Willow was startled by the sudden voice, having heard nothing but leaves rustling a few seconds ago. She glanced around, but, of course, that action held no oasis. Her dull amber eyes couldn't see a thing. It was weird; like being plunged into fathoms of dark waters, sinking deeper until you broke.
For a moment, Willow wanted to break down sobbing. She remembered her first moment with Cody- standing on the hillside, looking across the miles of forest and to the distant mountains ahead; gray streaks on a watercolor painting. She had realized, right then, how much world was outside of DarkPack. She would never see the beauty of StonePack mountains again, or Cody's dancing yellow eyes. Slipping on ice had taken her freedom. DarkPack had taken more.
And right this moment, she realized how much she wanted to stay with Cody. She wanted to fight for her pack, right by his side. She wanted to fight for StonePack.
"Kodiak?" she called. "I'm StonePack."
