"So its just us now..." Damian rested his head atop of her small knees and softly wheezed a small purr. Lia tried her best to keep the tears from her eyes as she traced the cracks on Damian's skull. Despite how turmoiled she was it was soothing to feel the bumpy texture against her fingers. The texture was rough and pricking her fingers gently. But it brought her comfort. It reminded her that Vex was not gone. But taken. With shaky hands she tried to stop the rush of tears. She could not calm herself or her shaky breaths as her heart pulse with fear at the realization. She would not just need the courage to go look for him. But the courage to face the one who has taken Vex. ................ I highly recommend you read the first book 'Her Wendigo'. :)
