Not really any replies needed to this thread? I dunno.
From the time Umbra had left his mother's pack, things had only gone downhill. Not only had real wolves been scarce north of the mountains, but the fire had driven everyone, wolves and freaks, to this place. And it had been a downright disaster. And to be honest, Umbra was tired of it. He felt a little sad about leaving Adelaida, but she'd said something about her family having gone south, and if he could find them, he'd find other wolves. Perhaps he'd settle down there, perhaps he'd find some other place. But it was obvious he couldn't remain here. The very presence of the freaks was driving him insane, and there was no place in this area where you could escape them, it seemed.
So he did the only thing he could. With a final, regretful thought of Adelaida, he left the den he'd made and headed south. Somewhere, he was sure, he'd find a place without freaks. A place where he could be himself.
