Now You Know
He watched as the two pups and their companions settle by the wall. He knew they were exhausted, and he felt bad for having to push them so much so far. But it had to be done. He stood there before the opening of the wall, gaze seemingly searching the other side. He still wasn't sure how he was going to find who he was looking for...but he had to keep trying. The pups needed a safe and stable place, and if that Ancora woman was still around, he knew they'd be safe with her. "Uncle 'nigma what's the point of all this walking?" He turned to look at the pair, yellow gaze watching them as he took a deep breath. Before he could answer, however, his nephew asked a question too. "Are we ever gonna go back to momma?"
He winced slightly, gaze dropping to the ground for a moment. "How the hell do I tell them that..." He closed his eyes and shook his head a bit. Then wondered to himself how the hell he had come to care so goddamn much? He had been so good at not showing much emotion, he had been somewhat detached and incredibly reserved...but then after his father was killed, then having to take care of his blind younger brother...
At least, that's when he assumed everything had changed for him.
"I'm taking you to a safe place...with someone who will keep you safe...you'll never go hungry or have to worry about food, and you'll have lots of friends." He turned to look at them, offering a smile. That was the best explanation for an excuse he could come up with right now. "You'll understand when you're a little older." |
