Biting Down

This was certainly a bit of the ordinary. Not that he really had an ordinary now, since he'd only been back for a few months, but it still was the first time since his return that Aza had asked him to talk. Usually, they never saw each other alone, only when the rest of the family was around or if there was something to do with the pack. But not today. His younger sister had called out to him with the intent of talking. But about what exactly? She didn't seem to have very much that was troubling her, but then again he wasn't around her often enough to know what was going on in her life. But, he would make more of an effort to, after today especially.


She gave him a look that told him she didn't know where to start. Gael didn't pressure her, didn't try to coax her. He could tell she was on the verge of spilling, so he was just going to let it come out on its own. And boy did it come out. I'm going insane! I don't know what to do. There is so much pressure being put on me right now. She dropped to the ground, hanging her head as she continued. Everyone wants me to shape up and become a great leader but no one has shown me what to do. Everyone is judging me. I'm just not cut out for it. It's just too much between that and my personal feelings and everyone's constant chiding. Erani hates me, Cromalin thinks I'm a floozy, Sarak thinks I hate him. Everyone has opinions but no one honestly tries to help me. Woah. That was not what he had expected. And don't even get me started on my boy troubles! Wait, boy trouble?! What the hell had she been doing lately?


Haunches folded beneath him, plume curling around his paws. This was going to be a very long talk. He recognized some of the names, like Erani and Cormalin, though he wasn't too sure who Cormalin was, but the name Sarak rang absolutely no bells whatsoever. So that left the question; who was this Sarak kid? First of, no one hates you Aza. If I don't hate you, then neither does Erani, Cormalin or Sarak. Second of all, no one is helping you because you haven't gone out and asked for it. No one is a mind reader. If you don't communicate and ask for help, then no one is going to reach out to you. If you asked, maybe things would be easier for you. And last of all, who the hell is Sarak? And what do you mean boy troubles? A hint of a growl touched the last two sentences, an eyebrow raising questioningly towards his sister. She didn't have a boyfriend did she?
