Suspicious of Strangers

Esperanza felt a sense of condolence to her elder friend. The sound of water trickled upon the foliage as she listened to the rhythm of the droplets. Her heart sank. Sadness over-whelmed her, and she thought that her life had been a living nightmare since she had lost her siblings, but to lose the life of a small pup whom had not been born yet was something that she couldn't even begin to fathom. A tear trickled down her cheek, the words that had been spoken about his old alpha made her sick to her stomach, and she literally thought she was going to pass out.

"I am sorry about your family, but like i said, like may surprise you in the long run, and you can only take a second sometimes to catch it's true beauty. Love every second you have on earth, and when I have pups, if i ever do, I wish to take the sadness away from you, and i want you to be there for them as well since you are like a father to me, even more than a friend." She nudged the brute and stood upon her paws as the cold soon started to shake her spine and body. Sadness was something that she still felt, but she didn't want to keep on walking the world with depression.

"My mother told me this a couple days before she had been killed. Love and life is like a blooming flower. It is there for a while and you think that everything will last forever because you have someone by your side. But, once winter rolls around, the flower dies; like life passes on to the next world when our time comes. But, in every death, there is life, and just like life is born, a new flower is born, and each more beautiful than the last."

Esperanza treasured her mother's wisdom since she had been older than her father, and had taught her, and her siblings, everything they needed to know in the world. The black femme was happy that she got to live and know the teachings her mother had given her in this world since she had been chosen to survive that terrible day. Her emerald orbs sparkled as she was slightly on the verge of tears, sucking them back in and then looking back to the male with kindness in her heart. Even though she was from a disliked pack, she was determined to be the flower to their lifeless and cold place, and to show that she was there and willing to give her own life to teach what her mother and father had given, and had spoken to her a long time ago before the slaughter of them took place.
