carry me away

Indigo had never meant to be so rough, but as Asla’s head swung around and his massive paw collided with her the boy felt panic erupt in his chest. Blood welled up on his sister’s pale lips and Indy was frozen with a mixture of conflicting emotions as she giggled excitedly and freed herself from his grasp. She was full of joy but Indigo just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. He’d drawn blood on Aslatiel.

Dark ears pressed heavily to his skull as she vaulted his back and grabbed tight hold of his scruff. ”Asla, you’re bleeding.” He whined softly, not realizing he was hurting more about her injury than she was. He craned his neck so aim one bright blue eye towards her, barely able to stand the sight of her bright red blood against her fur. It made him feel wrong and he scolded himself for being so careless with his tiny sister.
