In all of the excitement from two days earlier at the sudden meeting with X'yrin, Kiara had almost forgotten her grief. Shiloh was dead, Sarain was missing, and Kiara knew in her heart that she would never see them again. However, once she sat down and started thinking, the memories returned with a vengeance and left the expecting mother with an intense amount of sorrow. Now words could describe how she was feeling. What had happened to the grey female? Why was it allowed to happen? Kiara just couldn't help but blame herself. She should have stopped Shiloh from leaving, or at least made her wait until she was fully healed. Kiara replayed the last moment she saw the scarred female alive over and over in her head. She imagined Shiloh's body lying in the snow.
Eventually the arctic wolf couldn't take it anymore. She had to move, to get out of her den and run. But her swollen belly prevented her from doing any meaningful amount of running. Instead, Kiara trotted through Ichika. Her mind was blank and she simply let her feet take her, unguided, through the forest. Cold, wet earth turned to concrete as she reached the old human highway. She turned west and followed the familiar path all the way to New Dawn.
It took a long time for Kiara to reach the boarders and night had already descended. She sat several lengths away from the scent markers, her body not willing move the extra lengths. What was she doing there? Kiara really didn't know. The only wolf she knew in New Dawn was Noah, and they hadn't parted on good terms. Still Kiara raised her muzzle and let loose a howl. It called for the Shawtooth male, and her sorrow was prominent in her voice. Kiara need him, he was her brother and she needed his comfort and love.
