walk through flames

They had traveled a fair distance when the time came to rest, he had been proud of his little tyke for keeping up so well. She was obviously tired though and it seemed as soon as they stopped she had dropped with little warning. The adults would settle down in silence, Motif and Rhythm curled together with Shaye snuggled in Rhythm's arms. He was a few feet away, his sleep coming much slower. There were many thought jumbled in his head, too many to let him sleep as he marveled at how far he'd come. Most of all he'd find himself thinking of Gwena, not that he wished to. She had broken him more than he was aware of. Shaye would numb the pain she caused, and now as she slept in the embrace of her aunt he felt the hurt seeping into his heart and his bones. Before he knew it the moon was high over his head, amazed at how much time had passed since they'd stopped here. Bright yellow eyes would watch his sleeping daughter and the women who loved her, his respect growing for the pair. Fear would find him still, he was so unsure of the future he would have with them, of being in a pack. Nothing but Shaye would anchor him to the world and the experience was almost maddening. His whole life had been turned upside down, but for Shaye anything was worth it. Walking through hell if need be. |
