Cry Me A River

Ears had twisted back unsure of how he might reply, she wouldn?t blame him if he would be mad or rude. It would seem he might have been seeking solitude here at the border for a reason. He turned to her, blue and maroon orbs staring at her, so blank, void of anything. But his words indicated she could join him if she wished. She watched as his head reached back to their original place. She hesitated, one paw lifted before silently walking over to settle near him. Plush tail curled around her small frame as if protecting her. She would not be aware of it, but her body gave small signals of how closed off she was to everything. The way she laid down, curled in a tight ball, blue orbs casting glancing at the white male, ears alert. But her emotions and heart were closed off. Broken to lay scattered and never to be put back together, that is if all the pieces were there.

The day those pups died by their own mother, followed by her banishment, it had broke her. She had walking away knowing a piece of her died with those pups, another in the betrayal of her mate before the birth of those pups, and more in finding her own sister turn against her followed by the rest of the pack. Even now she feared something of the same would happen here. She didn?t want to get close to anyone again to only lose them. And yet there was a small flickering light of hope within her. Hope that she could move on in life. Maybe not find another mate, but maybe someone she could care for as a friend, pack mate, a pup. "....Why, if you don?t mind me asking, are you out here alone?" She asked softly, blue eyes starring off in the distance. She couldn?t fully rest, she wasn?t capable of doing so with this pain in her heart. It ached, throbbed, and squeezed. In all that had happened she had never felt the sorrow of losing a mate, just betrayal, and anger. Perhaps if she had left her sorrow surface it would be too much for her to handle. Even still there was very few things left that she could find joy in.
