Don't Give Up On Me

Morning broke with a roll of thunder that shook the earth and the trees but did nothing to shake the stunned silence from the throat of the boy as he watched his sister Valeriya disappear. Sigmarr wasn't sure how long he'd been sitting there staring at the horizon. Watching blood red tones blossom over blue-tainted snow, chasing the stars from the sky and taking his family with it. His mother, Raisa was gone, vanished again into some fit of madness he was powerless to save her from. Gone also was his sister Valeriya. She'd gone to go and find their mother and bring her back and as much as he wanted to believe her he knew in his heart he'd probably never see either of them again. Rain was beginning to fall and still he sat before he just got up and started walking. Things had been looking up. Raisa had returned, he was getting along better with Kassander, Virgil and the rest of the family was coming to visit. Now it was like the ground had been pulled right out from under him. What was he supposed to do now? He told Val he'd stay and look after things at her bequest. Black pyres pierced the sky as the boy paused to peer at the remnants of the great fire that had happened well before his birth. He turned and froze. Fear pierced the veil of his broken heart and gave urgency to his numb limbs. A grizzly bear was rutting around a decaying log and it turned to look at the pup, rising onto it's hind legs with a snarl. Bears and wolves were natural enemies?. and this one charged. Sigmarr could do nothing. Could only stare at the black beast charging him and the screaming red seeping across the sky. "Talk" "You" Think |
