situation that we have been put into." It was what they had left after what the two-legged creatures had done to them. "We can make our new pack great even if it's not our pack at the Estuary." Sharlee sort of felt she had to stay positive cause she thought she had to be to make it through.

The young Valle laughed at her aunts words. "You might be on to something," she said giving her aunt an affectionate bump on her shoulder. "At least the fish might taste better." On a more serious note though she said, "I'm not sure but it might be worth asking one of the locals."

It was still so soon after she'd woken up in the forest and realized she would probably never see her home again. Somedays it was hard and some a little easier. Still she felt she needed to stay positive nor only for herself but she had to for Viorel as well. She was going to be his advisor and it was her job to support him. At least in creating a pack in this place.

There surely was plenty to miss about the ocean and the beach. Modesto missed the salty taste of the air. "The sand between your toes." She remembered the way that felt well especially with the waves washing over her paws. "If he didn't see it then we must be further from home than we thought." Now she wanted to know how far they actually were. "It might be best to send out some scouts out. Even if they didn't find the sea they could tell us more about this place we've ended up in." Sharlee face changed to a thoughtful expression as she thought about the two women that had joined them. "Honestly, I don't know much about either but I understand that Clover is a healer which we definitely need. Vanadis seems to want to help where she can." Sharlee felt only time would tell.
