Tell me sweet little lies

Philomena knew in her heart she didn’t want to do this. Her heart hurt but she was in too deep now to just simply stop. She wanted desperately for them to come apart but it felt like she couldn’t do that until one or the other pushed the other away.

She felt fangs tear into his flesh again and this time her eyes widened. What… was she doing? This was her brother! A flash, a memory, of her family together, whole, passed through her mind. The two of them as pups, smiling…

Then she felt Ulric’s paw against her neck. The shove on the injured area brought forth another yelp from her lips as she stumbled back.

Blue eyes briefly lifted to meet with silver. Hurt swam in them and that anger had dissipated…

“I can’t do this…”

She averted her gaze, feeling that pain in her chest grow… and did what she had been doing best.

She turned on her heels and ran.
