can you bind my heart

THE WOLVES WILL CHASE YOU IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT
Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger...

His little eyes searched her face, begging for understanding. As she stared at him and spoke he knew he had a chance. "You can hear me! Oh, thank the spirits, finally!" He hoped closer, eager to embrace her but also not wanting to frighten her. "It really is me. I'm in the squirrel. Something has happened allowing spirits to cross into the world of the living. I've seen others… I don't think it is for long." He gazed up at her, knowing as he spoke the words that he had no idea how much longer he could maintain the possession let alone how long the merging of their two worlds would last. He wanted to sear her face into his memory.

"I've missed you so much. It hurts to see you in so much pain. If there was some way I could help I would gladly do so." Risking rejection he hopped forward and attempted to embrace her left leg, praying this time now he wouldn't just phase right through her.
