Send me “I miss you” to know what my muse will say after 1 year, 5 years, then to 10 years after your muse’s death.
❀} —- Ugga gave a quiet sniffle, waiting until the rest of the Croods were fast asleep. She had kept her facade up for long enough, since she needed to be strong for her family. However, there was only so much you could persevere through before you had to break down. Since Guy had passed away, it seemed that everything was going downhill.
"Hey Guy?" Ugga’s soft voice carried a little on the wind, filling the empty beach. "It’s been a while, I know." The woman gave a soft sigh, kicking at the sand. "I know you’re in a better place now, but I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have gone on your own. At least one of us should have come with you." With tears blinding her eyes Ugga looked back up at the sky, seeing the familiar glow of all the suns in the sky.
"Please watch over Eep. Keep her safe. Bring her back to us, if you can." It had been a month since Eep had ran away, and like everyone, Ugga was growing anxious. "We miss you."
❀} —- Ugga watched with growing concern as Thunk and Sandy displayed their new and improved trap. She was relatively happy that they had been able to make such an amazing thing, of course, but the way that she held tightly onto Grug’s hand showed that she was more worried about their safety.
"Ok, now we just wait," Thunk commented from behind the rock that he and his sister were using for protection. The impressive impersonation of the lady bird was continued, but the two Croods were peeking discreetly to see how close they were to ensnaring the animal.
The surprised squawk, as well as a sudden flurry of feathers, proved that they had succeeded, and both Thunk and Sandy looked up to see the colorful bird in the air, suspended their by the rope they’d placed. Gleeful sounds of triumph filled the air as the siblings congratulated themselves.
Grug and Ugga were stunned, before finally Grug began to applaud. With a smile, Ugga joined in, happy that they were enjoying themselves. ”Good job, you two,” she congratulated, receiving happy smiles from both of them.
"Guy would have been so proud of them," Grug commented in a tone that only Ugga could hear. Her smile turned a bit melancholy, and she nodded.
❀} —- Ugga tucked a lock of greying hair behind her ear, standing alone once more on the beach. The feeling of the waves crashing against her feet was reassuring, and it made the woman gave a faint smile. Many people were now somewhere among the suns, the suns that she could just barely see through the clouds, leaving the rest to mourn.
"I hope you have enough room up there, Guy," she commented softly, watching the water quietly as it slowly came forward and pulled back. "Mom will certainly be a handful, and so will Grug. Maybe Eeep’s up there too, but I can’t be sure. Nobody can, except maybe you." A faint chuckle escaped her, although it sounded more bittersweet than anything. "I hope you’re all doing okay."
"Sandy’s going fast," she continued, the 12-year old’s smiling face coming to mind. "She’s gotten really good with the traps, and so has Thunk. They’re both marvelous actors, even though they have yet to have their own ideas. Don’t worry, they’re getting there, I promise." A gentle breeze came across the beach, almost as some sort of silent approval.
"Please help Grug," Ugga murmured softly. "He still has to understand the whole idea thing. I’m sure you two will come up with great things." She smiled up at the sky, somehow comforted.
"I can’t wait to see them."
