The Past Tastes Bittersweet

She had heard the strangled cried just as she caught wind of her sister. Fear filled her to the brim. But it wasn't fear for her physical wellbeing, no it was her emotional state that the russet woman feared for. She would rush to the den Cru shared with her children. She wasn't sure why, but he had isolated her upon her return, sleeping with their children away from her. It still pained her. She wasn't entirely sure why she was going to find him, it's not like he would notice her absence within the den. But she did, and she told him what was happening. As soon as she concluded, she would turn and race towards her sister. It had taken forever to pinpoint for her brothers trail and then follow it. He had been moving along he border, just as he always had. If not for the circumstances, she would have been pleased, happy even. But no, he had found Maija. What was the golden woman even doing here? Had she come for a surprise visit?

Her paws moved rapidly against the earth, eating the ground until she found them. The scene that unfolded beneath her was something out of a sad romantic movie. Taurig looked as though he might collapse at any moment. His ears were pulled against his skull, milky eyes were closer. And her poor sister. The golden woman was in a crumpled pile on the ground, tears wetting her cheeks. Immediately the Queen became defensive. Her eye would narrow, ears pulling back against her skull. Her brother had done this. She and Maija had picked up the pieces together, out eachother back together. And as soon as she had laid eyes on her brother, she knew his presence would destroy the golden woman. And she had been so painfully right. There was no way he sister would recover from this. And just when things had gotten better, she had a child, a new man in her life. And it was all gone.

She would halt, startled by the scene that unfolded before her. Maija pressed herself against Taurig, seeming to enjoy his touch. Tears wet her golden cheeks, the air was so thick with tension she could touch it. Her brother was unmoving as he returned the embrace. This was not good. She kept about ten feet between herself and the ex lovers. "Maija." her voice was soft, gentle, hoping to shake the woman back into reality. Before the woman could see it, she would wipe the pity from her eye. Her and Taurig would eventually make up, they were siblings, tied together for eternity. But him and Maija.... He had broken her heart on more than one occasion. She had moved on, picked up the pieces to her heart and moved on. And she would be damned if she let her brother break the golden woman again.
