[html]I went ahead with this. Set after the Silas thread. 
SSWM - 400
Well, Brooklyn wouldn't take no for an answer. Silas had been friendly and she found him funny, from his accent to the way he approached everything. Once more she wondered why the coyotes felt the way they did about wolves. It was obvious that some, like Gael and Silas, were hybrids, with wolf blood running deep into their veins. That meant that the parents had had to have felt some sort of attraction. She refused to believe that everyone was a product of rape, because that meant that there was no more love in the world. She could not fathom a world without some love in it, where everything was about possession and never about sharing. Shaking her head to chase away the shadows of doubt, she looked around curiously. She was far away enough not to attract undue attention and the forest around her seemed to protect her from harm. Sighing, she lay down on her back, watching the cloudy sky through the canopy.
The sea was barely audible now, but Brooklyn could close her eyes and imagine herself on the shore, the sand slightly damp. She wanted it to be summer again, so she could go swimming. The water would be freezing now and really, she didn't exactly feel like it. In a way, Brooklyn mused, she was much older now than when she'd met Gael. What would he think of her now? Would he think her childish or wordly? Would she think him slow or would he be a source of wonder, as he had back when they had first met? It was funny and strange at the same time, to imagine how they had both changed. Had he found his father? Had he found peace in that whole mess? She had. She wanted to forgive her mother for her... well, for having children. Of course she had been angry, but why should she cut ties with the one who had born her because of this? Those puppies were guilty of nothing, nothing at all.
The white female needed someone she could talk to. Strangers and friends were nice, but in her heart, she needed guidance. She needed strength that only family could offer. Naniko. Anu. Mati. Haven. They were all family, bound by life and bloodlines. To Brooklyn, Anu was a better parent than her natural father could ever be. It was that thought which gave her solace.
