Vikar chose a site close to the river. He went to gather firewood and I started to make a makeshift shelter for us for the night.
When I was done, I sat on a rock by the river and put my toes in the water, trying to decide what I would do next.
All alone, I wrapped my arms around my knees and gazed out in the direction of Ravenrath.
My fear had been forced to take a back seat during estrous, but now that my instincts were finally put to rest, it had returned with fervor.
The Cult had my daughter. It had been far too long since I had seen her, and I was terrified that she could be hurt or worse.
They could use her as an example to either try to force me out of hiding or for their gain. I needed to get back as soon as I could.
I trusted Vikar. It was obvious that he cared for me a and I was truly beginning to care for him too.
