Making a Bond

Katara curled up beside Leilani and began grooming the top of her head as she placed her paw over Leilani's back. She could tell that the little one was scared and wanted to help ease her fear. She nestled closer to the little one and rested her head next to Leilani's. "I'm right here little one...I'm not going anywhere" she stated telepathically as she nudged Leilani's snout with her own.

Leilani was so confused.  She was going to sprint away from Tara until she saw her shift into a beautiful wolf.  She tilted her head to the side staring into her eyes when she heard her voice in her head.  She laid on all fours whimpering laying her head on her front paws.

Katara knelt down in front of Leilani and gently scratched her behind the ears "It's alright little one...I'm right here" she stated softly and she slowly rose to her feet. Her body began glowing and when the glowing faded she was standing on four paws as a snow white wolf. "You don't have to be afraid little one...I'll be here to help you every step of the way" she responded telepathically as she nudged her snout against Leilani's.

Leilani looked at her puzzled and took the stick from her.  She went over to the tree and started whacking it.  At first she just hit it lightly a few times until suddenly she felt a rage build up inside of her and started hitting the tree harder and harder.  She became frightened of the rage that began to release.  As she continued the assault on the tree, she began to scream at her mother.

She suddenly felt a change come over her.  She looked at Katara with fear in her eyes.  She suddenly felt pain throughout her body and changed to a wolf pup.  She padded over to Katara whimpering.

Katara smiled and helped Leilani out of the vardo "We're going to take a walk in the woods for a bit" she responded as she led Leilani through the caravan to the gates. She led the little one through the gates and smiled as they began walking through the wood. After several minutes of walking they reached a small clearing. Katara grabbed a long smooth stick and handed it to Leilani "Ok sweetheart find a tree and hit it as hard as you can" she stated as she tucked a strand of hair behind the little ones ear.

Leilani looked over at Tara releasing the tension in her fists.  She wondered if she noticed her anger but not understanding how.  She put a smile on her face as best as she could and walked over to her.  "Alright Tara, where are we going?"  She took her hand squeezing it.

Releasing the Anger

As Katara watched her little family she noticed that Leilani was sitting behind her sister slightly clenching her fists. She sighed softly and crossed her arms as she leaned against the door. "Leilani would you like to go for a walk with me" she questioned as she looked over at her soon-to-be daughter. She had an idea on what would help Leilani but it would only work if the young one was open to it.

The Reunion

Victorious opened the door slowly so she could surprise her children of her presence but as she shut the door and entered the vardo a few steps her children toppled her to the ground.  All she could hear was "Mommma!!!  She hugged them tight with tears in her eyes.  "Hello little ones, have you been good for Tara?"  Erma and Jacob both replied at the same time, "Yes Momma we missed ya."  She kissed their cheek as she looked over at the girls smiling wide with tears running down their cheeks.

She got to her feet and hurried over to both of them, "You want to give your stepmom a hug, girls."  They hugged her tight like they had never before.  "Oh I've missed you two.  Are you okay?"  They both replied, "Yes mommy we just missed you and was afraid you would never return."  A frown formed on her face and she knelt down to their level, "Girls, I promised you I would return.  Not even a bear could keep me away from you.  I may not be your real mom but I love you like your are my own girls."  She paused a moment, "Now I know this is hard to hear but I don't think your mom is returning but it's not because of you.  You're mom is not herself or she would return to you so I need you to consider me your real mom.  Katara and I will take care of you like if you were our own so if you ever need to talk about this please come to me no matter the time."

Delillah listened to her mother and the tears just flowed and hung onto Victorious for dear life.  All her hope was now gone.  She finally realized her mother was never to return again.  She sobbed like she had never before.  Lelani just listened and showed no emotion.  She looked at Lelani with a bit of concern but let it go for another time.  She held on to Delillah and rubbed her back.  "It's going to be alright little one.  I will never leave you."
