His Weakness
I flee the pack house, anger and hurt propelling me into the forest. My fight with Cree replays in my mind, each harsh word a fresh wound. I storm through the trees, not caring where my feet take me, only that I need to find my family. The dense forest closes in around me, the many paths now a confusing tangle. Hours pass and the sky darkens, a cold realization settling in my chest. I am lost, like always.
A chill wind whips through the trees, carrying whispers of approaching danger. The forest grows unnaturally still, as if holding its breath. Shadows lengthen and twist, taking on grotesque shapes in the fading light. An owl's mournful hoot echoes in the distance, a warning cry.
