breathe me [helios]

Guilt.  It racked her mind every time she was near him now, stabbed her straight through the heart like a dagger.  Why she had thought it a good idea to keep her worry bottled up, Natalya had no idea, but with Apollo the top had finally been blown off.  She had sworn the albino boy to secrecy, but now it gnawed away at her more than ever.  It was as though telling one wolf had opened the floodgates and she could no longer hold back the rushing waters of her problems.

She had to tell him.  Helios had a right to know everything that was going on with her, she had been wrong and cruel to keep it from him.  Nat took a deep breath, before nudging Helios awake in the den beside her.  "Come outside," she whispered quietly once she was sure he was awake, then made her way out to the log they so frequently called their meetings at.  She was a bundle of nerves as she sat beside it to wait for him.
