It was far later than Kiara had anticipated her return to be. Earlier that day Kiara had to fulfill her duties as the packs Ikusei by watching of Jace's puppy, Dalgina. She had been a puppy who was full of energy, although she wasn't nearly as bad as Sarian had been at her age. Sarian was a little older and easier to handle, although the chew toy Kiara had gotten her was a big help. After watching Dalgina for most of the day Kiara had decided to take a nap in the woods. The forest was one place Kiara really felt at home, even Amy's attack hadn't taken that away from her.
When the snow wolf finally woke up the sun had already set and the hour had drawn late. Kiara had walked back to the Trenton apartments as fast as her injured body would go. The scars stretched and complained the whole way, but at least none of the broke open. Wearily the alabaster female pushed open the main door and headed up the flight of stairs. She didn't care if the wood creaked noisily under her paws, she only wanted to get back to the apartment.
Unfortunately, when Kiara reached the door to Shiloh's apartment the wooden barrier was completely closed. Kiara must have closed it when she left earlier that day, making it impossible for her to return. The snow wolf sat down, perplexed at the situation. If she howled or tried to call for help then she would wake everyone up, including Sarain and the neighbors. That was something Kiara refused to do. So instead began to scratch at the door, her long claws gently scraping the wooden surface. She bent her head low and began to whine softly, trying to coax someone in the apartment to open the door for her without waking the whole complex. She would repeat these two patterns until someone opened the door or until she fell asleep...again.
