The Ooze Participant

His simple agreement only added to her undoing. She tried very hard to stop the tears from falling, or at least to stem the flow. She opened her eyes wide, blinking, trying to push back the flow of emotions. She remembered the last time they had attacked her. Their laughter, and hot breath, the rough way they had held her down. Their claws digging into her coat… it washed over her if only by the sheer stark difference of now.

He reached over to her, his paws touching her face. She trembled beneath his touch, marvelling at the gentleness of it. Some part of her still waiting for the blow, for mocking laughter. But he held true to his words, pulling her in close. At first, she was like a rock in his grasp. Stiff and unyielding, until slowly and bit by bit, she melted into him. Trusting him as she had not once in the entirety of her short life. Knowing in that moment that he had the power to break the last of her, or build her anew.

She leaned against the hard, steady crock of his neck and closed her eyes, letting her silent tears fall into his warm coat. > “I don’t understand. Why? Why me?” she asked into his fur.
