Rain on my parade
05-07-2014, 03:00 PM
The forgotten storm was not to remain so now, not as his paws clicked along the floor, scraping and struggling to find purchase against the rain-slicked stone. Odette was before him, plunging out into the storm and he was quick to follow behind her. Gasping at the sudden chill that touched him as through he had just plunged into an icy sea, and that was still what it felt like. With the swirling storm around him he could barely breathe past the water that flooded before his face, could barely see a few steps before him through its misty endlessness. He would shudder and turn at the growl of the beast, seeing it standing at the outskirts of the cave and watching them in their sodden coats before turning and lumbering back into the warmth of its den. He would shudder again, not certain if he was glad the bare despised the rain enough to remain inside or wrenched at the thought that he was now stuck within it. He would find it within himself to laugh at her words as she grumbled to the back of the vanished bear. He would raise his head to the rain, feel it drip against his skin and fall down the tracks below his eyes as he felt it encase and soak him until not a single piece of him remembered ever having been dry. This night already looked awful, and he could not now imagine finding warmth and rest this night. It wasn?t until he sensed and saw the shivering of the girl beside him that he tore himself from his stupor, and his misery to the rain. He lowered his head with a sigh, hanging limply upon his paws with the weight of the world upon his back. There were more concerns then his own, and even as he started to look about himself to find something to at least her suffering if not his own, she would find something. He would follow her movements, and look further along to see where she headed. He raced after her, a few paces behind and dragged himself up with the grace of determination as he brought himself onto the ledge beside her. He dragged himself into the meagre shelter and slumped against the floor. Barely even bothering to shake of his coat before doing so. Tonight just didn?t want to work did it... he stole a glance to Odette to see how she faired. ?it is what it is? he said, with almost a grin. |
