I gave up hoping some miracle would set me free

Keki sat quietly as she waited for Kaveh to reply; and soon enough he did. She didn't want to force him or pressure him; the dame just wanted to help. He then said he wasn't very good at sharing problems. The femme noticed the nervous chuckle he emitted before his light blue gaze, almost like seafoam looked back down at the water. And before she knew it he was sharing it. Keki was drawn into the story of how Kaveh and his mother and sister were traveling through a blizzard. And then she learned that there was a brute after his mother. How strange, how frightening! With a nod she listened with a sympathetic look on her face. Next the dame listened to Kaveh say his mother got hurt before he got separated from them. That sort of reminded Keki of when she left her own sister Maka. A small shiver ran down her spine as she thought of that as well. Keki had felt guilty for that and even now. The brute continued and said he had been searching for his mother and sister and still is. Keki watched his ears fold back. The femme ran her tail across his back to provide even a smidge of comfort.

Kaveh spoke again soon after. He said it was his job to take care of them. Next he said they didn't have a father so it was his job. And after that saying he failed. No-colored eyes widened at the mention of that. Was this how her own children would end up? Was this their future? Kaveh sighed before looking up at her with a smile. Keki returned the small smile before perking up her light gray lines ears some more in case he had anything else to say. The man apologized for unloading everything on her. The female shook her head with a smile. He didn't unload too much on her, everything was completely ok.

Keki then looked back up at him as he asked her about what was on her own mind. With a small shrug Keki answered.

"Well...it's just a whole mess I myself made. And I'm sorry to hear about your family. If Inser them I'll let you know, ok?" she said

The dame then took a breath before she spoke.

"I guess I made this mess. If I hadn't left my sister seeking a pack when we were just pups I wouldn't be here. Yet then again I'm happy here at the same time. I was young and stupid...so I put my dreams before my family. Next thing I knew it a wolf found me on the border of Glaciem, she's my adoptive mother now, and my sister's. My sister Maka found me too. I was happy and instill am but not in the same way. Last Spring I wandered out f the territory, and I knew I shouldn't have. I just seeked adventure. And next thing I know....I was raped. And now I have three lovely children, my sons. But I found that taking care of them myself and hiding them from the truth is hard. And I feel guilty still. They don't deserve a life from the other pups. They deserved a father and he's either still out there or dead. I know they feel bad for me; how they look at me. It makes me want to cry when my son Tiberious says he'll protect me. I know he will...but. They shouldn't feel that way, like its their fault, it's mine. And I'm sorry to unload on you as well. But I feel as if my life is over after they're grown. No man would ever want a dame who already has children. And then I look at my own children as they grow. They're going to leave me too one day, And I'm scared. That's the worst part...because I'm scared Kaveh." she said before looking down at her paws.

Keki didn't want to look back up at him. She don't want tonsee his reaction. Would it be sympathetic, disgust? Bi-colored eyes never left her paws, she was too ashamed.

"I'm sorry Kaveh." she said out of spite.

The dame sat there quietly after and continued to stare at her paws....and she would stay like that for the stars know how long.
