Holding a bottle in her hand Layla slumped against a tree on the bawn, the empty feeling setting in the stomach in more ways then one. There wouldn't be a special sort of loudness when she returned home tonight, there was no home to return to anyways. Her father had been escorted to the Last Call sept when she had called them earlier.
There would be no more childrens laughter or firespirit chattering to the rat in the big warm home, it had at least been saved. Sooner or later the bodies would have to be taken care of. She just didn't have it in her yet, she felt a deep sadness, or was she just numb now? She had met, courted, and married Oly in 3 short months. A month later their child was born. "Ok that would have been hard to explain to him later on." she mumbled out loud. In the 5 months since their vows she had grown to like the guy, possibly enough to say she might have loved him, Erik she did love though, she would miss his little baby gurgles and smiles.
She had to start over again, that was getting old. The cabin would have to be rebuilt in some fashion or another and the forge would be moved inside. Getting another mate and having another kid was out of the question though, Brenna had worked solidly to get her to agree the first time and there would not be a second time, she had looked Brenna firmly in the eye when she asked for that one. Going under the knife was easy, watching her insides become crow food was a little unsettling however but it was done, there was no more second chance to mate.
Letting a single tear roll down her cheek she polished off the bottle and made herself comfortable against the tree, as good a place as any to sleep, rebuilding and taking care of the bodies could wait til after a nap. Pulling out her phone she sent a text, "I love you daddy, glad you're safe." She slipped the phone away and nodded off.
