Sound of the Waves

She could hear the waves crashing on the shore. Though, one thing she did not expect, was to hear paws padding against the soft white sand. She had not been asleep, but she wished she were to remember some of the memories that had haunted her for quite some time. The water kept on rushing inward to the shore, as the water soon rushed back outward toward its regular containment. She heard someone speak, "Are you awake?" In a questionable, yet kind tone.

"Yes," she spoke kindly as her emerald eyes could be seen when she opened up her eyelids. Her deep ebony fur blew alongside the breeze as it moved to the right side of her form, the same side the wind was blowing. "May I ask what your name is?" She asked as she licked her paw slightly and then looked back up at the fox colored wolf. She licked the blueness of the wolf's eyes and gave a small smile, hoping she didn't intrude on the wolf's tranquility.

"Where are my manners," she called out to the she-wolf, "my name is Esperanza, but you may call me Esper." She gave another gentle smile and bowed her head in respect to the she-wolf, not knowing if she were a high ranking wolf than herself and kept her head there for a little while before slowly bringing it back upward.
