~*~ His mate didn?t even bother answering how she felt. When had she ever cared about her own self. She saw the tears that touched Gargie?s cheeks and immediately thought of him. ?Are you alright, Gargoyle?? she asked. Was he alright? ?Ocena-? No he wasn?t alright! What was he? He looked up into his mate?s eyes. ?I?m a father!? Him! A father! He never would?ve believed it. Yet there they lay ? his sons and daughter. Oh he wanted to hold them, take them into the warm fluff of his chest fur and snoodle them. What a tenderness they inspired from him. The unreadable glaze over his eyes was completely disappeared. His every heartbeat could be seen in those yellow depths. But once more Ocena spoke, and Gargoyle?s head shot up. ?Frisk! Gods above ? I completely forgot him! He was hunting rabbits with me ? but when I caught your scent-? Oh dear. He?d totally forgotten. Soon as the whiff of newborns had reached him, everything else had been whipped from his mind. It had gone utterly blank in the thoughts of his mate in trouble or in labor. Gargoyle?s claws skidded against the earth as he struggled to push himself backwards. He managed it but only with a shower of dirt and grass from the top of the hole. He shook his head vigorously and looked about. Sure enough, the mink had followed. Years of tagging alongside wolves had kept Frisk in good shape? but he was no athlete. As the little brown critter came bounding up the side of the hill, his tiny tongue hung out and his sides heaved. Soon as he caught sight of Gargoyle, he collapsed. Too tired to spit curses. ?Just a moment,? Gargoyle asked of his mate and then loped down the hill to the mink?s side. He picked the ferret up, not as he would a pup by the scruff ? but as he would a snake ? by the back. He let the mink flop in his jaws as he sprinted back to the mouth of the den. ?Got ?im.? The Chief said. (though he probably ought to have known better than to tlak with his mouth full) Scrunching back down and in ? this time being able to get a little closer ? he have left the mink climb out of his rows of fangs and toddle wearily over to Ocena. The mink collapsed dramatically across the she-wolf?s paws, too wearied to notice anything else in the world. ?He just left me behind!? he gasped up into those red and blue eyes. ?I think I?ve killed myself trying to keep up with him. The worlds going dark?? ?That?s because you?re underground, idjit.? He got no sympathy from Gargie. ?Goodbye Ocena?? Frisk sniffed. ?You were the only one who was ever nice to me? I only wish I?d gotten to see you pups before I passed.? Gargoyle groaned and thumped his forehead against the dirt. ~*~ ~Don't want to let you down, but I am H.e.l.l.b.o.u.n.d.~ |
