Erani listened to her son speaking, her ears falling back further and further. Finally, she gave a low growl to her son, a command for silence. ?What happens, Gabriel, when you have no friends to come and help you when you are in a situation that you can?t escape on your own? When I am dead and gone? When you have pushed family away because they take steps in their own lives? Friends may bring pain, my son, but they also bring pleasure, if you would learn to accept them, let them in. Your siblings tease and play because they are young and carefree. You have a great deal to learn, and you cannot learn like this. Your words, and the hate I see in them, hurts me, Gabriel. ?Epiphron is no traitor, nor is she selfish. Not everyone can keep the promises they make. She didn?t throw us all away. She?s not leaving forever. She hasn?t thrown you out of her heart, like you are doing to her. You want to be left alone. Well, I have experience in being alone, Gabriel, my quiet son, and it is a living Hell.? Her words were spoken quietly, but her pain riddled each syllable as a barely controlled tremor. ?Your family loves your for who you are. Surreal has been miserable because she feels like she did something to chase you away. She loves you, but you push her away when she tries to be with you.? Why was it always the ones she loved? Either dying or turning to the dark path? ?Gabriel. You have so much life ahead of you. Don?t throw it away to hate. I?ve seen wolves that have. I don?t want to see you as one of them.? She finished, and felt a small body pressing against her. She hadn?t felt it in the shock of her son?s speech, hadn?t realized that Lyric had followed her. Her tail swept around her youngest child, holding her close. Was it always the pups she gave the most time to that turned out this way? Perhaps she had doted too much on Gabriel. She hadn?t given him a reason to spend more time with the rest of his siblings and learn to deal with them and actually enjoy them. No reason to spend more time with his father. "I love you very much. Seeing you like this... I can't take this pain." |
