Mercury was slightly baffled by Illusion's answer. Does his father really ignore her? "I hadn't noticed..." he replied after a moment's silence. "But you need to come back now. we're about to leave for the mountains, and Father says if you don't come, we'll leave you. Please come with me, Illusion. I don't want to leave you, so doesn't Thunder and Snow and Mother."

[Colorpaw<3]

Illusion let a cry escape her and she frowned, slowly standing up. "He doesn't care if he has to leave me." she whispered and gently put her head against Mercury's fur. "You can take me back. I don't want to go though." she said, her voice molding back into it's dead and hollow shape. She sighed and licked his shoulder.

[houndjaw]

Mercury fet his heart wretch for his sister, but he simply licked her head and began ot trot away. "C'mon, but we have to hurry." The wolf spoke gravely, his pace slowly than when he had been lookign for her.

[Colorpaw<3]

Illusion sighed and turned her gaze down to the ground, slowly trotting after him. "Will they be mad at me?" she asked softly, a frown making its way back onto her delicate face.

[houndjaw]

Mercury secretly glanced at Illusions, then, in his lightest tone, "Maybe not. I mean, I can just say you were huntign something, and since prey is so little now, you couldn't let it go." He shrugged as he walked.

[Colorpaw<3]

"I don't have any prey with me though." Illusion pointed out and sighed. "I just won't say anything actually." she said, this time more to herself. She cocked her head to the side before hurrying up to her adopted brother's side.

[houndjaw]

Mercury snorted. "I'll just say I was being a jerk and came stomping up to you and I scared away whatever you were hunting."

[Colorpaw<3]

"No, you don't need to do that for me. Don't." Illusion said, a little stern. She sighed and licked her nose, sighing once they got closer to their family.

[houndjaw]

Mercury sighed. "Fine." he barked as they exited the trees, blistering sunlight hitting hisface as he squinted to see his family. Snow leapt up to intercept them, waggign her tail frantically, while Father was looking outraged. Not good,

Snow smield at Illusion and licked her face happily. "We thought we were going to have to leave you!"

Grim watched fro ma distance, eyes narrowed.

[Colorpaw<3]

Illusion sighed, only taking a glance at her father before she turned to her sister who was licking her face. She winced and licked her sister's forehead in return. "Yeah." she said quietly, shrugging her shoulders.

Thunder barked and smiled happily, running up to Illusion with Snow. "Illusion! You made it back." he said and smiled slightly.

After hearing all of the excited cries, Blossom slowly heaved herself up and walked out of thier den. When she saw Illusion, she smiled wide and ran over to her, almost as quick as her pups had. "Illusion!" she said excitedly and started licking her adopted pup's face along with Snow.
