Panthera and the Ghostly Sister ✓

Chapter Forty

She gets to the house and calls everyone down. “I’ve decided to go wild. I want to. It’s in my blood and it's what I was born to do.” she says after everyone had settled down. Chaos erupts and people keep yelling things. Finally Candance settles them down. “She should be able to go do what she wants.” Candance says. “Even if it means we never see her again!” Connor erupts. Candance shushes him and he shuts up. “I’d come back. I promise.” Panthera says. “Fine!” Connor yells, before storming out of the front door. Panthera flinches and looks at Candance. “It’s fine. He just loves you.” she says. They all hug goodbye and Panthera walks outside. She gets to the edge of the woods and looks back. Candance waves and makes little Katy waves. Leon and Finn wave from Finn's room and Panthera smiles. She shifts and slinks into the forest. She takes off running and leaps over streams and knocked down trees until she catches Connor’s scent. She follows it until she sees him. He’s sitting on a cliff, looking over a lake. She slinks to the edge of the trees and watches him, silently. He chunks a rock in the lake and watches the ripples. She watches him for a while before shifting and walking out. He looks back at her and frowns. “I’m sorry for how I acted.” he says, dropping his head. “It’s fine. I understand.” she replies, sitting next to him. They talk for a while before he yawns. She giggles and stands up. She shifts and he climbs on her back. They take off to the house. When they get there, she stops in the tree line. Connor climbs off and she shifts. They hug, he holds her as though he never wants to let go and she hugs him just as tight. He let’s her go and she turns to the woods and runs, shifting. She runs for a while before she lets herself go.
