the day the earth stood still

At the first sound of a wolf's approach, June was on guard, head swinging to locate the figure. For a second, when June realized it was Gus, she relaxed imperceptibly, only to realize that something was terribly, terribly wrong. Blood dripped from his eyes, trailing down his face, and his muscles twitched and his voice. If it hadn't been for the fact that she was watching his mouth move, June wouldn't have believed that it was her brother speaking. The angry words made the female cringe back, pinning her ears against her skull. He'd never said anything like that to her before! And he wasn't all right - something was clearly wrong. But June was afraid to ask him what had happened, afraid that he would lash out, and he had threatened to kill her. Last words? "Gus...? Don't hurt me, please!" Fear colored her words, but still she clung desperately to the hope that he was playing some cruel prank instead of truly contemplating her death. Her legs tensed, ready to carry her away should Gus make a move towards her, but for the moment, June remained pinned to the spot. Despite her wide gaze, despite the fear curling in her veins, she stayed still. Whatever was going on with Gus, he was her brother. She couldn't run away from him. And something had to be wrong with him. She could see his body twitching, but maybe that didn't explain his words. Maybe he really did want her dead. A whimper escaped the female at the thought, but still she couldn't bring herself to flee. "Speech." |
