Sleepless Nights

Kalliope's eyes were closed when Castiel came into the den, but she was far from asleep. She went through cycles of worry and self deprecation throughout the day as she thought about her children and how Viho had disappeared without her even noticing. She had been concerned about so many things when she realized she was pregnant, but somehow not being able to find her children had never been one of them. Her blindness had caused plenty of problems over the years, but this was probably the worst of them all. She tried to comfort herself with the fact that Castiel could see just fine and he still couldn't find their son either. It was still a thought that gnawed at her and kept her up at night either way. She leaned into Castiel's side as he settled down beside her, shifting her head to rest it on one of his forelegs. It didn't matter if she opened her eyes or not. She'd see the same darkness either way. She smelled the rabbit that he had brought her, but eating was the last thing the felt like doing in this moment. "I hope we find him soon," she whispered softly with a sigh. She felt helpless and useless in this hunt. She could try to track his scent, but once it all but disappeared throughout the territory her contribution ended. Kalli's dream of what it would be like to be a mother had never fully come to light and none of this really helped. Although, the only woman in her life she could compare to was Etain and she had been light years above and beyond what any mother could ever be. At least in her opinion. |
