I Told You To Run

By the way she reacted to his words, and her facial expression, he thought she wasn't listening. He thought she wasn't even paying attention, just thinking about her own things as he went on about his own problems. And he could understand...he just wanted to help, after all. The same thing happened to him. Although, he really did listen to others sometimes. When their words really meant something to him. But even after saying her problems weren't his business, he was really itching to understand why she looked and acted so...depressed? Sad, low...not happy. She wasn't just stubborn, he could tell. "The only way I can be helped is to be dead."

His ears flew back against his head, heart sinking and a painful feeling bubbling at the pit of his stomach. "I think..." He pulled his tail over his paws, chin sinking into his chest as he tried to collect his thoughts. When he had been younger, going through all those rough times...the thought of death had never come to him. Death was just...it wasn't needed! This lady was so young and she had so many things ahead of her, he knew it. Why did she want to die? Was some assassin chasing her? Ixionn slowly stood back up, eyes pale with concern. He sighed and shook his head.

 "Please don't go hurt or kill yourself." He pleaded, turning his eyes to her.  "You're so young, that'd just be stupid." The boy said aloud. He didn't know what haunted her mind, so he wouldn't know. But even so, he meant every word.

Things were just getting depressing now. Plus, she never answered his question, whether they could be friends or not. So...he just put it aside. For now they were just two souls who knew each other. It could grow from there. Ixionn turned away from her, eyes resting on the moon, then the green grass beneath his paws. He'd remember...it was finally spring. Maybe there was a lake or pond nearby?  "We barely know each other, but...I want to get to know you more, even if you are pretty stubborn." He laughed softly, shrugging his shoulders and turning his gaze back to her.  "A little ways from here there is a nice lake...it's located more toward the west. Wolfpaw Lake, I think it's called." He remembered going there once. He went fishing, but that lake was nice for swimming, too.

 "We can both go swimming there. Even if you don't like water, or don't know how to swim, you should definitely come. If you don't, I'll send my iguana to come annoy you." He said, almost seriously. She needed to have some fun! They didn't know each other very well at all, but even so, he wanted to have some fun with her.
