He wasn't a coward. He never had been. He'd always been one to rise to the occasion when life demanded it. If he had to protect his family he would. If he had to take down a bear to protect his pack he would. Anything that was asked of him he would do it, even if it resulted in his own death. He'd always been that way. He'd found something to be loyal to and give servitude to for the rest o his life. He'd been doing that for some odd years now. He'd done so faithfully and in return they gave him a home, loved him, and even valued him as a pack member. Course, now he'd probably be seen as the pack's psycho. He was intent on getting as far away from that blasted volcano as possible. Reality still hadn't set in yet. To him the earth was shaking, ash was falling from the sky like gray snow and lava was oozing from crevices while the eruption bathed even the sky in red. Everything was red. He hated it. Hated the feeling of terror as it pierced his heart. Hated the adrenaline that pushed him away from the so-called foe he was distancing himself from. He hated running, but it wasn't something he could fight. He'd feel even more ashamed that was was running from images in his head. It was too real though. How could it not be? His breath was labored. Thankfully he was used to high climates, but still it was a strain on his body. Part of the problem was he was still hyperventilating. He'd never had a panic attack. Sure he had bad dreams about this. The incessant worry that he'd never find them. It'd left a toll on his mind. Sometimes he'd have nightmares that he was forever lost, drowning in a sea of magma, but ti'd never been as bad as this. Never. Then again he'd never been this close to an active volcano. Not since the initial eruption. He was still very out of it. He still couldn't see that his faithful companion tailed him in the sky, or even that his loving wife was chasing after him. The only thought was to get away, which was rapidly bringing him to the Delta. Speech, |
