Mara closed her eyes as she finished packing the backpack where she'd put hers, Logan's, and Lily's clothing and a few personal possesions, quickly putting it on and then picking up her little boy, stroking his hair and then kissing his forehead, unable to stop crying as she gathered Lily to her as well

"You can take it off." She walks over and lays him on the couch, then tucks an afghan around him.

Mara stared at him, then beant next to her son and tucking him in before looking away, the tears flowing freely again as she shuddered.

"I'll get Logan." She shifts to wolf and trots down the hall to pass through the door and jump on House.

[mara_river]

House started and sat up, blinking groggily.

"Zanoah?" he frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Back where she waited Mara tucked Lily in next to her brother, then sank to her knees and started to pray, her chest feeling raw and exposed as she crumbled against the couch and sobbed into the corner of the blanket.

-It's morning,- says the dusky wolf. -And Mara is here, looking for Logan.-

Who isn't awake yet.

[tehhouse]

House frowned.

"Mara..." he didn't know the name, but was sure from the look of the wolf that it was urgent. Turning he gently shook Logan's arm. "Honey, there's a girl here who needs you."

"Uh, whu?" She blinks and sits up, then frowns as Zanoah twitches and vanishes. "Huh?"

[tehhouse]

"Somebody named Mara is here to see you," House said, rubbing her back gently.

"Mara!" She snaps awake and barrels off the bed, then does a U turn and grabs pants and a shirt.

[tehhouse]

House stared, then hurried to get up himself, though he was moving considerbly slower than his wife.

Logan hastily misbuttons her shirt over her wifebeater and bursts from the room and down the hall. "Mara?"

((sorry, realized I'd written her in the wrong clothes.))

[mara_river]

Mara looked up, shaking, then disolved again.

"Logan," she whimpered, reaching for her adopted mother desperately as she tried to stay silent and let her children sleep.

[random_xtras]

"Shhh, darlin'. I'm here." The small woman hugs her, eyes narrowed with concern. "I gotcha."

[mara_river]

Mara clung to her, shaking.

"I left him, Logan," she sobbed. "It's over, I left him!"
