▹▹▹▹//Last paragraph is the important one if you don't want to read everything c:
Her father had left her. Again. After he had sworn! After he had promised! Wasn't it bad the first time when he had disappeared for what felt like months? Wasn't it bad enough he had left her with a total stranger- a man that he was familiar with, but she was not? Even if she had grown used to the arrangement, how could he? Such bitter feelings were not typically something that burned inside Clementine's little chest. But she was bitter, she was oh-so bitter, and she was angry. At first, she hadn't thought anything of it. At first, she had been worried. He had left in the morning as he always did after making sure she had breakfast, going to attend to his duties in the Clan. With her lungs having been so poor as of late with the changing of the season, it was little surprise that she had stayed inside and occupied herself otherwise.
But then he didn't come back. At first it was a day, then two. And then Clementine knew she couldn't sit still any longer. She didn't know anyone else in Sunhaven where he had moved them; there was no one that she could depend upon but herself. Even then, this was perhaps the stupidest and craziest thing that she had ever done. Pierce would have killed her, yet she would almost rather accept that then to wonder why she wasn't good enough for him. It had been a little difficult to pick up her father's trail at first, but once she had found it, she knew there was no turning back. She was going to find him, one way or another, and if that meant his trip took longer than he thought, or he had been whisked away into some grand idea of moving them again, she would know. Regardless, the travel was hard on her small body, and honestly terrifying to be doing something like this alone, but she had persisted and found that the closer she got, the stronger the presence of her father was. It was... oddly comforting, really, despite the bumps and noises on the path as she went, which ultimately led her here.
There was no denying the clear scented markings of a border now that she stood in front of, a large grassy plain beholding her with tall building-like structures in the distance. Her breathes wheezed sharply in her chest as she finally brought herself to stand still and sit, as much as her paws jittered with fears and nerves, her bright gaze quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find him, trying to even get a glimpse of him somewhere. "I-i-i"she began in a soft, whispered stutter, her voice barely carrying. She stopped, then took a deep breath in, trying to force her voice as loud as it would go, breathy and light. "I-i'm looking for my father. His.. His name is Pierce... Is he here?"Clementine held her breath, hoping that someone heard her, and at the same time, hoping that someone didn't, quickly trying to straighten herself up and look as presentable as possible, stiff and rigid as she waited. Her small little body nearly huddled against some tall stalks of grass, as if she just wished she could disappear on the spot.
