Danger In The Darkness

He couldn't understand it. And the more he tried to understand, the more his head hurt thinking about it. He let go of a quiet sigh, ears drooping as he watched his rippling reflection. It was cold out, but his mind and body felt almost...numb. At least, until a soft touch and warm voice met him. Surprised, he turned his head to see his mother next to him, his tail would beat the ground softly for a moment before lying still again. "I'm sorry mom...I...I couldn't sleep.." He frowned as he looked back at the water, dual toned eyes full of indecipherable emotion. Who was he? Why was he here? What was his purpose? What were these strange voices in his head? He was afraid, but he couldn't tell them that..."Did I wake you up? I didn't mean to make you worry or anything..." He looked back at her with an apologetic look, not that she would have been able to see it, but hopefully she heard it in his voice. He reached out and touched her chin with his nose, a move to try and comfort himself. His mom was here. He was safe. He always felt safe around her, but he had never been on his own really to know what that felt like. But he didn't think he'd be leaving her anytime soon. Maybe someday, but not now.
