Under the Bush

It was only thanks to Thanatos that Shiki was getting better each day. He couldn't exactly remember how he'd gotten back to the redbud nook, but he'd been here since. At first, he had hoped that his mother would return...though it was still hard to swallow the fact that his dad was dead, he knew he would never be back. But what about his mom? Or at least...the woman he thought was his mom...until someone else told him otherwise. His heart felt heavy, but today he didn't want to think about that. He wanted to get out and walk, and when he thought about it, he had never really explored the nook before. Now was a better chance then ever, right?
With the snow touching down, the breeze was cold and made him shiver. The tiny male walked slowly, cautiously, as he kept low while he used the near dead bushes as cover. Honey gaze was brighter now then it was before, so he looked out at the world with more vitality then he had before. He could smell stale scents, as if others had been through before. It frightened him a little, but he couldn't run away from everyone now, could he? |
