Her task was done, finally. It hurt still, leaving the first place she had wanted to call home in such a long time. She would visit of course, to see all those that had made her feel like family. The ranch would not be forgotten, and the cows of course would always be in her heart. But the direction she moved in was not a bad one, her nose pointed west, and she ran with all the speed her legs would give her.
The path was worn, and familiar to the timber colored fey. Thankfully she would not have to take it again once dark had fallen. Tonight she would spend her time with Naniko. Her heart beat, pumping her adrenaline concentrated blood to her every inch. It was light and did not miss the weight that had once bore down against it. While her heart beat, her nose told her she was close, making her push harder.
The sound that drifted through the trees almost pushed her beyond her limit, but she controlled her urge to grow wings and leave the ground, if such was possible. She knew where they would be, and headed strait to the large house that Naniko claimed. The blue eyed girl knew that she was calling the entire family, and that it was time to define the new boundaries of the pack.
Not wanting to barge in at full speed she slowed once she sensed the pack gathering. Her stomach tightened with as her nerves rose, but the need to see Naniko kept her stride from faltering. She walked passed the fence that surrounded the mansion. Happy to recognize Savina among the faces of the pack, Anu felt her tail move back and forth. Confident in her position, she moved to sit among them. “Morning.” She smiled, as she settled beside Savina. Eyes always on Nani it was an internal battle to not sit close beside her, and though she was here for her, she was also here for the pack. |
