NEED SOME TIME TO CLEAR THE HOLE IN MY HEART

His breath would come out in a sigh at her words, at the disbelief that he could mean what he could say, that she could not release him so easily. The coldness in her eyes when at last they met with him would chill him to the bone. He had adored the life he had seen in Sib, her gentleness and her fire that had burned together. There wasn't a single trace of either now and the boy cowered a little further inside his skin at the thoughts that this could be his doing. But her words would contradict his thought as she told him he was mearly the icing on the cake. He wasn't entirely certain this was true, he had seen the depths of her emotion when he has spoken, and now the void of them. No matter the truth, he felt certain he was the push that had sent her tumbling off the edge.



She would rise and pace back and forth, back and forth on unsure paws, he would watch her steps for a moment, mesmerised before closing his eyelids and groaning, a soft sound of pain that hissed from between his teeth as he collapsed his head to his paws in defeat. ?Then, I think, I have no words to make this right or to prove how badly I wish to make this right.? He kept his eyes closed and his head to his paws. ?All I have left is action, I would go from here, if it would help you find peace, I would leave this land i've called home, and would give you the right to call for me if ever you need me ? for my tooth and claws, or for my presence, for a shoulder to lean on, for anything. I would go from your sights until you had called for me, if that could do anything to help make this right? He would fall silent, his body tensed as he waited for her verdict.
