Addison should probably have learned more about the members of her pack, but she often found herself wandering outside of the borders and finding friends outside instead of inside of it. It wasn’t that she didn’t like her pack, she loved the Valley. She just liked to wander, as well. She was around enough to do her pack duties and hopefully please Jefferson - she wanted to get up a little higher in the pack – but also took a lot of time to herself to travel to other packs and territories like Halifax for her own personal reasons. This counted as a personal reason to her, her visit to see Ouija.
Their first meeting had been a little rocky, yes, but there was something about the wolf that had made her want to come and visit him. She had also been fairly bored lately…that was most likely another reason behind her visit. She had nothing else to do without Grace around and she hadn’t had that bad of a time with him in the city. She had been very impressed with his weapons and knowledge, in fact, after she had calmed down a bit; Addison wasn’t one who enjoyed being touched without permission, and sometimes others found that out the hard way.
He had indeed made her the present that he had promised. She wanted to clap her hands together like a pup, but held back; she was rarely given gifts, especially something as special as a gris-gris; she was a lucky girl. She put it around her neck when he instructed her to, and it hung comfortably there. It was a nice weight, not heavy but not so light that she wasn’t aware of it. She had never been one for jewelry or anything of that sort, but this wasn’t like that. It did hang around her neck, but was more simple.
Ouija’s reaction to the tree made her laugh out loud, a surprising sound even to her own ears. When was the last time she had laughed since Grace’s disappearance? Every day seemed more dull than the last without the little girl there to play with and talk to. She was lonely, perhaps, though she refused to admit it. Ouija was a silly wolf, and he was slowly beginning to make her forget about the fact that her cabin was empty without her little sibling there. She could be happy without her. When he reached for her hand and spoke of removing the wood she offered it freely. ”It deserved that spanking. Like a naughty pup…we have to teach it that it doesn’t need to bite people.”
