Promises are all that drive us

Andromeda watches her father, anger raising at his inability to voice his feelings to her. However, just as quickly as the emotion comes, it leaves and, in its wake, a hollow feeling is left. Pale blue eyes search her father’s features, seeing the raising rage that simmers just below the surface. Her sadness deepens as she wonders if he hates her. Or maybe, he just does not to remember the beautiful wolf that Zee was. Sorrow tugs at her heart and she looks at the dummy, suggesting they go chase off a predator together to release some of his anger.

The shudder does not go unnoticed but the anger that had been boiling just underneath her father’s blues, seems to cool. Again, he ignores her question and poses one of his own which has Andy shaking her head and softly saying, “No. What happened dad?” Pale blue eyes meet his gaze with and grief swirls in the girl’s eyes. However, her ears perk forward, ready to give her father her undivided attention and learn the reason behind Briar’s scars.

Part of her wishes to move to him and be held while he tells the story but she hesitates to ask for such tenderness. She is uncertain if he even wants to touch her so she does not move toward him, even though her heart screams out at him to hold her.
