YOUR SONG

Quote:For a moment she paused, wondering if she was hearing ghosts yet again. But the chains that bound her to him made it impossible for her to disobey; the knight rose to her feet and made haste, ink-dripped paws kissing the ground with a haste that should have been difficult for a woman in her condition. And yet his call was enough to spur her onwards, to bring her towards him, and when she finally came into the sight of her albino Master she approached, taking a submissive posture and offering him her neck. ?My liege,? she greeted, the urgency in her voice evident. ?Took you long enough,? she spoke, but it was all in jest, a hopeful ice breaker that would ease any anger he might have towards her. She had taken so long to find him, and she?d missed him so.
She yearned to leap forwards, to embrace him, but she dared not to. She wanted to see his reaction first, to tell if the King would embrace the Knight or shun her, to see if she had earned his forgiveness. A frown tainted her smile for a moment; if he held no anger towards her now, she couldn?t see him enjoying her presence once he knew. At least, not in her own mind. In her mind, where she owed him so terribly and had only failed him, at least in the one way she couldn?t stop thinking about.
