He struggled for a time to free himself but to no avail. It wasn't until he felt his sister crawl in beside him and lift the frame that held him captive that he managed to twist his head and pull himself back that he was able to free himself. He fell back on his haunches with a hard thud and shook his head, breathing a little hard from his efforts before he heard his sister. His ears fell back and he felt bad. Ashamed even, when she said he looked different. He wasn't sure what she'd think about it all, but he knew they'd look much different now and would be easier to tell apart. Now it wasn't just the difference in color of their stripes on their haunches, but he had antlers while she remained without. "Thanks sis..." He felt embarrassed. Clearly he still wasn't used to his new antlers...just a couple days ago he had accidentally stabbed the bird he was hunting. He glanced away for a moment, trying to figure out what to say to her. It's not like he had asked for these antlers...he felt like a freak. One of the main reasons he had stayed hidden away. "So uh...I'm...I'm sorry I've been hiding away...I just..." What? He didn't want her to be upset about it? Felt uncomfortable? He didn't know what to do about them...he supposed he could try to cut them down but he feared that would hurt. He sighed before glancing her away, "I feel like a freak..." His voice sounded forlorn as a low whine escaped him. He didn't want to look so different...he wanted to be normal again. He didn't even know what use these antlers had other than getting in the way and getting him stuck. He knew she felt hurt, and so did he. Did this mean they weren't really twins anymore? He wasn't so sure what to think or feel about it. |
