These things come and go

Of all the things her brother could have told her as a reason for his actions. It was hard to believe Etern was a traitor, but at the same time it wasn't. She wanted to believe all of her family members would care for her like she did them, but she knew that was sometimes not the case. Besides that, she wanted to believe her brothers words. But could she? She knew the illness had been messing with wolves minds. But, he never seemed to get the worst of the illness... It was a hard debate, but she knew in the end she would put her brother above anyone else. And, in the end, he had protected her with his life and had taken a life to defend her, how could she be ungrateful of that? He went on talking and Athena could only look at him in stunned silence. Love? Mate? She blinked, shocked and unable to speak. Was this something his sickened brain had thought up? Or was this something that had been brewing? Did... Did she feel she same? Of course Vereux held a special place in her heart, above Genesis, above their mother, even above their father. She had thought this was simply because of the time they had spent together, because he was her brother, because of the dedication he had given to her. Of course she loved him, but did she love him? "Vereux..." she said softly, trying to sort out her emotions and her thoughts. She liked logic. Things that made sense, had a cause and effect, things she could control. This wasn't one of them. And yet... "I love you too, Vereux," she heard herself saying. And she did. Dearly. Intensely even. But could she really believe what he was saying? He needed to be cured. If he still felt the same once he was better, well, that would be a different story. "Please go clean up and get back to Eris's den... Please, just do that for me, and stay there. I worry about you wandering around out here like this." she said with a sigh, turning her gaze to their uncle's dead body. "I'll take care of him. We'll... We'll talk later, okay?" Speech Thought |
