Anika

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well you can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
'Cause when I open my body I breathe a lie

I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot

But oh my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
So hold my hand consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate

Anika was fine with her fledgling status. She didn't need a role to prove her worth to her pack; she had served it well as a hunter already. Whenever the Sunhawk found a new role for her to take on, it would just be another step in her life. Tarkas didn't share her optimism though. He was cruel in his words, calling her harsh names like useless and pointless, wondering what her purpose was to stay in the pack if she didn't contribute like the others. This lead to countless fights between the two wolves.
