wordsHer breathing was still irregular and it sounded hoarse to her own ears. She knew she was still crying, the occasional tear slipping past her cheek and sparkling upon the dark shades of her coat. She was so confused now, she wanted him to stay with her, wanted him to tell her that he would never leave and that she was important. He promised her adventures and training and to be a princess of the pack, but he did not promise that she would be his, or that he would be hers. A new emotion overwhelmed her, took a hold of her entire body until nothing else mattered. She wanted him to go, she didn?t want to see his face right now, he should just prove that he did not care and turn around right now and go. Clearly he wanted to! Clearly he wanted to be anywhere but here so prove it!! her mind seemed to scream it at her and she would open her maw.
To her surprise these would not be the words that came free. ?I need? I need? I need Val? she said simply, as though he held the answers to all the world. With that she would turn, she had intended to never look back, to not see his expression but she could not help herself. Her eyes would search for him and a hint of a smile would touch her tear stained cheek, there was hope on the smile, a promise, that this was not the end. She said nothing more but turn and ran.
