[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

how could you just walk away and leave me here?

For Atbash, it had been, what... three or four months now that she's been without her littermates? Atbash still wasn't entirely happy with that and wishes things were different, but the longing for them to be around her wasn't present so much anymore; Snowbound filled that hole. Snowbound was like one big family to her and she was happy to be here. But of course, just like Melantha, just as she was beginning to get settled, humans started terrorizing the territory. Atbash never had any experiences with humans prior to what was happening now, but she knew a lot of other people hated them - and for good reason, too.

Atbash wasn't going to leave Snowbound despite the conditions. Not because she was completely attached to the place, but because she learned that Caesar lived in The Typhoon and she couldn't go there. Not without worrying about him constantly hunting her down and worrying that he'd kill her in her sleep. But that didn't mean she wasn't going to help anybody pack, that'd be rude. Just because she was staying here didn't mean everyone else had to. "I can help if need be, too." Atbash offered as she came up beside Melantha, her head lowered slightly.
