there's nothing holding you back

A log would creak, pulling her attention. Her skull shot up, eyes searching. And then her name would fill her ears. She would still. How had she not noticed him? She would turn slowed to face him, her eyes wary as they settled on his face. He looked apologetic, his ears pulled back as he searched her face. "Shai." His name fell from her lips in a clinical manner, detached and unfeeling. Her walls went up quickly, protecting herself from him. She had nothing else to say, she would wait for him to continue, her name lingering as though he might want to say more. She would keep distance between them, both physically and emotionally. Her hopes of spending the day along had been dashed, and the one wolf she didn't want to see, was standing before her. She didn't show her feelings, carefully tucking them away. There was so much she wanted to scream at him, but she didn't. She had no right to do so. She wasn't even sure why he was so guilty looking, they had nothing between them, aside from newborn feelings. Feelings at he had tossed aside for a complete stranger. A stranger they had been told to stay away from. He had disobeyed the Elders, the oracles, their goddess. Was she mad at him? Had the goddess punished him for his disobedience? Or did she have something else in store for him? |
