She had no clue where she was anymore, it wasn't even like she cared to think about it. Her paws carried her farther and farther, she stopped occasionally to hunt if needed, eatting the raw meat from various smaller animals as she continued. She relized after some time she had made it to Canda. The realization of that didn't make her feel any freer than it did when she was with the pack, it made her ache for the familiarity of the pack. The easy going brotherly bonds with her, she hated what had happened. She turned and headed back her head thumping with a dull ache of longing for the old times, when it was her and Sam. She made her way back slowly, her body aching from such a long time being phased. She heard them, the relief obvious as she timidly thought out.
"Hey... I'm back."
"Leah you do not do that again... who knows what could have happened... I- we need you." Sam said his voice full of emotions.
"I promise I ain't goin anywhere for a long time. Now point me to the damn grub." she said truthfully before turning to phase grabbing up a pair of shorts Sam left behind as he padded away.
She slipped them on and held them up as she ran home jumping into her room and got dressed before running a comb through her hair, pulling out twigs and leaves as she went out for a walk. She hugged her mom once before waving knowing she fully understood the situation. She ran out and headed to Sam's the house quiet except for her soft breathing as she ran. She heard him in her mind, almost calling her like a siren to the beach. She found him there skipping stones over the water as she walked up, her heart was thumping out wildly in her chest as she tried to slow her breathes.
"H-Hey Sam... I kept my promise." she said before sitting next to him.
"But I didn't..." he said in a low growly mumble.
"I know but I'm just- I'm sorry for this running away... I couldn't handle the constant reminders but I just ended up being more lonely as I got farther."
"It's the packs connection, it was keeps us together even when things get rough." he said getting up.
She walked over to him a moment later and wrapped her arms around him, this time it meant something different. It was an apology more than a plea to come back.
