Location: Somewhere far north.
Season: Early winter, five years prior.
Summary:

He knew, in that moment, that he was dead.
Something within Avi broke when her forepaw slammed against the side of his head, shoving him into the dirt.

I'm sorry... he thought, I'm sorry your children are dead. Please don't kill me.

He could feel her breath against his curved ear, hot and steamy. It smelled like ice and fresh meat and the hint of milk. Avi lay silent, hoping that his aquiescence would absolve him of her fury.

"You are carrion. You will always be carrion. Never forget this, child. You belong to us. Don't ever try that stunt again."

Avi shivered slightly. He'd only wanted to see, he'd just wanted to nose at the earth where his five pack-cousins, those who had barely drawn breath before expiring, lay sleeping now. He had not understood why they had not survived, and he had. His brothers had. Yet the brood of the leader coop family had not. He'd only wanted to understand...

I'm sorry. I won't. I'm sorry.

He closed his eyes and silently whispered the litany as her fangs left their mark on his ear.

Vohn and a bit of why he is as messed up as he is.
