The winds were slowing down and the rain finally stopped and all was comign back to normal. For a while Eclipse thought it would not end. She was happy that it was beginning to finish and by tomorrow she would be headed home with Robert. She knew he was worried about his mother and he wanted to be home where he knew. She was thankful he came, but felt bad that he left his home to enter into this horrible storm. She would go as soon as they were permitted. Now she was sitting inside her cousin’s home, with other’s coming and going keeping them fed during the storm and there was nothing Eclipse could help out with. She was not familiar with the land or she would go hunting and scavaging herself, but as she watched the water on the streets ripple with the little rain that was out there now she wondered if it was time to start heading out.
She had gotten to meet her new cousins, surprisingly Colibri had children of her own, which were more cousins. She was pleasantly surprised by that and got excited over them as well. She didn’t feel bad either, not about losing her own because they had theirs and they were surviving, although they had recently gotten sick, some of them and she hoped they would make it. She worried about them in that as Hotaru’s children did not survive their sickness from what she had been told. Just thinking about it brought on a burst of worry from her and she looked back to listen for the sound of Lilin and her puppies, though she could not hear them from the main room. She sat in silence, feeling the need to move, to do something, to be somewhere. This storm had kept her inside for days and it was clear she was not enjoying it now.
