What Happened?

He sat calmly outside of the den while everything went on, and glanced over when Vali exited the den. He could see that she was still worried, and with a sigh he tugged on her ear before standing up, walking away from Storm's den. They could talk, but he didn't want to do it within earshot of the new mother. There was no need to make her worry, so he walked quite a distance before settling down. He realized that his paws had led him back to his den, and with a groan he hopped on top of the stone covering. Resting on the cool surface, he dangled his paws over the ledge as he glanced over at Vali. How could he even start? He didn't want to think about it, those images he had seen. Quickly he closed his golden closed, head lowering onto his front legs. "I saw her, her and the puppies. I heard myself singing to calm her, I heard--" Bass had to cut off with the emotions that welled inside him, his throat closing. Letting out a muffled whimper he covered his muzzle with his paws. He had seen it all, remembered the love he had felt for the woman that betrayed him the most. Remembered Rhythm being there the whole time, helping them both through it while he softly sang to her. Bass had used every ounce of his strength to stay calm for Wren, because she was pushing five massive pups out of her tiny body. The love he had felt wasn't something he could forget, but sometimes he wished he could just erase her. It was too hard to remember the good times, more so than it was the bad. He didn't want this anymore. Around every corner was another painful memory, just another thing he had to try to suppress. For once, he would like to experience something without flashbacks sucking any joy out of them. |
