at war with good and evil Projecting heartache with every fiber of his being, Laufey crept up behind Erani's boulder and peered around it at the pack wolves. His eyes drifted around the gathering, taking in the throng of strangers. There were big ones and small ones, ones with odd patterns and odd eyes. He'd never seen so many differences before, so many different wolves. They were making him nervous. It had always been just his family and Raven's, and seeing wolf after wolf enter the gathering was overwhelming. Laufey's eyes welled up with tears and he ducked behind the boulder. His mom was gone and he didn't know what to do. She was so far away that he couldn't even wrap his mind around the distance. Around him was a sea of strangers all talking and smiling, but he was alone. This realization cut through his chest and his fear reached an all new high. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to do. Laufey wanted to run, to hide. He wanted to crawl into an impossibly small space and stay there until his mom came back for him. His breath caught in his throat as another thought struck him. What if she never came back? Finally, after several long minutes of holding it in, he began to cry. The tears spilled over and began racing down his cheeks in quick succession, but he didn't make a sound, not one single cry. Instead he sat there behind the boulder, completely silent except for the occasional gasp that was beyond his control. He didn't know what to do. "Speech" |
