We're Falling

Kaitlyn paused, hearing Erebos call out to her. She turned to look back at him, ears and tail lowering slightly. Had he changed his mind about her doing what she had wanted? He was acting a bit strange, almost frustrated as he paced behind her. Was he getting tired of her? Kait’s eyes shown with worry once more, wondering if perhaps Erebos might run her off after all. But his words, when he finally spoke them, caused the young wolfess to lower her gaze almost guiltily. It was true he didn’t guard her at night… he didn’t make any effort to make sure she didn’t run away…

“…I…” The femme sought her own words, her reason for staying with the wolf. She lifted her gaze back to him after a long moment, sadness within her eyes. “You’re all I have…” Kait confessed, tears starting to sting her eyes. “My sister and her mate didn’t bother looking for me… they don’t care… and you… you don’t judge me… You tolerate me… so…” Kaitlyn gave a soft whimper, taking a step towards Erebos again.

“I feel like you understand more than others too...! So please… please don’t chase me off… I want to stay with you! I’ll hunt every day if I must… just please…” Her words dipped with her desperation. She didn’t want to be alone… Gods she didn’t want to be alone.
