Orphan "What if you don't come back?" whimpered Cinnamon, tears welling up in his miserable, blue eyes. " I will" was her only answer. " Now be a good boy and stay right here" "But there are so many warriors fighting against the humans! It wouldn't make much difference if you weren't there, would it?" Cinnamon asked, pouting. "I must do my duty to protect the forest" She said firmly and left with one last hug. Cinnamon snivelled and wandered sadly if he would ever see his beloved Mum again. The rain pattered down upon the outside of the tree hollow but that was nothing compared to his tears. Eventually, he cried himself to sleep. Days passed and Mum still hadn't come home so Cinnamon ventured out for water. His Mum had told him to stay, but his mother was gone now, and Cinnamon was an orphan. Tears rolled down his cheek as he thought of the family he had once, it was a small one, but it meant the world to Cinnamon. Watch out for the next episode next week!
