For the First Time

The tension that hung in the air was almost more than Shai could bear, he was not a wolf who dealt with his anger very well. He didn?t know what to do with himself or how to express the feelings that raged in his stomach. He?d prayed about them every day, and yet he?d not yet forgiven the deed. Was it warranted? Absolutely not, but he would not let go, he had let it fester, and now here it was and here they were. Strangers now. Then there was an apology. Another sigh would leave his marked lips as his gaze would fall to the ground beside his brother?s form. He knew he didn?t hate his litter mate. He knew that he should harbor ill will towards him or the circumstances, but so badly he wished to blame someone. The next words were hard, but very much needed. "It?s not.. your fault, Skah." They were reluctant to come out, but they would as best Shai could allow. He?d feel his guts twist as though the words were particularly painful. "I?m sorry I never sought you out." Surely, he felt the same great pang of loss when their mother passed. They could have mourned together, like what was supposed to happen. But he hadn?t, and now the wound would fester. Breath would gush from his lips as a breeze would suddenly appear as if from nowhere, wrapping its tendrils around Shai?s long fur and beaded scarves. At a distance the sound of thunder would interrupt their words. |
