Mirror Mirror on the Lake..

The deep rumbles of comfort vibrated through her from the male. It reminded her of home. Her family?oh her sweet family. She missed her one brother, the largest of their litter. He had been the one to stand up for her against the other two. Funny how things are, that the alpha of the litter and the runt are the more closely bonded pair. Where as he had been bigger, stronger and darker in color, Elysia was small, swift, and a fast learner to hunting. They evened each other out nicely and would have made a formidable pair had she not lost her family. Her heart ached with worry for them, more so her mother. She feared that the lone wolfess would not have made it to spring. She had this wound, from falling she claimed, and it had smelled wrong. Elysia might not know much but she was sure her mother had fallen ill at the least if she was still alive.
With a shuttering sigh she blocked those thoughts out. The male next to her had spoken and it took a moment for Elysia to register what he had said. He was right, to not be ashamed of not knowing things. Maybe this was proof that Elysia needed to be around others. She knew nothing about her kind, on how to act. Only knowledge she had was from her mother. Those only got you so far in life. But Elysia was ashamed of her fear of the shadows at night. You just didn?t know what was out there in those silent still pockets of darkness. Maybe she was paranoid? She believed her mother had been. Always in a rush and covering their tracks. Maybe paranoia was passed down by blood? Was that possible? She wasn?t sure but either her reason of being afraid.
The white male?s voice tickled her ears from being so close. Eat? Eat?! How could she when she felt sick with fear? She refused to open her eyes to the darkness. Instead she buried her head into him. ?I?I?m not hungry. You have it.? She replied right before her belly rumbled, calling her bluff. She couldn?t tell him why she was afraid. He?d just ask why to a question she had no answers for. ?I?m?Elysia Kyra..? She tried to change the subject. Plus she really did want to know his name and not refer to him as Large White Male.
Oh no..what if he left?! There was no guarantee he would stay here with her. He was an adult and had every right to leave when he wished. Maybe he would think she was crazy and leave. No..no that couldn?t happen. Not when she didn?t have a den of some sort to hide in. Maybe she could ask him to help her find one? But that meant opening her eyes and walking around in the night. Oh by the moon help her!
