Ghastly Woods ravenous recluse

• so datura is going to be dreaming about being with his whole family in the birthing den, bear with me here... and then he wakes up and bolt in this post. you guys can post your exists as necessary. sorry that this took... you know... ages..

He was deaf to the battle that raged above him.

It was dark in his head, but that familiar scent was wrapped around him. Bella was there beside him, as she always was, and she was suckling in this warm scent, too. This was strange. Although he was dreaming, he could hear the truth of this dream ringing in his ears as if it were a tuning fork struck against his past. He inhaled deeply. There were other scents here. He could smell three others. Three others he didn't recognize at all. Suddenly he felt the brush of another body against his. Brother....

But that was strange. He didn't have a brother. It had always just been him and Bella...

Right?

Before he had the chance to puzzle out this strange mystery that had risen to him from the depths of his unconsciousness his dreams were violently disrupted by blunt pain. His mother's paw sunk into his chest briefly and roused his consciousness and then suddenly it was gone again. Golden eyes erupted from underneath golden lids, and suddenly Datura was awake again. Awake in this terrible nightmare.

The gigantic paw moved to find a new foothold and revealed a terrible snarling wolf. Zombie! Datura thought. He didn't waste another second lying there on the ground. When he sprung to his feet, however, his sides seared in pain. Cautiously, his eyes flicked backwards and he saw that he was bleeding. Or... had been bleeding. The blood had sinced dried... but it was still there. And that was enough. Wildly screaming, the poor boy tore out of that terrible forest clearing, praying that home was the direction he was headed in.

Super short end to a long overdue wrap up. <3

Her child’s screams cut through the rage that bound her, and she felt, more than saw the small golden boy fleeing from the forest. With a frustrated snort to the wolf that was trying to pick a fight with her, she gave a final warning growl before turning to walk at a path parallel to her son. She would make sure he got back to the lake in one piece. {end}
